djHere-82 - SETUP SHOT

Shooting djHere, San Diego's top Promotions company for article in Pacific Magazine.

Using Martin Prihoda's lighting technique from the recent Strobist.com post...

Shot on Shelter Island in San Diego, Ca.

Strobist info: D300, 2 sb-800's and 1 sb-24. ( f/9 1/250sec iso 250)

Camera Left Strobe= sb800 on remote su-4 mode on 1/2 power (should have lowered the power, the right side of models faces got too much light). About 30 degrees behind models with homemade gobo to restrict lens flare (removed for setup shot)

Camera Right Strobe= sb-24 on 1/4 power, 30 degrees behind models with gobo. Triggered by pocket wizard on headphone splitter with 2nd sb800.

Main light= sb800 overhead hand held by assistant. Shot thru umbrella, choked up close. 1/4 power. Triggered by pocket wizard on headphone splitter with sb-24.

Excellent! How did you gobo the back lights? I never gobo'd anything so I really don't know - did you just velcro a card on 1 side?

As a complete punter in this strobist game - I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do this on Flickr!

There is SO much to learn.

Thanks so much

I'm missing something here...
The D300 has a commander mode, so other than the SB24, why use Pocket Wizards to trigger the flashes? Why all the hacking? Wouldn't a hot-shoe w/optical slave have worked for the SB24?

I'm trying to get into the swing of things with a Strobist approach to CLS (I have a D300, SB800 & SB600), and just don't get why folks seem to over-complicate a the system...

NOTE - this only applies to folks using Nikon stuff. I do "get it" for other systems.

I, too, am curious about how this was "gobo"-ed. This whole triangle lighting setup produces some brilliant pics, but it looks like the two rear/side lights are shooting directly at the camera!

it was shot at about 7pm

in this setup shot the rim flashes dont look like they are gobo'ed beacuse they are not. i took the gobos off so you could see the flashes, otherwise they would be hidden from the camera, which is the point...

hope that helps!
