AlienBees B400's? I have a set as well, I use them with a cybersync transmitter and have never had a complaint. Great pic, did you take it with the shop lights off?

There were some other shots in the set that we're taken with the shop lights off. This shot I just went as hot as possible to over power the shop lights and cut back the background's exposure in post.

I wish I had wireless triggers, I would have been able to setup a rim light to further seperate the car from the background. But, I was able to get the shots I wanted regardless.

Thanks Steven for letting me bust out your bees and shoot your car. Fun times were had. Now I'm going to have to get a set since I'll never be able to be happy with my speedlites from now on. ;)

Derp Steven Derp.

Alien Bees are great lights! I have my eye on a couple of them.

what are the Portland fellas doing today?

[Twelvizm]

Yeah, I'm pricing out some 800, ringlight, wireless triggers and some modifiers. Looks like I'll have to shell out about $1700 for what I want. Gotta pay to.....

[Brilliantrot 318is]

reason I ask is few of my e30 friends from Sacramento are in town, they asked if the Portland e30 crew want to do a cruise (show off out beautiful back roads) all BMW's welcome

I think I'll be BBQing by that time. Text me if you guys figure something out a little earlier.

[Brilliantrot 318is]

will do

[Twelvizm]

Ohhh, I could go for burning some petrol. How about cruising down 224? Maybe Timothy Lake turnoff and back?

Nice, I've been reading a lot about lighting lately there is so much crazy crap you can do with a couple lights

[Twelvizm]

Yeah, I'v been able to do some wicked stuff with just my speedlites fired via infared. I'd rather be using Bees via wireless and a powerpack though.

Sounds intriguing. Get a few people together! What time were you thinking?

[Twelvizm]

I wasn't thinking. I forgot I have work that I need to attack. As much as I would love to go for a drive, I'm going to have ditch my own idea. :(
