Thanks. The spacing step was what I was missing.

Hi, I'd like to be able to mock-up what a series of finished framed prints might look like (more than one per frame), as an example something like this: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50132526/ Is there a good way to do this in CS5? I can obviously mock up the frame etc. by...

OK, but using your plate analogy if I go and pick up a larger plate, or even my Christmas turkey plate and look at it from 45' it is a bigger rectangle than the plate? Re: Hot Spots, the issue I've had is using my current brolly box, close enough for super soft light I do get issues with hot...

I may be misunderstanding, certainly. However, my thoughts are that you're courting the nature of the fall-off at the edge of the excessively large light mod (not just the rate of [dictated by distance], but the quality of [dictated by relative size, of which the larger mod is always going to...

Where did anyone say one? Why is everyone getting so hung up on the availability of small flash here. I have four of my own YN560s or later and access to at least another four from a good friend. Plus controller and triggers for the later series. Quad bracket isn't an issue; ball bungees...

1 person; 80cm I'd guess. You can obviously get it super close but as per the hobby link, you can't feather it overhead like that, I've tried in the past and it's just not big enough.

Phil, I have the 'other stuff', plenty of it (albeit a bit battered and held together with tape)! Convertible umbrella, Umbrella softbox and grid grids (DIY) Ringflash (Rayflash) Lots imperfect, lots with trade-offs but the list goes on... even if most of it is held together with duct tape!

You're meaning the parabolic or the softlighter? In answer to your first reply on the thread, have a scroll, have a read: http://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/on-assignment-back-to-well.html there are countless other examples...

Thanks. Hobby is where the Softlighter came from in my head, so it can be done with small flash. Remember, this isn't pro, going-to-be-printed-large stuff, I can buy myself some extra power by bumping my ISO more than others may like (and given where I'll be controlling ambient shouldn't be too...

;) Too much spill I'm afraid, even with a grid. My ceilings are at least 3.5m high.

My Strobist gear (so all portable flash, mostly YN stuff) is all getting a bit tired, used (and a little broken); a friend has asked that I do some portraiture stuff and I've always wanted to use something (relatively) big, soft and overhead (with some nice ring-flash on-axis fill). However, my...

Thanks people.

Can anyone help me out; I've got a x100s and the hood, do I just need a 49mm filter or does it require some kind of adapter? I understand the stock lens cap won't work. It'll be a polariser I'll be going for.

Thanks for all of the kind comments. They're making my wife and I very happy. With regards to printing, no, I didn't get chance.

Thanks. In this case there wasn't that much expenditure on those other things. She baked the cake herself!
