How about this?

One head in the right hand side vent of hilite (half way up - 45 degrees to the right so pointing to the back) Other head on subject in the form of softbox.

OK. Played around with the settings and I am getting the following with these settings: 1/1.3 F 8.0 Hilite setting: Max Subject setting (softbox): -2 stops (I think! It is 2 notches down). Getting there I think!

Braintree, Essex.

I've checked out loads of videos. This is beginning to drive my crazy. I really am totally stuck here.

Sorry but I don't understand how to set it to F16, when my dial is showin Min 1/8, Max 1.

Sorry about all the simple questions but... how do I set the head to F16? Mine is stating Min 1/8 Max 1. :bonk:

OK. Now using it properly! Getting somewhere so will keep you posted!

Each bulb is 100w. How can this be enough? I am not using the flash.

The backdrop is too big for those two lights to light it up. 100w power each is doing nothing to the backdrop at full power. I need the 500w lamps which is what the guide says at http://www.zarias.com/?p=77 With 150w on the subject, 2x100w in the backdrop is giving me a grey background.

I am getting really confused here. Why do I need to control the light in the backdrop? Surely I just need to light up the backdrop?

Would these do the job (with what I have already)?: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250363819809

Nice photo re-touching but I want to get away from that because I take so many photos I do not want to re-touch. What is the different between a flashlight and a 'normal' light?? I've got two umbrella with two bulbs: # Emits bright white light. # Colour temperature 6400k # Luminescence at...
