    Lighting of cars on location

    Thanks. Love the look and thought I might give it a go with my e46 M3.

    Lighting of cars on location

    Can I ask was that just the standard lencarta reflector used here ?.

    Quantum battery

    I havent used with metz but do with canon flashes and quantum flashes. I find them great but there are alternatives that are worth researching.

    How to achieve the shadows on both side of face look.

    The light is coming from in front - gridded / ring flash look ? The tip of the nose, cheeks sort of suggest its fired from in front but firing from the floor upwards rather than downwards. This is reinforced with the arm shadow higher than the arm on the wall behind. Looks like a single...

    Power adjustment on Bowens 750 pro's

    There used to be a switch on the higher power pros which did that. Looking on the site it appears thats not on there any more.

    5d2 vs D700

    I had both at the same time - with equivalent 70-200 VR lens. I ended up with canon as a personal choice - High ISO and Autofocus was a Nikon win. For me the canon needed a little less processing effort to get an image I loved and my wife was into video so the 5D2 stayed and the D700 was sold.

    PS Elements 9 vs CS2 (or later)

    8-bit PSE vs 16-bit CS3+ file handling is one major difference.

    difference between a quantum and an 580EXII?

    theres lots of different mods for the quantum - if using with a brolly I use the reflector as a spill kill and bare bulb to get the max light. Lots of choice even a bare bulb enhancer to control light direction on a bare bulb.

    Is equipment cheaper across the pond?

    From HMRC site. ( If you are bringing it back yourself. This is always a good starting point.) You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 without having to pay tax and/or duty.

    Making a private Flickr set

    I've been sent links to sets that were set to private so it is possible. Will see if I can figure out how it was done and post back. www.flickr.com/help/sharing/ Guest pass had something to do with it here. Cannot read as flickr is blocked from current location.

    1Ds mark2 or 1D2n for second camera

    I had a 1D IIN and now have a 1DS II. If they are close-ish in price the 1DS is what I would buy every time. The high ISO pixel peeping is about the same and it still does 4fps and up to 32 jpgs in a burst. For me 16mp was a big jump vs 8 and everything else is pretty similar.

    Changing Elinchrom flashtubes and tube life

    by my calc that means he fires his flash every 18 seconds all day and night. That is a busy man. :D

    How was this lit?

    The light on the girl is coming from the side. I would say one large light camera left at 90 deg to the girl and then given the amount of light on the boy a large soft box (there isnt much bleed onto the girl (just on her left hand) so I am guessing a large softbox/gridded light set quite high...

    Studio lighting problem (novice) - Pictures staying black?

    mattyh has it correct - seen it before. Follow his instructions above about setting onboard flash to manual and it should all be working
