  I'm just about to make one of these but thought I'd try a garden irrigation system. It has adjustable nozzles so in theory you could also create mist or fog. You have a good system there but I think the water droplets are too big and uniform and the flash freezes the action. It looks a little like the beaded curtains you use to keep the flies out in a doorway! Are your holes adjustable? Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking it!

  Very iinformative. As someone who shoots a lot of cars may I suggest having the headlights or at least running lights on, as it gives the vehicle nicer form.

  Well, unfortunately didn’t use any strobes. Just one reflector. The light was bloody awful, too crowded and a nervous model. Maybe I can talk her into a studio shoot. Plus, it was hotter than blazes. I posted a shot on the Westcott group anyway 😊

  I've never had an issue with a Godox trigger. Seems like the Wescott stuff is pretty unreliable.

• 
  @PanopticChopsticksАй бұрын

  Nice try, I've been running the largest workshop company in California for 15 years. I have seen a whole lot of godox triggers go in the trash over the years, more than any other brand. We've traveled the world with Westcott gear, why, because it just works and we make our gear work hard...

  Awesome video Chopstick guys! Definitely prefer the flash, being able to capture the subject and the background. Do you have any tips on good ways to gauge the settings on the Westcott FJ400 when exposing for the background and fill flash for the subject?

• 
  @PanopticChopsticks2 ай бұрын

  Thank for the kind words and for watching. When shooting with flash it is always a best practice to get your desired exposure for the background with the flash turned off. Once you have the desired results for the background you can start adding flash. When going for a darkened background you usually need much less light on the subject so start with a lower power and adjust from there. It is very easy to over power your subject with light.

Found here. *bit.ly/4b6ZZmm* The description from ThinkTank says some 15" laptops but I can tell you that I have slipped my 16" MacBook Pro into the laptop sleeve. It is snug, but it will fit and zip closed. It is such a great bag
