Some results from my G11/SB800 portable kit

I know that sometimes I write about something and leave you guys hanging and waiting for more info (like my year old promise that I’d review the 28″ Westcott Apollo Mono softbox) but today that is not the case.  I was so excited after putting together that portable kit that I went ahead and did some preliminary shots using models a few of my buddies as subjects for headshots.  It took me a brief moment to put it all together (including the Lumiquest Softbox III), I used the light meter to get my readings for aperture and distance, and then we were set to go.  This is exactly the reason I put this together and am so excited going foward: its quick, its light, and for what it is it produces respectable results.  Remember: this is a point-and-shoot.

This following picture used a fancy, super expensive white copy paper snoot and not the Lumiquest.

And now we’re back to the Lumiquest with what has been dubbed Nick’s “prison picture”.
