Like I mention in other topic Focus on imaging start yesterday, show will be open till Wednesday at Birmingham NEC arena from 10am to 5pm if someone is local please join us ;)
Right in other tread I show you some random shots here is my gallery witch I done at westcott box. They had some wicked lightning there and they was showing how to use light and how set up lights to get what you want.
Really enjoined this part of the show cus since I am a amateur I have some idea why light is more importen then the camera or even lens !
All photos was done by mine Sony 300 and 18-200mm lens, wish to see few comments do you like it or what would you do different. cheers :)

#5 - by diffusing / manually changing the power of the second flash, I can get the same hair backlight effect. I had gotten the same effect by bouncing some of the backflash into the face, but this is much more efficient.
#8 - I've always wanted to make lighting as drammatic as this, and by looking at the eyes (that aren't post processed to prevent this), I can tell it's a very similar setup to #5, inverted.

This guy whom was showing this set up and telling how to use light in the studio told one think to all people there - Who the hell using bounced flash any more or who using diffusion ?
My answer was like, everybody ? His answer was simply, use soft box + interfit (or w.e it's call) one or two back light and let them light as long as you need, just play with them and you will get amazing effects.
Since I'm a completely amateur ;) I would like to ask you pros what you think ? If someone want to start studio shall he go for flash or constance light like spider lightning ?
Also, how about no 4 ? Think it's my favorite:P

Constant lighting = expensive and get's really hot, and isn't protable at all.

My studio consists of 4 flash units - 3 580exII and 1 430exII
Most portable/efficient solution ever, even if it is pricy.

My diffusers are made of milk gallon plastic (no joke, I cut those and shaped them).
Softboxes are actually octoboxes.
Finally, I use 2 40"x60" bouncer and 2 smaller ones (can't remember size).

Thanks, maybe I will start with some studio shots too, moving to a big city, where I can meet a professional studio (with light equipment) for $20 an hour :D
