Got it.....forgot about the Flickr deal.


You're really going portable studio!! I'm doing just the opposite. I'm trying to go more minimal. Vivitars, Cactus, couple of umbrellas. Nice and light.


I'm going to sell my AB800s and accessories.


Here's one from a wedding last year in August.





Canon EOS 5D, <span class="nowrap"]f/6.3 @ <span class="nowrap"]50 mm, <span class="nowrap"]1/160, <span class="nowrap"]ISO 200 Vivitar 285HV in a 60" white umbrella/black back, Cactus wireless. <span class="nowrap"]Evening sun provides the rim light.


<span class="nowrap"]Here's one fighting the sun...not as aggressive as you're doing.

Canon EOS 5D, <span class="nowrap"]f/6.3 @ <span class="nowrap"]70 mm, <span class="nowrap"]1/200, <span class="nowrap"]ISO 200, same deal as above.


<span class="nowrap"]The Vivitars have been doing really well for me and I have to say after two years that I'm totally impressed with the way the cheap Cactus triggers have been performing. I keep a four light setup in a small gym duffle bag. I use 6V 4.5Ahlead acid batteries that always seem ready to go. The 13' light stands that I bought with the ABs are good and sturdy for umbrellas with a couple of light duty stands for additional uses. For the few gigs I've done recently it makes things really easy and fun.


<span class="nowrap"]Good talkin to you Sean... it's been a while.
