Photographed using my Anytime Anywhere kit, this is a portrait of ‘Paul’ taken in our local pub last weekend…
Using what I call my Invisible Black Background technique to darken down the scene to black I then lit Paul using the Phottix Mitros+ Flash and the Rogue Flashbender 2 Softbox; a modifier that is fast becoming my favourite not just because of it’s size and portability but because of it’s strength.
Up until fairly recently I was making great use of the Lumiquest 3 Softbox but unfortunately after just a few short weeks it’s beginning to look a little worse for wear. Sure I can use some gaffer tape or such like to get it back up and running, but for a piece of kit to last this long and costing nearly £50 is a bit disappointing:
Anyway I’d be intrigued to hear if any of you folks that have maybe been using the Lumiquest for a while have experienced the same or maybe this is just a one-off.
Catch you later,
Glyn
When I got mine I was disappointed to see how it was constructed so I’ve babied it by putting it back in it’s box and carrying it around to shoots. I think it is more trouble than it’s worth and am disappointed by what happened to yours. Your Rogue solution looks to be the way to go thanks for pointing us toward it!
No problem and yeah the Rogue is a great piece of kit.
