Simple product (seefei)

[longko]

Here's what u can do with ur 2 SB-3000. Reflctor & diffuser out, zoom at 24mm with 1/8 power. Mount is in M mode and off camera is in slave mode. Both head tilt at 45 degree.


You can get a simple reflect like that in Daiso or get the car one. I use a chopping board, better if u use a white smooth cardboard as base.

Out of K10D resized (ISO100, f9.5, 1/180s)

thanks for the setup advice. look simple but i can see a lot of thought had gone into it. never thought of putting a flash at the side and bound the light into the sample. brilliant!

the chopping board is a good idea as a base. i have been using cardboard all along and this is the best idea i have heard so far. the card board gets dirty after a while and i have to throw it away. very envinronmental unfriendly!

owe you a dinner for this!!

[longko]

No need dinner lah. This is just a basic setup. If you are interested maybe we can meet up 1 day to do things like this^^

[seefei]

i like the dark background and glowing light at the bottom of the batteries! how did you achieve that?

i am keen but would be good if more pentaxians are interested!

Using color gel

Cool.. I'm actually quite interested to learn to do good product shots and still life. If you're meeting up for a session, mind if I join? But equipment-wise, I'm still limited to just my AF360 though, not sure if that's enough....

[ishou80]

grab the SB3000 fast! - it is really value for money and with longko guidance, will definitely open up a new horizon in your photography!!

[ishou80]

I wanted to but out of stock and the lady said no idea when stock will be in. =(

[seefei]

when? yesterday still have 6 flashes left...

[ishou80]

I just called them like 10mins ago.

[nouffer]

Wah... so cool! It would be nice if can shoot strobist with other Pentaxians. Been out with Ni**n and Ca**n shooters for months. They share their gear to experiment while while I'm stuck with the gear i have. No fun.

I've attached some of my work below to share. Hope we pentaxians can have a strobist meetup soon. :-)






BTW, anyone here have any idea how to do high-speed sync without a Pentax Flash?

My "guidance" is limited not a pro, just did them for fun.

I managed to hit 1/500s to 1/1000s with a slave flash that has this special mode of tigger on 2nd flash.


But it's not reliable.

There's a flash below the glass with a color gel.

Hi,

My set-up is simple since I'm a one-trick pony. Bare flash on one side, shoot through umbrella on the other side. The power is set according to the available light.

Thanks Longko. Coming from you, thats quite a compliment. I first saw your batteries shot in a malaysian forum a few months back.

Cool! What trigger is that?

[longko]

You gave me too much credit^^; My compliments aren't worth much^^; Anyway when given a chance maybe we can share each other experience^^

Here's the optical slave hotshoe I'm talking abt. It's sold in swissco as HS-02

The one I'd tested is this slave flash which has the same slave mode

Think HS-02 dun get till someone tested it reliable 1st. Outdoor portraits with nice bokeh u need get a flash that support P-TTL HSS liao.
