Oops, the 1/1250 was a typo. It is actually a shutter speed of 1/125
I have fixed it now to avoid confusion.

And thank you for the kind words. If you liked the Youtube presentation, then I am sure you will like my book on which the presentation was based – Direction and Quality of Light .

Hi Neil, for the last shots of Halie, your settings indicate 1/1250 @ f3.2 @ 1250 ISO. Meaning you’re shooting in high speed flash sync I just wondered why you didn’t bring down your ISO which would bring down shutter speed & everything else including flash power? I.e what governed your initial selection. By the way – your a legend! Just watched your direction of light vid on Utube which brought a few “ooooooohhh!” moments. Not to mention Tangents being the finest learning resource on the net. THANK YOU!

Hi Nate J: Just as a side note with the Lowell ID Lights, you can get the daylight balanced bulbs [100W] for them, I have 2 IDs and I just went to my auto car dealer and asked for the quartz halogen 100W bulbs and they fit perfectly.

It is a pain in the butt getting them out and back in though, so be careful, but certainly doable. I have 1 with the tungsten and the other with the daylight.

It’s not quite a ‘true’ daylight though, you need to run it around the 6000K mark.

Hello Neil,

You’ve done a darned good job of obtaining this look by the use of speedlights, rather than fresnels. Congratulations!

Nate, the limitation with these units is that the external power supply options are pricey. Or you’d have to run a long power cord.

Great shots, great lighting! Having a tall light stand really helped here.

I own a similar setup – Profoto Acute600 B2 and a Mola Demi beauty dish – and I love the lighting!

I love the way you can balance or overpower midday sun with the Acute and the beauty dish, especially on good looking skin.

I try to get 2-3 shots of every bridesmaid coming down the aisle. I need more than one shot ideally because of blinks, etc.
