This is a pretty simple three light setup with the fresnel again as the main light on the left, gridded head as a kicker on the right and a snooted head on the backdrop

Got it. Thanks a lot!The Fresnel is off to the right with the doors shut down to have the light fall off the lower right of the frame, the angle of the light is centered on Anne face. The strip box is high on the left, the Oscar's fill is 90 degrees to the right low output pretty far off the set, the background light is behind the backdrop, hope that helps

Marc,Masterful.
If you have a moment, could you expound on the use of the Fresnel ... your thoughts on the quality and control of light compared to other choices ... like say a Profoto 9' gridded reflector with barn-doors.
BTW, your participation is much appreciated

Irakly, Great! :thumbs:I haven't posted for quite some time. Just was too busy doing nothing
Shot this last month in Siberia. Tree-light set-up. The most pleasant part was lighting the string
Marc, it is a relatively simple setup, really. Three lights: The main light was a 6x9' softbox on the left, the fill: a 6' white umbrella next to the camera, 1:2 ratio to the main, and a 5' tall strip on the right, which was there mainly to light the string. The light from it bounced from a rod prepping the grand piano lid (I am sure, it has its name unknown to me) and lit the string. On a 100% close-up you can see that the string is vibrating. The shutter speed was slow enough to let ambient light fill the room. I hate those new energy efficient bulbs, but this time they did well in terms of adding a nasty color castIrakly, Great! :thumbs:
Tell us how you pulled this off with lighting.

Great job man. Both lighting and propping.here is another 4 light setup the main light is a Profoto Magnum reflector outside the window and up high, the city scape straight head, the chair and fruit are lit by a grided spot, the whole set is filled with a Broncolor 220 slightly left of camera
Is that what they are? I didn't have a clue!LOL
Love those vacuum glasses.
old remedy for whatever ailed you.
Irakly, welcome back.

Yeah, that would be great David ... and post a shot of Fresnel unit itself ... 18" is pretty good sized. Do you use a strobe head in it or is it self contained? If a strobe head, which one?Marc,
I added a Larson 18" Fresnel to my modifiers. It's all set-up and ready to test, but probably won't get to it for a few weeks. I just love the way the light falls of with these things, just have to see if I can get the results I want. I'll let you know how it goes.
ARRRRRGH!Sorry I forgot to mention that i have owned these Multiblitz units for years, I pretty sure they were discontinued quite a while ago, these days we are buying some Profoto ones
Marc,Yeah, that would be great David ... and post a shot of Fresnel unit itself ... 18" is pretty good sized. Do you use a strobe head in it or is it self contained? If a strobe head, which one?
After seeing these in action and discussing them, it looks to be a worthwhile addition to the lighting kit. I looked on the Mutiblitz sight, but I can't tell if they are just for their heads, or if they can be adapted to my Profotos. The Profoto ones are a LOT more expensive ... especially the one I like (of course

Update, went to the Larson site and those look pretty good ... they are a bit skimpy on the details ... can't figure out how to use them with the Profoto heads, but I'm sure there's a way. I wonder how small the beam can get with the 18" version (which is a 14" lens) ... have you tried that from say 5' away from subject David? Did you get the barn doors also?
