Outdoor Studio Portrait Setup

chobit

I setup a outdoor shooting session with a model today.  The income are pretty decent.., but since I just got home for 1/2 hr only...!  I"ll just put a couple of shots for now.. then and will post more later today or tomorrow..!

The setup is a mix of 2 580ex II with or without umberlla on ST-E2 with Radiopopper PX.

I have other shots that are done with reflectors as well.

And here is a few more pics!

wowowo.. your photos are good
i don't have much knowledge about Radiopopper
why/how do you work with ST-E2 and Radiopopper PX together?

chobit

I tried the Pocket Wizard ones which has tons of problems...!  Then I came across this Radiopopper which is also a Wireless TTL Trigger.  It convert the infrared to wireless on your master flash or ST-E2, then the slave radiopopper re-convert the wireless signal to infrared and feed it to the slave unit!  It doesn't work 100% consistace and reliable today for my shoot...!

Thanks for enjoying my photos...!  I did have lots of fun!!!

how bad is it if you only use st-e2?

wow, beautiful pictures

Not so good unless you are indoor.

Outdoor when you have bright sun light, then No usable distance.

The 580ex II is suppose to have better infrared than the ST-E2, but I have not tried.

I didn't, but my friend may have something...!  I'll find out...!  but the setup was actually constantly changing, because the sun is moving.. and location is changing..!  So, very diff. than a studio setup where very little is needed to change most of the time..!

The shots by the fence was done when the sun was high up.  It's was actually very difficult situation, since the flash simply couldn't over power the sun in most cases..!  So, I was using reflectors to help my situation.

The one on the tree is mostly done with 2 light setup, and the light from the sun which is leak through the gap on the top left hand side to produce some head/hair light.

The shots by the water are done with simple 2 light setup, and it was late enough that there was very little direct sun.

I can quite tell you much on the ratio, since I change it constantly.

One of the setup is to use ST-E2 with the 2 580EX II as GRP A / B, and Group A are use more for main light with umberlla, and Group B as fill.  But again, that only 1 example!!
