With my lights the subjects would have a shocked expression on the second frame if I used paper - it would burst into flames (it's 2000 watts). :-)<BR/>My snoot is a heavy aluminum tube. I've seen other shooters paint small coffee cans black and use them on smaller systems for the same effect.Mark M.

SportsShooter.com has put together a fun presentation of "chimpers" in their natural habitat .... http://www.sportsshooter.com/special_feature/chimping/CarmenSissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642915514259103955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-1116071340187322272005-05-14T06:49:00.000-05:002005-05-14T06:49:00.000-05:00To get this lighting effect, you snoot your strobe...To get this lighting effect, you snoot your strobe and set it high and close to the subject. Light stands need to be 8 to 12-feet high. Because the light is directional while snooted, those areas not lit go dark. There's some light spillover to smooth the edge.<BR/>The dark areas are made by controlling the synch speed. Since I used The Beast and shot at f/22, the synch speed isn't an issue at Mark M.

I am afraid lighting is not my strong suit, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.<BR/><BR/>Oh...and cutouts....grrr. The bane of every PJ's existence.

The original assignment was to shoot them in front of a white wall so they could be cut out. They liked this idea better. :-)Mark M.
