I used to use InstaMapper and it's good, but now I use Glympse, very good as well.

Well, like he said, the good news is that they work pretty well and are cheap in relation to other stuff out there. Really you could use anything, I don't know what you have for gear, but all I have is those two 800's and a couple 580EX II. You could get by doing it with 400s turned up higher.

I'll have to check out the barn doors... hadn't picked those up yet. Very cool you had all the same equipment. That was my only complaint... if I don't have Alien Bees what else could I use to blow out the background. I tried a variety of other light modifiers but don't have anything strong enough. Guess I gotta save my pennies. :-)

The plexiglass I got a while ago on a tip from Scott Kelby, so I luckily had it around. I got the bifold doors at a Menard's. It is a store like a Home Depot or Lowe's. I got two 36 inch ones and they were only like $27 each. Good deal for nice sturdy light modifiers! I am using AlienBees. I used 2 800s to blow out the background and a very small portable softbox on a hot shoe flash on camera right and then a 42 inch silver reflector on the left to light the flowers. That was one thing I really liked about the work shop. It was like Zack was teaching me how to use my equipment, because I use the exact same AlienBees (I have two 800s, but I need a 1600 yet), the exact same 5D Mark II and the same lenses he was using. It was great!

Very cool. I don't have the plexiglass, but I do have two pieces of the tileboard. Where did you pick up your bifold doors? Are you using AlienBees to blow out the back?

Thanks! I actually used a piece of clear plexiglass on a white bench to get the reflection. I went out and bought some bifold doors for modifiers tonight and used those to help blow out the background, but I haven't been able to get the tile board yet. :) I did do a version with the white seamless lit to a nice medium gray and it was super cool that I could do it, but I think the flowers looked better on white. Much more of a fresh feeling to the image.

Nicely done Adam. Gotta love that white seamless. Your reflection is pretty sweet too. Congrats on your 7 year anniversary!

I read the same book by Scott. That is the effect I was looking for, but I don't have any strip light boxes yet. :) I am going to be ordering a couple when I get a little extra money.

The light boxes flanking the subject is a nice touch. I saw that technique in one of Scott Kelby's books only he used strip style lighting.Good choice of whine btw.

Thanks! I did use Topaz Adjust 4 to bring out the details a bit, but that is pretty much 99% what I saw over the house across the street from me.

It is probably the same as living anywhere that has earthquakes or hurricanes. Just something different to deal with. I live in Wisconsin, and we get them every once in a while, but nothing like further south where all the storm chasers go to find tornados. This one was just really odd that there was no rain or anything before. Just instant really severe storm. There was a report last night on the news of a house that got tipped over, but I think that was the worst damage and no one was hurt, so that is the most important thing.
