Dual Strobe Positioning

2 posts
  1. Well, this is a definite "how to" question. I see beautiful portrait shots all the time in magazines, books, even here, but I have never seen a picture, or live person for that matter, of anyone actually taking a verticle! :)

     

    I just finally bit the bullet and bought my first S&S DSLR set up with dual YS-110's. Could someone share their experiences with strobe positioning for either wide angle portraits or even macro portraits. A picture is worth a thousand words or so they say. Maybe even a picture of your set up ready for a vert. shot or a picture of somone else doing the deed!

     

    My fragile little mind is about to explode with the pain of moving those huge arms every time I see the perfect pose. :lol:

     

    Thanks! You guy are always a big help.

  2. Pat, if you are using 2 articulated arms per side, then it's a piece a cake. While you've got your camera turned for a vertical, Just set the strobes to the sides (so they are not top and bottom).

     

    A picture would be easier to explain (maybe one of the other users has a shot of someone with their strobes setup this way).
