Was asked to shoot for a friend's tango group today. First chance to really give a 3 light setup and the newly acquired kit a run. All I can say is that it was well worth spending the $$ as it all worked flawlessly. Here are 3 from today.     If anyone's interested, the lighting the diagram can be found here. The lights were set up and I floated around the perimeter of the dance floor. That sort of approach made it far easier to capture than setting up set poses, etc as I have no idea about the dance steps, etc. Hope the diagram helps. Oh and camera settings were pretty much f8, iso 320 and shutter speed varied from 1/30 to 1/200 depending on whether or not I wanted to capture movement with a slight blur or freeze it.

I really like #2. It gives a lovely moody feel that really suits the dance. But maybe clone out the lamp and other stuff down the RHS. I hesitate to say crop as I feel it may end up unbalanced that way.

Hey Piro, I like the mood you captured, the fact that you used 3 lights doesn't even show. I don't recall if you're a Canon or Nikon shooter, not that it makes a difference, just asking b/c you have a 580EX and an SB800 in your diagram. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Thanks guys. myarhidia wrote:I don't recall if you're a Canon or Nikon shooter, not that it makes a difference, just asking b/c you have a 580EX and an SB800 in your diagram.
I'm using a Canon and was previously using Nikon. Due to technical limitations awhile ago, I had to make the switch to Canon though it's been a lesson learnt. The lights were triggered using a 3rd party wireless trigger set (ie. Non canon or Nikon). When I set up the lights, I decided to manually set them to 1/4 or 1/8 power so I could have the option to frame burst if I wanted to, then look a lighting test using the Minolta flashmeter. This allowed me to keep my settings consistent throughout the time. If I had set the lighting on full power or 1/2 power even, there was a potential that I could miss a shot by having to wait for the speedlights to recharge. Overall, setting up took about 15 minutes and breaking it down took another 15 minutes.
