USAF C130J

A visit to Cad East yesterday, started off poor, got slightly better, 3 passes of this USAF C130J Herc, then the weather completely closed in around Midday, couldn't see the road even from half way up the Fence, so gave up and went down the Cross Foxes for lunch.

All K1 plus Sigma 100 - 300mm F4 @ 100mm 1/60th F10 ( except the head on shot @ 300mm and cropped )

Morning Nigel,

I don't have any images of them in use unfortunately and generally its been with studio flash rather than speedlights, but the principals the same, just to mask off stray light or use to absorb additional light not requitre.

The last time I used them, was on the Strawberry images shots a month or so ago and posted on here, which I think you commented on.

The other thing to do Nigel is to start playing with flags, I use sheets of Polystyrene sheeting, painted matt black one side and left white the other, then they can be used as a soft reflector of a flag depending on what's required, plus they are lightweight and fairly cheap, then stored in the garage roof when not needed.

Superbly shot.

Hi Stuart

Thanks, no problem, I don't see the point of replacing something for the sake of it, if it aint broke............

Going a bit off topic here.. But could I ask you Chris what you use to trigger them with ?
Hi Stub - Yes, I actually use fairly cheap Chinese triggers, sourced from " Link Delight " about £12ea off my head, and they've done me superb service for over 7 years, I do have 6 of them, all on the same settings as I generally use 4 lights, 2 on the BG and 2 on the model with 2 spares if need be.
