    Default Two Speedlight Clam shell lighting Portrait



    Decided to try and work on my portrait techinque after work this evening, as I haven't had much opportunity as of late to practice.

    This set up used a Nikon 60mm marco lens, two Sigma 530 Super DG speedlights with Micro Apollo softboxes. Main was set at 1/16th power and the bottom one was set to 1/64th and fired with two Cactus V4 wireless triggers

    I haven't really made an investment in any decent lighting gear...looks like your investment is paying off. Nice shot.
