The Opilion

Post by Yawns »

I keep developing the idea of having a sigle cage allowing a variety of lighting setups.. and also nocturnal photos ..
see previous post
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... highlight=

New version baptized it "The Opilion" .. very simple aluminium elements done in the garage with a saw and a drill... and a few flash ball heads

some examples of possible setups and a couple of very recent photos

the frame wights 440 grams.. that's the weight of a flashgun with batteries

the fourth one is pretty similar to a beauty dish used in portrait photography :-)

Yep.. but works quite well.. I copied the design from a friend... but he uses a metal bowl...

either way, it works similarly, it is called "beauty dish" for a reason :-)
