<p>I have a 92% transparency straw gel. How would I be able to color my model without the gel being washed out flash?<br> Much denser gels are easy (10% transparency and lower), but what about those that are less dense?</p> <p>Im using Olympus FL-50R flash<br> Rosco Gels</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all answers,<br> Kevin.</p>

<p>How do I light a gentleman with a bald head? I need to make a business headshot for a CEO.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all answers.</p> <p>Kevin</p>

<p>I have a BN-1 Ni MH battery pack (for the SHV-1 battery pack), that does not hold a charge. Is there any way the cell can be reconditioned?</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all answers,<br> Kevin</p>

<p>I have a friend that is setting up a home studio. She is a stay home mom, and her funds are limited. She wants to invest in a Einstein Strobe. She currently has a Nikon SB-700. Would it make sense (at this time) to invest in a second speedlight (like another, preowned, sb-700), which would be less expensive, and more portable? She is doing newborn and family portraiture.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all answers,</p> <p>Kevin.</p>

<p>@ Michael They are flat pieces, ranging from 9 x 12 to 30 x 36 inches. I can try your ideas, but where should I place my camera? Straight on perpendicular to the artwork? Or off to the side (where I would have to use PS for perspective correction...ugh) BTW Mike I`m on Long Island..Hi neighbor!</p> <p>@Tom That`s an interesting idea Tom. Thanks. And I would be using a large light source too, I take it. I do have a Westcott Apollo softbox.<br> @Charles..ahhh the angle of reflection principle..Yes I`m using off camera flash, and though I love to shoot through panels, her living room may not be large enough for that. So I will go with the Apollo, and see what happens.</p> <p>Once again thank you guys so much.</p>

<p>A friend of mine needs some high res photos of her mosaic work. These are reflective surfaces, and was wondering how to shoot them so A) I wont cast reflection in the tiles B) what angle should I place the camera (would it work if I shot the art piece straight on?) C) what lighting setup should I use. I`m open to any and all suggestions.<br> Thank you in advance for your help.</p> <p>Kevin</p>
