Another awesome video! Terrific set of shots! I absolutely love what you are doing with the Quadras. I myself just purchased an Elinchrom system and am very excited to get it out and set up.
Keep up the excellent work, man. Looking forward to seeing your next video!

Thank you, Matt!
You bought the Quadra? Man, this will change your way of photography and was the best decision you could made
Have fun with it, I’m dying to see some pics at flickr!
Stefan:
Actually bought the Ranger! Very excited. You need to hop a flight with your gear to Boston, MA so that we can put together a nice big shoot “American” style.
Again, love your work and really looking forward to your next video!
Yeah, that would be great! I already wanted to visit Boston, loved what I saw at pictures! Just have to improve my english a little bit more
Hi Stefan
When you use your Ranger Quadra’s you always say that first you take a shot in Aperture Priority mode at the aperture you want to use then put those settings into manual. My questions is what do you then set the Quadra’s at, the same or different? to achieve that darker background
Hi Richard,
first you have to think about how the Quadra should act: As the mainlight with a few ambient light or as a fill light with ambient light as the main light source.
The Quadra (or whatever u use as flash light) should set to a power that lights the subject right, whatever variation u want to use. When u set the light and the fixed aperture in manual mode just make the shutter time longer to control how much ambient light will flood your image.
Remember: The aperture controls the amount of flashlight, the shutter controls the amount of ambient light!
That will do the trick!
