newbie question here, what brand of softbox would be nice and dimensions, anyone who could enlighten me on this one would be greatly appreciated,

@nin's

what kind of softbox did you use for the workshop in Davao, yung dalawang malalaki nakita ko sa FPS forums . . .

Chimera and Photoflex are standards. Dimension is relative to the task.

ah ok sige will look into these, thanks sir Nick

Niko: Jun Lee's Aurora softboxes. PM the guy if you need some.

how big were they? yung ginamit niyo sa workshop?

90x120 (I think)

ah ok . . . thanks :)

The nice thing about the softboxes being sold by Aperture is that they use fit almost any brand of studio strobe. You just have to purchase the appropriate mount.

wala ako pera eh . . . kaya DIY na lang . . . all for under $100 hehehe

nice setup sir niko...

what kind of bulbs did you use for those floodlights??

Nice set-up niko! Where did you get the white fabric?

@Kix

the bulbs are regular 500W halogen bulbs on each stand so basically i have a 2000w output with 4 lamps, you can easily find them at hardware stores like Ace

@Louie

the fabric is called "ripstop nylon" it has small lines that form grids, try your local fabric store

thanks for the appreciation, i really have no budget to get real equipment so im improvising :)

thanks sir niko...

thinking of getting those found at ACE or Handyman...

I forgot where I found the link on the web that uses a different kind of bulbs on those floodlight setup...

yup . . . pwede na yung mga ganun the total cost of my set up with everything including the lights was $100 or roughly about 5,000 pesos, well worth it and a whole lot cheaper than buying the real thing :)

Thanks for the info Niko, last inquiry....does walmart has this ripstop nylon? what is the generic name of this nylon? hehehehe

I already bought worklights at home depot for $5.00/pc and it really worked. I'm still working on my reflectors and softbox. I want to try the way you have set up your studio.
I have saved a lot of money and it works, thanks to you!!! :Grin:
