Help me find a thread please

[Haynie]

More than a few years ago someone posted a thread in the pen photography section. The OP linked a tutorial on a set up that popped a flash under some translucent plexiglass and balanced it with an on camera flash. It really had nothing to do with pen photography but the video showed the guy doing this with fruit and veggies.

I can't find it anywhere. I'm driving myself nuts. Please help.:hypnotized:

Do you remember any keywords from the thread title or body of the post? Our Google site search (bottom pick on the search menu) should help.

Here is what the error note says

Your current browser or device does NOT support html5 video and Adobe Flash player, you can either use another browser or download this video here: MP4

The MP4 link goes to a 404 page.

Does this mean the video is lost forever? It explained something I am having trouble working out consistently. the balancing of the two flashes.

Didn't someone here on IAP do something similar with just a bright light instead of the flash? It looks cool, but I seem to remember a pen in the photos, and without having to use strobes.

I know someone was using their iPad as a bottom light at some point.

I will be doing this for another project and need the strobes.

Strobes

I know someone was using their iPad as a bottom light at some point.

I will be doing this for another project and need the strobes.

I bought my strobes used out of the for sale section of a photography forum called photography on the net.
Here is a link to there for sale section .
Classifieds: For Sale, photography-on-the.net Digital Photography Forums

I have one ex580 off or on shoe speed lite
one A/B 1600 strobe and one white lightening 1500 strobe.
I bought these all used and out of the photography forum.
I call the forum P O T N short for photography on the net
I also bought about 15k in other gear off of this forum too.
All transactions when smooth...............
Pick up my soft boxes from Paul C Buff and HD light stands and Wescott boom from B&H photo out of NYC.
This lighting set ran about 700.00 to 750.00 with out the wireless triggers.
Add about 175.00 $ to fire the strobe wireless.

I have heard good things about this brand of on/off shoe flash units or speed lite.
