Jay P. Morgan on Feathering Grids
Using a KESSLER slider and a TAMRON lens and a DYNALITE flash and some NIK software, human Nascar* Jay P. Morgan will now give you some pretty darn good advice on grid spots.
But the real gem here is the feathering, which will almost always make your light more interesting.

Thanks for sharing David. This is one of the areas where I struggled re: center of the grid but the notion of the feathering the light is just perfect and opens up a whole bucket of creativity uses.
For speedlights ie. SB-800 do you have any recommendations for similar grids setups.
Gracias,
George
Hahahaha, "human Nascar"! I chuckled in agreement.
I went out to a local restaurant noticed that the bar had small diameter straws and the side I sat in had larger diameter. I told the waitress that she would get an fantastic tip if she provided me with a obscene amount of straws.
She did I gave her a 50.00 tip on a 30 dollar tab.
I used the straws in different lengths to make what I needed.
I used chloroplast to make a mount and fashioned tabs that attached to my sb 800's with velcro for a variety of pool size.
I wish I could post photos but it was all lost in a fire.
Easy , cheap and reliable.
Give it a shot
I thought he was going to get hit by a car when he went down the driveway on his bike....lol
Nice. Am I crazy? I thought NYC was militant on that whole no tripod (and, presumably, no flash-stand) thing. Especially without permit.
I use Rogue grids. they give you some option on the grid size and work great on speedlights.
Like the "white" background look of the new blog. Miss the links and ads tho...like to Amazon
@Deb-
That's because you are viewing the mobile version, most likely. On a phone or 'pod, that is the default. On tablet, laptop or desktop, the default is to the original template.
JS-You're not crazy. NYC requires a permit if you're using a tripod/lightstand. I don't know how he got away with that on Wall street. It's teaming with cops. Permits are free. I've had issues when I didn't have a permit, especially in the parks.
Permits in NYC nowadays cost $300 and require proof of insurance. You do get a pass on tripods and monopods because they are considered "handheld." Go figure.
