Well, inspired by the one and only Joel Grimes and his latest series on [Framed] called Lit-Up, I’ve gone and invested in a small Cowboystudio 16in Beauty Dish to try some new lighting ideas.  For $50, how can you go wrong?  It comes with the mounting bracket (not great, but does the job), the 16″ dish and sock.  I’ve only had the chance to do a few shots with my son so far, but I am loving the dramatic light it casts.  No other lights are being used here.  I plan to play a bunch with this, to really figure out what kind of light is cast at what power and what distance.  The episode on [Framed] that inspired the shots below (and the purchase of the dish) is here.  I’ll be sure to tell you more as I play.

    Thank you for providing so good information about the 16 inches beauty dish. Your experiments with light are some of the best I have seen and I hope to learn more from you. Do you offer me classes?
