Smokey Red Headlamps - a photo on Flickriver

Smokey Red Headlamps

            Strobist Info: Nikon SB-24 behind left head (1/4 power), Vivitar 285 behind right head (1/2 power), Energizer LED head lamps on each guy's head. Using poverty wizards (Cactus V2) on both flashes.

I had an idea to get a picture for a parody my class is putting together of various happenings over the past school year. One of those events was a power outage caused by a bit of wind one day.

During that power outage, many of us decided to go and purchase flashlights; two guys I went to the store with bought really bright headlamps (brighter than my regular Mag light!), and those headlamps have red LEDs as well. So they walked around the halls with the red LEDs on for a while...

Anyways, I wanted to get a picture for our parody skit that showed some drama with those headlamps featured. I thought I could get some smoke in the picture and make two beams of red light coming from the headlamps... but I ran into some problems; I could get the flashes to look pretty good in the smoke, but I couldn't get the red beams of light. Oh, well... maybe next time!
