- The principal source of light will be Speedlites. I figure we can do that in here, and it might be a good way to work. We've got a Lastlight Octa up there, with two Speedlites in it. It's also, as you can see, it's got an egg crate, because I want the light to be pretty controlled. There is always a backup position for this, as always has to be. I might go with a softer light, depending on how this looks for her, but I think it'll be okay. The fills are basically footlights, simulating stage lights. Silver on the floor, I'm going to bang two small flashes. They'll be in the same group, same level, equidistant on either side. Again, imagine a dancer onstage, and there's footlights all across the front of the stage. So, I've got this here, to simulate that effect and feel. So it should be a little bit quote-unquote glamorous. What we do with our bounces is we, when we're using Speedlites, we take the dome diffusers off, and zoom the Speedlite heads to, you know, 50, 70, 85, somewhere…
