Brian,
It was nice meeting you at the Sony booth on Thursday. (Very cool seeing the 50/1.1 on the NEX). And great seeing those huge prints of your work !

During the shoot of the two dancers on Friday @ about 2:30, what was that light you were using? Very nice!!
Thanks, Bob
We shot the dancers using K5600 HMIs. We used the crossover adapters on them so that we could use the same Profoto lighting modifiers that I normally use with strobe.
Thanks Brian, so which modifier model was that one you used ” the round one” I loved the eveness of the lighting.
Bob,
We switched between two different light modifiers. The more even lighting was from a White Profoto Beauty Dish which gives a beautiful even light. We switched over to a Silver Profoto Beauty Dish with the light in exactly the same spot for a more focused burst of light and then finally added a honeycomb grid to the silver dish to focus the light to a spot.
