Shot 7d
This is the same shot as 7c but the I added an 8" Honl Snoot without changing any settings to test the theory that a snoot won't change the amount of light just the coverage:
1) camera right, using a reflective umbrella @1/8 power and @50mm zoom.
2) camera left, bare light @1/32 and @14mm zoom with an 8" Honl Snoot.
You can see that the background is much darker than 7c, due to the snoot and the narrower angle of light, but I am lit pretty much the same as in 7c.
I feel that this would be a good starting point for a shoot.
