Using a set of Honl Photo flash modifiers, professional Photographer Adam Duckworth leads us through and impromptu portrait shoot in the corridors at the basement of the Practical Photography offices. Armed with just a pair of wireless SB-800 flashguns on
stands, he tests the grids (honeycombs), snoots and gels of this great value starter kit from www.flaghead.co.uk. Typical hotshoe mounted flashguns can can create harsh unflattering results, but these modifiers can allow you to soften and direct the light for amazing professional results. The entire set cost just £82.25 too – click here for more.

Here is a test of Honl Photo Spee Grid. 1/8" grid covers 24-25 degree angle of view.

Great vid. i love playing around with off camera flash. Instead of buying gels i just use the clear celophane wrappers from quality streets. they're not as acurate when trying to match ambiant light but cast great colours onto both the subject and background.

A very good video with some great tips, it shows the effects that can be achieved with relatively standard equipment. I've got to agree with snapper... £82 is an extortionate amount of cash for a kit that would cost less than £20 to put together with items from the local art shop. Gels are about 90p each for an A4 sheet and a box of sticky velcro tabs can be purchased for a few quid, for example.

An interesting video. Agree with Kevin that more camera settings (and the reason behind them) would have been useful. Also, £82 sounds a lot for some kit that could have been put together for a couple of quid at home in an afternoon. Perhaps not as "perfect" for the job, but still OK.
