Those are the main three. Srs bsns photographers use larger diffusers that have a gel frame on the front surface, and then use whatever color and density gel they want (1/2 and 1/4 CTO gels are popular.) I considered going that route (and may end up doing it yet) but I don't really any anything that big, ungainly and fragile inside the chaotic environment of a nightclub. I've got a long-ish post about strobes I've been meaning to write in the Photography thread, but I haven't quite gotten around to it.

3x diffuser domes for my 580EX speedlite. I'm probably going to end up buying a few more + remote cord before the week is out. I also need a timer remote.

Welcome to Head-Case, beware of the FWIR. :basement::basement::basement::basement:

I like the view-through-the-columns shot, Salty. I might try it at -1/3 or -2/3 EV, however. The columns themselves wouldn't suffer from being darker, and you'd get more detail on the building behind. I went and saw a local 2-piece band last Thursday. The shots of them weren't very interesting, but afterward I took a few pix of my friend Alyssa outside the bar. 17-40L @ 23mm, F/4, 1/30th, ISO1250. 30D's white balance was set to fluorescent. No edits at all.

Bonus Stupid:

Those early prototype stats weren't very practical.

Uh-oh. The Vikings are invading.

Reading comprehension fail on my part. I didn't parse that you already owned all of the abovementioned glass (hey, I was in a nightclub at the time.) In that case, maybe it is a good idea to lug the 100-400L, so you can get a chance to put it through its paces.

Doing lights in the biggest club in NoHo, which is a lot less exciting than it sounds. It's not even 11:30 and the dnb DJs are slinging the temper tantrum techstep like it's going out of style (which hopefully it is.) There was an MC in here, who was so bad I was seriously considering putting my lighting rig on autopilot and going out to smoke a backwoods. In fact, I think I might do that anyway.... As an aside, when I smoke Backwords cigars at events that attract WASPafarians and other would-be Rastas, I invariably get questioned "Is that a blunt" or "yo, let me get a hit." One of these days, I'm going actually let them do that and watch the coughing fit ensue.

There are a few remotely danceable tracks on Selected Ambient Works: 85-92 (henceforth referred to as "SAW8592") and when it came it out, "Digeridoo" was something of an underground dancefloor anthem. That's no mean feat as the track is 150BPM. As I said before, "IDM" is more than a bit of a misnomer, and the meaning of the term has changed significantly over the years. RDJ's label (Rephlex) has never endorsed the name "IDM." They prefer the eyeroll-inducing "Braindance" instead.
