Strobist info:
Canon 580EXII in a 80x60 Gridded Softbox - Camera Right. I have tried to make it even more narrow, so I can use it as a strip box (more in the lighting section below), with a Pocket Wizard Plus II;

Nikon SB-26 in a 90x20 Gridded Softbox - Camera Left, with a Pocket Wizard Plus II;

Both of the flashes are triggered by a Phottix Atlas Trigger on the camera body (compatible with the pocket wizards)

Dancing Queen

Some words about the lighting, I'm not using any main light in this shoot, all I have is the two strip lights at both sides, set at about the same power. From the left side I'm having a nikon SB-26 with a 90x20 gridded softbox, and since I wanted to have the same thing from the right side, but I have only one strip light, I had to addapt my 80x60 Softbox with a couple of bungee cords, and make it narrower, which was a pretty easy thing to do, and I still do it when I go on some locations! So here I am shooting with 2 strip lights, and 2 flashes... Lighting setup & settings info: CLICK HERE! to see the full article!
