Tried some top downs...

Poseidon · Nov 24, 2008

Well.... I couldn't make the fixture, and then NOT take any top down images! How do you guys like my first attempt?

????????

LOL!!!

Luckily, I am a fast learner!

Hey, look there are Zoa's back there!

So what do you think?

good stuff mike.

Ill have to come by with my top down box and sigma 10-20mm.

I think you could get some wicked cool shots.

BTW, can you fry an egg on the top of that canopy? is it working like a heat sync like you were hoping?

Thanks Jr! Yes, you will have to come by with that box, did you buy one, or build it?

Nope, no egg frying on the fixture, it is barely warm above the 430, and the 660 is warmer, but certainly not hot. The bulbs are hot on the end, but the reflectors are cool in the center. I need to direct the airflow a little, I have been talking with Grim over on RC about some additional cooling.
