    Photo Prog on Channel 4

    I got the feeling they weren't after real talent - but people with "interest" Thats the problem with a lot of these "talent" programs, it doesn't matter how good you are, its how good you are at getting "noticed". In this case your photo's may have been superb but unless it jumped off the page...

    Another home made Lightbox

    I'll sort some out tomorrow ;) i had not noticed any delay with the bulbs but they tend to have been on for a least five minutes before I start shooting. Because they run cool it doesnt matter how long they are on for. and even tho they are equivalent to 400w they run at 85w so no huge power...
