Ooo great idea, thanks so much - will have a look there! :)

I do have a roof rack on my Astra - good thinking! So do you have a length of pipe permanently fixed on the rack? How does that work? :)

Thank you - I'm still wavering as to whether I should try and get a hilite and just carry on dealing with the width issue... I have had groups of 8 teenage girls in the past for party shoots...! The only other thing then is that I will probs need a 4th light... Decisions, decisions!! :(

Lencarta lighting even, doh, late night posting...! :)

Hi all I'm a mobile portrait photographer and currently using a pop up backdrop with train which is working ok for me. I have 3x lastolite 200w lights - 2 with soft boxes for lighting subjects, 1 with brolly for lightening backdrop. I'm looking in to buying a roll of vinyl for various reasons -...

Are you using a tripod?

Hi there This is probably a really obvious one, or I'm being a bit thick, but here goes . . . I used to have a Canon EOS 350D, and used to download the images via Kodak Easyshare (as I had a Kodak camera too, and it was just easier). It worked fine, and all my images downloaded to my Mac...

Cool, thanks everyone! Have managed to log on through a PC and order for free home delivery - think it was a Mac issue with their website :) All excited now! And what's even better is that my Dad has offered to buy my old camera off me, so job's a good-un!

Have tried ordering, but it is out of stock at the two most local stores to me (both 13 miles away) and can't seem to order it for delivery :( Grrr . . . may try calling them tomorrow! Wish me luck . . . it's a bargain!

Ooo - thanks for the heads up . . . I've got an Eos 350D at the mo, and was thinking of a little upgrade, so may well go for this! Just a shame that our local Comet has recently shut down . . . :( :thumbs:

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice - I'm thinking of just going for it and seeing how it goes with the pricier route. Like you say, otherwise I'll probably only end up needing to upgrade not too far along the line. Will let you know how I get on! Thanks - Bex :)

Thanks so much everyone, I will have a good look at all of these and see what I reckon! Just one other quick query . . . which option is the best storage-wise? I'm guessing brollies, but just wondered how much space softboxes take up? Seriously considering the more expensive route - I'm sure...

Hi there I'm a newbie to this site, but was hoping that someone might be able to give me some advice re lighting for home portraits . . . I have a Canon Eos 350D which I've been using for a looong time, along with a tripod, and a popup white/black backdrop with train (recently bought 2nd...
