I'm planning on experimenting this week with the LED light cans, so i'll let you see results as soon as I have done so! btw Garry.... I've just bought a Lencarta 3 Head Set off ebay for my "portable" kit!!! Saw you put your name by it. Oh and nice vid!

Looks Like I am going to have to experiment a bit!!! I'll see about posting the test shots (maybe with a model) when i've done them!

Hi Garry, Thanks for that! Good advice about a grey background too - didn't even think about that! Do you think I should have a backlight on the background at all??? Or just use the cans for background illumination, take a meter reading and set the softbox flash head to 2:1????? (my head...

Hi There, I have this idea but I am not sure if it's possible. So... comments please :D I have aquired some 16 million colour LED light cans (designed for use in discos etc). Using a DMX controller I can get pretty much any desired colour. They are pretty strong but being LED they are...

I use the Proline Studio Large Camera bag. I've just found they've stopped making it and as a discontinued item it is VERY hard to get hold of. Would love to buy a second one. It is easily the biggest bag i've ever owned. I may have to look at getting the Lowepro Commercial (it's smaller...

Cool. Enjoy the 50D. I bought one as my backup camera to replace my long long suffering 300D << yes I really did have that has a backup camera. LOL

Hi Stuart. I went a little while talking with people that would put down Sigma lenses. I'm not gonna do that. I own multiple L series canon lenses but if you are looking for affordabale glass with good results Sigma (imho) deliver. You can never have too much glass. EVER! But as you've got the...

I think everyone is in agreement it depends on the situation. Until recently if I took a low-light photo that was blurry I'd disgard it. I was then looking at the work of Canon Professional Ziv Koren who is a combat photographer. A lot of his low-light work is not only very high in noise (even...

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone. You can call me whatever you like. Maxam Photography is my company name... Most people call me Goose though! I've just got back from Christmas at my mums. I got the usual abundance of stuff no one on earth actually wants but also got a lovely...
