I bought an interfit stellar x indoor kit 2nd hand a year ago off e-bay for £270(was excellent value). It has 2 600w units, and has been great for what i wanted. As i now want to use them outdoors on location i've had to buy an innovatronix inverter battery pack for £320 which i'm awaiting...

Thanks, i'll bear that in mind as i use a sometimes use my 580EX (never tried using it with a high speed sync yet), but most of the time i'll be using flash heads with a max sync speed of 1/250.

Thanks Rick and looks like you've been posting a few on here Dave, see you on Thursday!

I spend a lot of time deciding what equipment to purchase and where to purchase it from because i have to shed a lot of sweat to earn my money, especially in these times. But it's a fact that a hell of a lot of people in this country are rich and it's just not worth their time researching to...

My portraits moved to a new level after purchasing my 1st reflector which allowed me to shoot backlit portraits using natural light and exposing the face with reflected light. I find particularly in delicate light conditions it's my favourite technique and much less harsh than using fill flash.

Hello everybody, this appears to be a bit of a formality, but why not eh! I'm into most types of photography including wildlife, landscape, portraits and abstract. This site seems a good one so i thought i'd join and see whats happening!

No 2 The bokeh wash is a great shot, beautiful colour harmony!
