Gary what a exciting year you've had hope it continuous really like your web site.

What part of Grimsby do you live I use to live on Laceby Road and often went to Freeman's Market and the ABC Cinema at the side of the market.
Even went to school for a Year or Two.

Just an example of what you can do with a speedlight and a softbox



The client was booked in and arrived on time (just as my cheep trigger from ebay stopped working) I did have this trigger for over two years.

So had to think fast

I decided to use my speedlight for the client and the studio strobes to light the b-ground as I had my flash trigger in my camera bag.

little under powered and had to wait for the speedlight to charge but I did get away with it.

Ps
This shoot, the boy was dancing to music

Dear Steve
For Lighting in a studio I think this book will have all you need to get a good start (remember you can mount your flash on stands)

Lighting For Portrait Photography By Steve Bavister (revised edition)

all the best

Your goal’s and wish list for twenty ten (2010)

Write down a goal or as many goals as you wish for 2010
In a place where you can see it every day

On your monitor or on your laptop
In your car
A note in your camera bag
Next to the coffee, kettle or mugs (cups)


If you want a new camera or lens (mine will be Pentax 645D)
Secondly strive to reach that goal every day.

YOU WILL BE SURPRISED BY THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT.

My wish list for 2010 is as follows

New monitor
Two new flash heads (strobes for the studio)
Pentax fish eye (10-17mm I think this focal length is correct)


Pentax 645D

New printer Epson R1900 I all ready have a Epson R1800 (But it clogs up to often)
I think that will do for this year

Go on commit your goals and wish list to paper and lets see if we can achieve them.

All the best for the New Year

James

And a happy new year to one and all

I believe the DA-L means Light weight
