❤️❤️ Broncolor selected this studio shot (reposted below) for inclusion in their Para brochure . The young model was excited to be published in Broncolors brochure. It was her first time being published. The brochure shows the work of 18 photographers from around the world. …and motivating for...

I have a Minolta 3400HS flashgun (speedlight) for a Dynax (Maxxum) 7000i camera. Is there any way way that I can use this, as I no longer have that camera. I have not come across a suitable adaptor to another system, although I am still looking! Afterthought, is the pin layout anything like...

Sean Tucker on reproducing the portrait style of Martin Schoeller. A nice technical video on lighting with links to his PS techniques, which I plan to watch tomorrow. I found this very interesting but your mileage may vary.

No…. Not Peter

For headshots, keep it simple…

She told me this makes it look like she works out. It’s the parabolic modifier that gives a contouring look on her.

Para 133 placed inches from model. Just barely off camera. Quite a versatile modifier & a fan blowing the hair a bit.

kind of a simple, neat trick.

Parabolic 133cm umbrella above camera

Take your time and get it right… Large umbrella camera left, gridded Striplights in back for rim light, gridded light from above as hair light.

I knew I had taken these photos on the same day, but I thought it was the same bird hours apart. I was floored to discover it was just 3 minutes. I posted this here, rather than the Show Birds thread, because I thought it might help someone else appreciate the power and moment-to-moment...

Trying out the round-head adaptors for my three Godox MF12 units (each one fitted with a diffuser dome). Three MF-12s mounted on a flexible arm attached to the L Plate of the camera to the left of the camera. A single TT685 shooting through a honeycomb grid behind and below the subject. Focus...

What are your general thoughts or recommendations on a diffuser for cameras with pop-up flashes? In my particular case it'd be a Canon 77D, and I know that there are a few different products out there and a bunch of DIY methods, but I'm more curious to the topic in general. Are they...

I find myself shooting more and more 120 film in cameras without built in meters. Carrying another camera to meter with works but isn't my preference. I'm looking at Eprey and the best options seem to be either the Sekonic I-188 or I-208. Anyone with experience with either/both able to add...

Hi I want to know what's best to achieve the golden/orange light everyone is after. I can use colour temperature orange gel over my speedlight. 2) I could use a reflector with a gold backing. Can I take a picture of an orange card and use it as a white balance preset? Will my pictures have...

Hi, I'm trying to get continuous low going indoors ie multiple exposure via a wireless remote. The camera won't do continous low unless I push the shutter release myself. The shutter is set for 1/125. Do I need a wired remote? The camera is set for remote control mode (quick response) Am I...

New little flash for my A6400. Lightweight and portability is the most important part for me in even considering taking a flash.

I have changed my lighting from a pair of Godox AD600 lights to a mix of four Godox/Flashpoint 200's. Two standard and two pro models. I wanted to write a bit, or get long winded, about the 200s, and the differences between the standard and pro models. I want to say now, that this is obviously...

I picked up this umbrella softbox from Amazon to play around with. It is only $22.95 with prime shipping. I tried it as a solo light. And then as a second fill light. The results were really good. Although it may have been due to working with such a highly skilled model. As a single light As...

ive always considered the Ricoh GR metering ( on my copy anyway) to be a little sensitive. I mean it seems to go from over to underexposed and back with very little movement of the camera. It’s like I’m in spot meter mode all the time. Combine that with sun on the screen and high contrast scene...

Hey all, I've replaced a fair number of bulbs in our house with LED replacements, but last time I replaced some, my wife was VERY unhappy about the difference in color temperature. I'm sure there's a proper match for nearly every bulb and application by this point in time. But she has nixed any...

Hi guys, I posted much the same question over on the sister site and it's this; does anyone know what one of these light rings is worth? It comes complete with controller for dimming the output but no chromatte backdrop. As I always say, if not for buying and selling camera gear I'd be unable...

So I have a good Macro lens now and want a good ring flash In searching I have ones that connect to the hot shoe and ones that do not. Would my camera, (NEX-6), actually control the ring flash in any way? I am preferring the non-connected one, can anyone explain the difference for me.

Hi folk, can anyone recommend a good light meter app for iOS? I've been using Pocket Light Meter for the last week or so and I'm finding it pretty frustrating - slow to operate and some odd control quirks (no EV comp on main interface, EV comp appears to work backward, no live preview of EV...

Does anyone have this flash? i40 | Nissin Digital It looks like a very compact but very high quality item. I've ordered a Sony version to use with my RX100m2 (and potentially with an A6000 or even A7 if I end up going that way). I expect to get it delivered early next week so I'll post some...
