    Hark 2019

    I drove past this sign a couple weeks ago and decided to return to take a photo. When I was a kid, I remember seeing barns with advertisements painted on their sides. This reminded me of those although these are signs that are fastened to the building - not painted directly on the stones.

    24" to 26" Octabox suggestions

    Kevin, I couldn't find a Godox octabox in a 24" to 26" size. Cheetahstand has this 26" which comes with a beauty dish. What it has that the Phottix and Glow lack is a pebbled silver interior. It's my understanding that a pebbled interior reduces hot spots better than one without. But I have a...

    Hark 2019

    I've been shooting so much for church as well as the memorial benches lately that it felt good just to be out taking photos for myself. There was some type of soccer event at the park this afternoon. It looked as though they were finishing up a game when I spotted this treeline. There's a...

    24" to 26" Octabox suggestions

    I'm looking for a smaller octabox (currently have a Godox 47") and want to stay in the 24" to 26" range for outdoor portability. Although I'm a big Magmod fan, the reviews of the Magbox concern me - so I'm looking for a different brand. I haven't seen an octabox by Godox in that size range...

    Hark 2019

    If there's one thing I dislike even more than finding a pile of feathers near our birdfeeder is seeing the pile then a moment later a hawk flies out from behind a bush leaving its dead prey behind. After I buried the pigeon, I noticed the hawk was still in our yard. It's wearing the blood on its...

    Hark 2019

    Someone was running a remote controlled boat on a local lake. It moved pretty fast - I barely remember upping my shutter speed to 1/1600" before starting to shoot. Because of the boat's speed coupled with the fact that it was so close to the shore, I didn't want to take any chances. One of the...

    I will check my Nikon flash cases for the SB-700 and SB-910 to see if they will hold the trigger and receivers. Nikon sells the cases separately although the price is kind of high. This one is the SS-700 replacement case for the SB-700. Cost is $20 new. Will still keep watch for a Case Logic...

    This clamp arrived today. The smell isn't nearly as bad as what some of the reviews suggested. :beguiled: The clamp is exceptionally strong. There's no way it's going to drop something. It's all I can do to open it. The clamp itself is metal, not plastic, although the edges that hold a diffuser...

    I just purchased this Neewer reflector clamp. The reviews are quite positive, and the majority of it is metal. I also have a boom arm with a clamp, but the boom makes the lightstand more tippy than I am expecting this would be. A lightstand can be raised very high to accommodate a larger-sized...

    highest click D750 with no shutter replacement?

    The shutter count doesn't get reset when Nikon replaces the shutter. The shutter in my D600 was replaced twice by Nikon - no change to its shutter count either time. There are ways to hack the software that controls the count although Nikon doesn't alter it. Was it @Blacktop who had a body...
