Woody's back

I use Godox lighting and it works for me. Just added a AD200 to my lighting kit. WITSTRO AD200 (NEW) - WISTRO - Products | Godox Official UK Distributor There is also a bigger version - the AD360 if the AD200 is not powerful enough. For indoors the 200 will be more than enough. When i...

Sometimes I get lucky but most shots of these two at play are not keepers

finding it a challenge to get the exposure right for this mutt & jeff pair - expose for the black lab and the yorkie is over exposed - expose for her and he is big black blob.

Another update after the better part of the year using the smaller Godox Trigger (X1) I upgraded to the new X-Pro model recently released. Only played with this new one for a few hours and it is easier to use with the bigger screen and easy access buttons. Downside it does not have a pass...

Godox calls it a Pocket Flash - but it much bigger than most and powerful Now for a little quality time with these manuals

learning to shoot with the manual Lensbaby Twist 60 - rather funky lens . One thing I learned in my reading is that this is best on an full frame - but my D610 didn't come on this Christmas Trip. It works well on the D500 but apparently the crop sensor takes away the best part of the...

More from my dearly beloved under the tree for me - a rolling lighting gear case, new collapsible 32" beauty dish and seven foot 'air stand"

Took the D500 out to the Santa parade in our small town - faster lens ( Nikkor 1.8 35mm DX) and pushed ISO up between 3200 and 4000. Shot A-Priority so shutterspeed was variable. Didn't notice that I had exposure comp down to -1/3 - gotta remember to check that, should have been + a third at...

Succumbed to early Black Friday price reductions and upgraded to Paintshop Pro 2018

Picked this gem up a month or so ago - spent all of $25 (CDN) for this one at a antique-collectable "Junk in the Trunk" shop. The owner Paul has a room full of vintage gear - anyone near Camrose Alberta needs to check it out if old gear is on your radar. Shot my parrot and pup today - one...

Why you need to be careful what you leave on the screen

Stopped in another antique shop and picked up a flash for my vintage Kodak Hawkeye - it says "Flash Model" so it needed a flash attachment eh?
