dad gum piece of crap ebay sycer %%$#%&^*&*^%$#!!!!

 

if yall run into an issue try lickin the bottom of the hotshoe:^E

okay I have 1 400ws light with a reflective umbrella my question is why are my

pictures dark? I have to shoot with a shutter speed of 60 and a f stop of 1.8

to even get a decent exposure at full power. the light is no more than 3-4 feet

away and sometimes it seems as if half or part of the pic is properly exposed,

almost like my camera is out of sync I am using a wireless sync but ichanged

the batteries and it is still happening

 

*confused*

Thank you both very much I have very much appreciated the help here in this forum

I am seriously confused about the readout of the meter....In t priority the

meter gives a small number next to the apeture setting. I understand that that

mean i must shut down the apeture by .x but lets say the reading is 4 why

would'nt it just say 4.x instead of 4.0 x Am I understanding correctly that to

shut down in tenths of a stop is to add .x to your f number. DOES ANY OF THIS

MAKE SENSE >>>>>> PLEASE HELP!!!!

no just foam but honestly it probably has to do with the idgit that packed them 8)

"are they quartz-halogen modeling lights? If so don't touch them with your bare hands -- the oils, dirt and acids on your skin are really bad for the glass."

 

Well I'll be dipped in squirrel stew.....They just so happen to be Halogen quartz....now my healing is complete I'll blame it on the oils:P

The whole thing makes my head hurt...Which is why I like working in ICU and not the legal system....your either alive . . . or not.... no real Grey area. . . no need for the reasonable person test:)

not that i have any.....:(

My models aren't ugly they are "NATURAL"

Art your not helping my healing any:\

I don't deny that that is true in case history commercailly but what about artistically. meaning sold in an art gallery did andy Warhol have to pay royalties to campbells soup? however I don't have to agree with it. If I take a scenic pic of the San Fransisco bay bridge and sell it...do I have to pay royalties...what about a BMW...or a Cup of Tea.

I just received mine and I love'em. Definitively not professional grade but sturdy enough for the first timer!!

 

Three lights and all the goodies for 608 shipped

HEY..... no bragging....;) I am looking for sympathetic, empathetic stories here....more accurately in all truthfulness much more disastrous stories than mine to make my own poor attention to detail seem feel benign.

Photographing a piece of art is no more the artists than if I were to photograph a book. If I did so would I then have to site the author/book in the photo. What if I took a picture of a building . . . the architect then or the owners? In fashion, would we have to credit the clothing, Nudes the subjects parents? It sounds absurd but how else to illustrate absurdity? And then if I sell it should I be giving a percentage to either/or...a photograph is just that a photograph. . . whoever shot it . . . owns it.

I have had my lights less than 2 weeks and I have already managed to break all

three modeling lamps!....I just wonder why they are made so fragile:) Surely it

is not the responsibly of the packer to pack the bulbs appropriatly8)... anyone

else have other disastrous stories?

"This will accentuate the Camera Right definition of the diadem"

 

I am not sure what he said. . .but it sure sounds fantastic:)

As long as you recognize how lucky you are to stand in the shadow of such an acomplished "shooter" as I am....I think you will go far:p

Thank you sir....

How can you tell if something is Grey market? obviously I would guess if it is

significantly cheaper than all other sources but are there

any other ways especially with lenses

I would intentionally screw the first one up....drain it and then I am sure spontenaity would ensue:)
