Agree with henryp.  Fly a 60 in umbrella behind you aimed at the crowd.  If you want to get fancy use a silver PLM.  Zack Arias in his OneLight series uses a single large umbrella for these shots. ...

Thx I wasn't aware that Adorama had a cash back deal.  Good to know.

I see that B&H is offering the Westcott Apollo 43 in Octa (orb) for $99 and it includes the grid and free shipping. Thats a pretty good deal if your into Westcott stuff.

Thanks John

Thanks I think I like the value of the thing and will just go for it. -- f8 and be there...with a Nikon

Hi, I'm relatively new into using light modifiers/strobist and am looking at the Apollo line.  I like the idea of the portability and versatility with being able to use speed lights or my new PCB ...

Thanks, PCB customer service is great.  They are shipping a new one out ASAP  and I can keep using the grinder until the new one comes. -- f8 and be there...with a Nikon

I think if they made one in a 1600 it would impact their Einstein sales. -- f8 and be there...with a Nikon

I just received mine and am sending it back. It sounds like a chainsaw running...the fan is REALLY load and makes a grinding noise. My other ABs purr like kittens. I'm not sure if this is an issue ...

Thx my son helps me pack around my stuff but yes, weight could be factor down the road as much as I try to deny it.

I happen to have a neuromuscular disease which will likely claim my life in the next year...two maybe if I'm lucky.  I'm hoping to be able to complete a photo project I'm working on before then. ...

I've owned every version of the 18-55 and my opinion is that the AF-P version has the overall best sharpness and image quality of the bunch.  I'm using mine exclusively with the D5500 and thus no ...

Hi, Which has the better image quality in your opinion?  I'm particularly interested and n performance at the wide end taking advantage of the the wide aperture.  VR on the Sigma and weight of the ...

If I had to guess what the White House photographer was using without looking at the article I would guess a full frame DSLR with a 24-70 zoom and a couple of primes. Go figure. Same as every...

I really like it.  I did have to play around with some settings to get the output the way I like it.  Great camera.

Thanks,, I cleaned up the BW version a bit.

X100T is a great camera.  Many pros are building their career around it.  The limiting factor is of course the fixed 35 lens. Its a good general purpose focal length.   You just have to use your ...

Correct, the AF-P lens isn't backward compatible.  I will say it is the sharpest 18-55 to dat however and I've owned every iteration of the kit lens.  I would do what someone else recommended and ...

I would tend to agree.  I haven't found a small point and shoot to be able to replace my entry level DSLR and kit lens.  By point and shoot I mean shirt pocketable like the RX1xx etc.  It just ...
