Title: Going to be gone for a bit
Post by: LSD72 on February 27, 2010, 21:15

I got my last 2 Speedlights in today and just got finished modding them with 3.5mm Jacks. So, now I have a 3 Speedlight system, Umbrellas, Stands and a Softbox. Now I need to learn how to do lighting. I am going to take off for a couple to a few weeks to devote to learning all I can.

In that time... it is very possible that we might be moving also. We are a high number on a waiting list. I dont know if we are going to set up for cable or what for internet so I might be gone for longer unless I pop in on a friends computer or something.

Thanks to everyone for all I have learned just by reading. I will be back...just when I don't know.

Good luck with learning lighting! It's a fun process that I'm in the middle of, too.

That's a lot of power.  Be careful with your light bill.  :) 

Enjoy!

Popping in to see whats going on. Got to knock out some pics for DP so I can get my last $50. BS and 123 had me thrown for a little loop when I went to check downloads.

Getting a feel for working with flashes. Just got to develop what works for me Artistically. Never can satisfy everyone thats a Photog. Some say you need more shadow, some less shadow. Raise your Umbrella... no lower it. Love the processing, dont like it. Needs to be warmer... cooler. Screw it. If I am happy with it...and so is the subject...then it is correct..lol.

Just going to throw links in to individual pics... if you want to look at them, here they are...
