Thanks guys really appreciate the help but after hours of trawling the internet and not really getting anywhere I have purchased a cheap and cheerful set on eBay for £25 (2 umbrellas, 2 stands 2 adapters) I know it's going to be crap but I figured for £25 I can get some experience and have a...

Hiya Guys! I bet this one should be real simple but no one seems to be able to give me a straight answer - all I want is a stand and a white umbrella to have a play with. I've been looking at the Lencarta stand and white umbrella but I'm unsure what adapters I need or where to get them from...

Yes most likey. I'm over tired and not thinking straight ATM which is why I've tried to narrow it down to a few questions. To be honest I think I'm set really as speaking to two other people who do the same - I can start without doing prints for now and just set up with a stand and two soft...

Essentially yes :) I have been looking at this but I will have to get it from USA and it's not cheap on delivery.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORTABLE-BACKDROP-KIT-8-FT-TALL-x-10-FT-WIDE-PIPE-AND-DRAPE-PREMIER-DRAPES-/271948071808?var=&hash=item3f515e4380:m:mjryu5xzmFMtz8xGdwLm99g Feeling a bit...

Hi guys, I'm really interested in getting an open photo booth set up for events but I don't know where to start with back drops and stands, does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally I'm looking for a set up that includes being able to print it out on the night also.

I never would of thought about that before you mentioned it...it would take some time keeping but you could 'hide' the sparkler behind yourself. I mean, take the flash shot run out of camera to light the sparkler then when you run past your wife manoeuvre the sparkler so it's behind you before...

Thank you for that I really appreciate it. I will pick them both up can never have to many books!

Which one was this by chance? :)

I'm still learning myself but the lens you are most likey using aren't designed to take close up pictures, that's what a macro lens is for. You can turn the auto focus of and focus manually though but all equipment has it's limitations.

Unfortunate I need two flash guns for that... I've sworn off buying any more equipment for the time being as I've spent over 2k since this whole photography obsession started... :banghead:

Well I will give it a try next time to see regardless! I guess it's just something else to do. Can't wait to try again but I think my friends boyfriend is getting a bit fed up of my photo shoots...every-time I mention having photos done my female friend is oooo yayy!!!!! :oops: :$:oops: :$ May...

Wouldn't this just mean they weren't visible from the front though? Or is the silhouette shape what you would be going for in that instant? :) Just wondering what effect that would bring

Thank you :) I thought perhaps the clothing colour might of made a big difference (although of course didn't realise this before hand she asked me whether beige or black looked smarter so this could of been avoided!) I'm going to keep practising shapes/drawing words in the back garden before...

I never used the diffuser in the end, to be honest it just didn't cross my mind I took test shots and the couple looked ok exposer so I carried on at the time. For saying this is my first attempt I know they are not perfect but I'm happy that I managed to combine the sparklers with sharp images...
