    Strobes with UPS

    Thank you for all suggestions and ideas. Seems like I'll have to wait and look for some used stuff on eBay but it was worth asking to be 100% sure ;) I've seen so many cool DIY photography projects I thought maybe someone found a solution to that as well. I do like the golf trolley set up, very...

    Strobes with UPS

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy 3 for £200 :D, I will have to keep my eyes open. I've read about that sine wave and it's been bugging me, some people were mentioning it as well. I guess, maybe some UPS' offer this kind of wave but it would be like a lottery. Thanks a lot!

    Strobes with UPS

    I said it thousand times - I don't care how heavy it is, or if it lasts shorter than dedicated battery packs - of course it will last shorter because it's five times cheaper. If I wanted to use outdoor lamps for professional/customer shoots I would get dedicated battery pack and lamp. All I want...

    Strobes with UPS

    @simonbarker, it's more expensive than dedicated battery packs ;) Really, I just want to know if UPS will work with my lamps even if it weights 10kg or will last for 50 flashes. @cosmicma, dou you know rough cost of DIY battery pack? I would be able to put it all together no problem, I love...

    Strobes with UPS

    I will be mainly using strobes at home studio/customer's place - that their main purpose. I just thought that since I'm buying them I might try to shoot outdoors as well. I love working with natural light but I wanted to try something new but if it won't work with cheap UPS or something similar...

    Strobes with UPS

    I know what UPS is ;) Once, I was building server rack during my work placement and it had UPS that could power 5 servers and network equipment for up to 15min. Even if I get 100 flashes with cheaper UPS I'd be happy, it's just for fun. I've seen people claiming that they used UPS and people...

    Strobes with UPS

    I don't mind the weight, I just need to be sure it will work. As I said I don't want to spend so much money on something I want to try just for fun. Dedicated battery packs for studio lamps are expensive (about £250-300), even entry level ones. Quantuum battery pack that I guess works only with...

    Strobes with UPS

    I'm based in UK and I want some cheap lightweight strobes that I can take to the customer or set at home. Since I have access to the studio (but it's quite far from my home) I don't want to spend too much money on it. I just want to avoid driving 30 min to the studio to grab the lamps etc. I...

    Strobes with UPS

    Hello, I recently bought two lamps for my home studio setup - Quantuum Move 200. I was wondering if there's a way of powering these with UPS so I can use them outside too. I know there are dedicated battery packs but none of them are compatible with these lamps and basically I'd have to buy one...

    How do you get yourself known

    I also use plugin called StatPress on my website so I know where the clicks come from. It shows all the traffic on the website. Plus, facebook is quite powerful, I didn't expect that it will have so many options and stats and you can also buy targeted ads there. I mostly do pet photography, so...

    How do you get yourself known

    Well, I'm in the same situation here. I feel like I can finally start earning some extra money on photography so that means I had to start kind of advertising myself. I refreshed my website, I created facebook fanpage and I advertised myself on some websites... but I could use some ideas as well...

    Hedgehog (more photos added)

    I quite like shallow DOF and blurred foreground. Very good pictures and even with high ISO they sharp and good quality.

    Critique Altis the Border Collie

    My grandma has a spaniel, cute dogs :) Altis loves running and jumping around, I have lots of action shots with him. There's only one thing he loves more - stalking his toys, this is a secret to keep him still haha.

    Critique Altis the Border Collie

    Thank you all for comments, I'm glad you like them and I'll post more. For now I don't have any new ones but I'll choose the best ones I have already :) I'm planning to print some maybe on canvas. And yeah, I used my Sigma 50mm f1.4 @f2 if I remember correctly :) Usually my boyfriend helps me...
