Where abouts are you?

Not too big for use in a confined space, an excellent remote control system that allows you to control individual lights, light weight so good if you want to take them to events, S fit, why not? I know a few people who have them and they love them.

I still think you should look at the strowbeams

I use lastolite lumen 8's for school photos, they are tougher than you think and reliable, not as good as Bowens but still good. He buying for a garage setup now I would be looking at strobeams.

Look at your work as he you were a potential buyer, is it neatly presented, would it look better mounted and (or) framed? Is it printed on good quality photo paper or just knocked out on plain paper? Are your notes well thought out and typed neatly in a suitable font or hand scribbled on the...

You think? Ok, up to you. Do you often take hack saws to expensive lenses? Lol. Canon will tell you not to fit an ef-s lens to a 5D. Sigma will tell you their DC lenses are designed for crop sensors. There is nothing sweeping about my statement that I can see, it is based on advice from...

What software do you have?

No, it will be fine. It stops the light that you don't want coming from the wrong angle and offers some protection to the lens.

The file extension is the .jpg bit (the . is the bit...

Sounds like they may be corrupted, have you confirmed that the file extension has not been inadvertently changed?

Proper job, well done.
