Another +1 for the Lastolite, got mine second-hand from Wex and works like a dream.

Thank you for emailing me my copy Gary. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, (working today) but hope to in the next few days.

Fair comment, but modern architecture and horses don't really seem to rock their boats.

:D:D I was watching and waiting ... But I do think that people are interested in lighting and portraiture (certainly the group I hang round with are) so your talk went down well. We have a good programme too with some excellent lectures and workshops :). Bury it seems is the place to go...

Many thanks Garry, much appreciated and taken on board.

Had crossed my mind :D:D

Thank you for sharing Dan, appreciated. :-)

Same here Dan so following with interest. I have the lights (2 x Lencarta 300s) now need the modifiers.
