thanks mate, I'll get some Bowens stands and some soft box4s. I already have some of varying sizes but not great ones. Best Dave

Fantastic info there Gary, very much appreciated. Best Dave

yes, they are the wider phono type sized sockets.

Hi everyone, I have purchased 3 very cheap Bowens 750 lights in great condition apart from 1 circular bulb broken on delivery which the seller (not on here AFAIK) is replacing. The deal was just for the lights, so i now need some advice as to triggers, stands etc to be able to set up a small...

Hi Lee, Thanks for this. May i ask, what do i do about the camera taking the pics, is it set by the msm?

For a couple of years now i have had problems, reading and understanding instructions on boxes etc. I have also started forgetting words.....so obviously i'm getting old. lol Anyway, i've got a long planned return to Iceland in 10 days time, and hope to shoot some volcanic activity, but also...

Hi guys, Thanks for the info the more the merrier in my book. so many many thanks. I want to get an idea of what to do and how to do it, and it looks like i'm being bought one of those MSM thingys for a gift, plus i'm in Iceland for a week in January in the middle of nowhere with zero light...

Hi everyone, have any of you got experience with this lens please? I have the offer of buying a new one for under a grand and want to know your thoughts before i splash the cash. Best Dave

May i echo everyones sentiments above. So so sorry to hear of your loss.

I was at Lossiemouth for a military exercise a couple of yea5s ago, with my newly serviced canon 6D on the strap round my neck, and hand holding a 1d mk4. After shooting a burst of shots I felt movement to watch in slow motion the incorrectly fastened neck strap on the 6D slowly coming loose and...

Oh dear, It's an 'ok' piece but is inaccurate regarding a few things. 62 cars is the max I've seen parked ok on cad east car park, 88 cars and plod came to book them for sticking out into the main drag. Cad east can fit 4 cars at the top, about 4 through the gate about 200 metres away, and...

My canon 6D transfers pics easily enough, and I can use the I pad to take pictures up to 150m away from the camera which is great for nature shots.
