Cheers for the recommendation Garry. I've given David an email. Just awaiting his reply! Luckily we still have our old strobes here at work to use.

This is exactly what happened! But from the time it took me to get from the plug socket to the lamp to cycle it, that was the time it blew. Within about 5 seconds of turning it on! So I know it's definitely in need of a repair, would you recommend sending it straight to Bowens? Or possibly a...

So we recently received some Bowens 200 heads at work. We plugged them in and switched them on like normal to find one blow up and start smoking like crazy! It was a really thick white smoke which absolutely stunk the place out. Was pretty frightened the fire alarm was going to go off! Any...

Looking good matey! My usual setup on my 5dmkii is as follows... 15mm fisheye and then swap to 24-105 for different styles RAW (this way I can really fiddle with the exposure of peoples faces which can easily been overexposed if you're running around like a lunatic as I usually do...) ISO 800...

I want to do a bit of video at a music studio. I've Been asked to take photos of a friends band while rehearsing and I thought I'd include a bit of video too. This is unpaid work as they're some good old friends of mine. I just wanted to ask if anyone has any good tutorial sites or forum...

I own a 20 year old canon 50mm 1.8 and It's been really looked after and passed down from my dad. I think it really works a treat! But if you're really going for that BOKEH effect save up a little more and go for the 1.4, That's the lens personally I'd save up and buy...

Just waiting for the 5Dmkii to come through the post, I ordered it because of the price drop recently and my incoming work for studio based photography and I want to make a start on some videography. I've read a few reviews , and was just wondering Am I going to see a huge difference between...

Looking to hire out a studio within the Essex region or not far off... Does anyone know of any? Must include lighting equipment and hopefully different scenario's/ backdrops And obviously an infinity wall. Thanks :)

Nice one I'll be heading down around 10ish, I'm wondering if it'll be busy though... being a friday night and all! Cheers

The 430ex mk2 is a brilliant flash and I have been using it for a year now! and really does do the job in nightclubs and dark environments. It's also the flash I started with when I first got into flash photography , I'd say go for the 430ex mk2 if it's your first and you don't want to break the...
