I would love a mac as running win7 and at the mo and I hate it. I am not a pc! As above Apple may have some issues but the fact everything works together is a big plus in my future purchasing considerations.

Got 2 of these and they rock!

I bought one of the lastolite sandbags from speedgraphic when I bought the stand and fill it up on location!

Not neccesarily grey wall but you could get some thick non reflective grey material from a local shop. The local Asian wear places to me have some amazing material. I bought some black material and doubled it up and has lasted years, is non reflective and doesn't crease either! Started off...

I understand how to light a white background but the image posted wasn't white! Was trying to avoid confusion for the op. If not going for the room as a bg a mid grey would surely be best as it can be grey, lit white or unlit to go black three simple options but would all require lighting...

To build up my very little business into one that will provide a comfortable life for me and my family and give my kids them opportunity to do things like go to uni and travel. I want to look at my work and feel proud and for others to enjoy it. Some other great ideas on here. Yv I know what...

I don't get it, that background isn't white?!? I would go with use the room option for simplicity. It challenges you with your lighting and attention to detail although I am a fan of low key so black backgrounds are good too.

I wouldnt dont worry, but I appreciate the info!

I might be wrong but thing I saw some on the lencarta website not sure if fitting though!

Steve,thanks that's really helpful I can't run to the elites but I am hoping to stretch to the light meter as I would rather be getting it right in camera rather than chimping the whole time! I looked at that one hopefully will source one in here!

Bump would appreciate the input. Is it a really bad idea? Should I go for a more popular flash based site or something completely different? Anyone any ideas? If you can't see it from a mobile It's www.robrichards.co.uk

Cheers for that I had come to the same opinion through independant research (but Sig acknowledged!). I am checking my diary to perhaps arrange to pop over the border to Bradford in November to try them out! Re the power, figured that was the case!

Guess that's a +1! Thanks for replying!
