...a bit of inTro....

i have never 'blogged' before... so this should be really interesting...

anyway, mostly i am going to be documenting my experiments in photography... especially with strobes...

i am a Nikon user... so grabbed a copy of "the speed of light" when it came out... and WOW!!! some amazing stuff... anyway... last month i decided to get some strobes to try out studio photography.... my choices were either the Alien Bees... or SB800's

needless to say, went with the SB800's... i want to do onlocation lighting setups, and i dont think the alien bees with the heavy power packes would offer me as much as the nikon speedlights... so there it was... part of my summer earnings gone to B and H... what i got? here it is...

2 SB800's, Manfrotto 3398B and a flash hotshoe(sadly something is wrong with it, and it doesnt work... sucks... should just send it back... but probably would end up costing me more)

the Manfrotto 3398B is pretty amazing. its a lightstand that can be converted to a boom. very useful if i want to have a SB800 as a top light. will post a setup soon.

let me know if you have any questions about any of the above... i will try and let you know about the experience i had with it...
