Yesterday we had scheduled a little outdoor photo shoot for fun and crossed our fingers the weather held out (or as it may, hoped it would turn for the better). Sure enough come Sunday morning the sun popped out and the temperature climbed just into the teens for a beautiful spring day. This session was...
I absolutely love my Canon 580EX flashes… The portability is amazing, just stick them in a small bag and go. The light output is soo controllable, they are easy to add attachments too such as gels and gobos… and… can’t think of anything better for portability. Yet… having said that… they are battery powered and...

A few months ago I was looking for a Lightstand/Umbrella kit to go with my 580′s. I ended up chosing the Elinchrom Umbrella & Stand “Set to Go” 2xStands, 2xUmbrellas, Bag kit from Vistek.ca. Price wise as well as shipping time, lack of duty and import taxes… well… for $149.95 CAN… best all in one...

Heh Harvinder… thanks so much for posting… never really sure if it makes sense to anyone 
I honestly did love the kit… until I got to use Joels’ Photogenic setup… now I’m cursing myself for buying the Elinchrom setup. Not that it’s bad… but you basically just write off the umbrellas and have to add those to the purchase price.

Hey man,
Came across your post when I was looking for the elinchrom “to go” kit. Good work… I went the 2 x 580exIIs route. I don’t like the fact that the umbrella kit only has 2 non-convertible umbrellas. I like the translucent.
Anyways, thanks for helping me make my decision. You’re site is awesome!

What a blast tonight! Joel, Chris and Bruce showed up with their cameras and gear at the ready… but due to some coaxing from Joel… we also had a photo subject to shoot. I spent the first part of the evening setting up the lights/umbrellas and such, holding a white reflector… you name it. Honestly...

Tonight my friends Chris (and his daughter Emma) and Joel came over to try out some off-camera lighting. My house is undergoing major renovations right now and I’m waiting on the new ceramic floor tiles to show up on Wednesday to complete that task. In the mean time there has been drywall done, walls built,...
