    Thanks all for the quick response! As a matter of fact I did buy the Ansel Adams "Polaroid Land Photography" book -- I will definitely read this and more. I love the examples in this book and the...

    Flash Fans to be Found?

    My shooting has been transformed since I bought into a Lumedyne portable flash system. I cannot recommend the equipment more highly. My system can go to 600ws, but I can easily push that to 1000ws....

    Lumedyne battery replacement

    I also use Lumedyne, and have nothing but good things to say about the system. I only have the large "Super Battery," and it has been super. I bought my 600w/s system from a pro in the UK 3 years...
