This is probably the greatest beginners Continuous Digital Lighting package you'll ever see for anywhere near this price! Heck, this is the greatest Continuous Lighting package you'll find for any price! And these continuous lights are the finest available anywhere - for any price! This is truly a revolutionary lamp and you just won't believe the exquisite quality - until you open up the package and see for yourself! Of course, I have more powerful 1,000 watt continuous lighting equipment also available in my other eBay auctions, but I assure you, these 650 watt beauties will pump out more light than you're likely to need! Just wait and see.

You'll have everything you'll need to get started in still digital photography, video, or film studio lighting! With TWO exciting, brand new 650 Watt Focusable Digital Continuous Lamps, you'll have plenty of power to light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:) just like a pro. And now - included
FREE are two barndoors AND a fabulous raw muslin background! In addition, you'll have a three great umbrellas to creatively soften the light and effectively help to hide the lines, sags, and wrinkles often found on our older clients (it makes them look younger, more vibrant, and attractive) and umbrella lighting is also great for removing or reducing the reflections from glass, chrome, or any reflective surface; as well as mellowing out the light for detailed product photography! Two Umbrellas are standard Black/White reflection Umbrellas, and the third Umbrella is a fabulous Transparent "Shoot-Through" Umbrella, which functions just like a softbox, so you'll have plenty of choices available in order to create the exact lighting effects you want.

And in addition, you'll have 2 heavy-duty light stands, power cords, bulbs, safety straps and carrying straps (of course). And now you'll also get a fabulous FREE Cell Phone Antenna Booster, too! Whatta fabulous deal! And everything can be stored in the corner of a closet when not deployed in a studio setup. Over all, this is a truly fabulous starter package for an absolutely UNBELIEVABLY low price! You get all this for less than 1/2 of you might pay for just one light from a competing manufacturer or photo supplier. So who da man? "PhotoSource3" on eBay, of course (Photographer's SupplyStation). When you buy from Photographer's SupplyStation ("PhotoSource3" on eBay), you get more than just equipment; you get honesty, integrity, and help, too.
Important: I just HATE IT when I buy a "kit" or "package," and then when I receive it, I discover that I can't use it because there's something else I need (usually at a substantial additional cost, too) to make it work (i.e., the "batteries not included" syndrome)! So I'd never do that to my (cherished) customers! With this fabulous package, absolutely everything is included (well, except a camera, film or memory card, and photographer, that is)! When this package arrives, all you'll have to do to start making great photographs, videos, or movies, is open it up, unwrap your new goodies, put the lights on the light stands, plug 'em in, point them at your favorite victims, and, baby, just like Elvis, go ahead and rock and roll (fire away)! NO additional equipment or parts are needed to start using your new studio equipment the day it arrives at your front door!

Perfectly Light Balanced for PERFECT Still Digital Images, Digital Video
or Analog Video Imaging, or Movie Productions!

As you can see from this rear view, this revolutionary new Powerful 650 Watt Quartz-Halogen Lamp comes equipped with ALL the extras! And you won't find it anywhere else for anywhere near this price!

It has built-in aimong handle, which allows you to control exactly where you want to put that light, built-in carrying handle, built-in light stand attachment, built-in safety latch, PLUS something almost NO OTHER DIGITAL LAMP in this price range HAS:
the ability to FOCUS the light at the EXACT POINT YOU WANT Notice the "Focusing Knob?

Why is focusing important? Because we can choose to light a particular point in or on our subject with a "sharp" and focused light, or purposely "blur" or "diffuse" the light to show off the best advantage of our subject(s). This lamp is 650 watts, but those watts pump out so much light that you can light your subject(s) from 2 directions with only one light (if you choose to do so)! How? Simply place a reflector (a 20" x 28" piece of white poster board available for for under $2 - I bought mine for .39¢ - from any art, stationery, or school supply store, and many drugstores, too) on the fill side of your subject, reflecting the powerful main light onto the opposite side of your subject for the fill! Then, you can use your other light to illuminate your background (see below), saving you lotsa money! So who da man? Huh? ;-)

Back to top of page

As this view from the front of the light shows, it is truly unique! Notice the Focusing Tracks, which allows us to focus the light at the specific spot we want!.

This fabulous light also has integral light stand connectors and barndoors holders, saving you from having to buy extra accessories. Oh yes, did I mention that two custom barndoors (a $49.95 value for each barndoors) is INCLUDED with this package -
FREE!

Whether you want to make great digital still pictures, video productions, or become your own movie producer, this fabulous, powerful lamp will perform perfectly, and do the job you need done! And - did I mention - at the lowest price you're ever likely to see anywhere!

As you can see, these great lamps come complete! The carry handle makes moving it easy, the aiming handle makes aiming the light easy, and the barndoors (included free) allows you to put the light at the exact place you want it easily! Notice the grippers along the top, bottom, and sides; they're for attaching the Barndoors (included free).

When using these light-balanced lamps with regular film cameras (35mm, APS, medium format, etc.), simply use 3200k film (or a common and inexpensive 3200k filter) for perfect color rendition. If you're shooting with black and white film, you don't have to do anything - just shoot away! If you're using digital cameras or video cameras, the light is already perfect!

Here's some information about the items comprising
your new starter studio:
Brand New 2.8 to 7.5 Foot Light stands



Unlike many of the items you'll find listed on eBay, all these items are Brand New, not old, used, banged-up cast-offs that someone else is trying to get rid of. These are 100% new, perfect, and come with the manufacturer's full warantee. Consider this when making your purchasing decisions.
Top: 3/8" stud, 1/4" thread, type A.
Size: 2.8 ft to 7.5 feet; Weight: 2.8 lbs. ea.

Here's a fabulous deal on excellent quality light stands. This Brand New Britek light stand extends to a height of 7 1/2 Feet, and folds down (fully assembled) to only 2.8 feet for easy packing and transport.

These stands have a black finish which reduces unwanted glare; three vertical sections (19mm, 16mm, 13mm), and three double-braced legs (16mm), which provide excellent stability in the studio or on location. They're topped with a standard 3/8" stud with 1/4" thread, type A. Sturdy as all get out, yet only weigh about 3 lbs. (so you can pack up easily for location shoots - believe me, schlepping around anything heavier can give you a hernia, especially when added to all your other gear). Yet these babies can be folded up and put in the corner of your closet and take up very little space.

I've been using these same stands for over 3 years now, and couldn't be happier! You'll probably love 'em, too. They're sized perfectly for multiple uses: with a low height of under 3 feet, they're great for background lighting; at their full 7.5 feet, they're perfect for lighting standing subjects, lighting from above for kids or sitting subjects, or even hairlights; and adjusting them anywhere in-between, they're perfect for subject-level lighting, whether you're photographing kids or adults (or things)! BTW, as stated above, you'll be buying brand new stands here, NOT my used ones (those are mine! you can't have them; I like them, and I'm gonna keep them; you go buy your own! (hey, at this great price, buy several. :).

Reality Check: Hey, if you're rich, I'd suggest buying a set of bigger, heavier (& more expensive) stands for your pro studio setup, and another set of lightweight stands for location shoots; but my studio is in my house, and I don't have 20 foot ceilings for the 15' stands anyway, so these stands work just fine for me. 7.5 feet is plenty high for most uses, and we have larger stands should you need more height. And they're sturdy enough for studio work, and light enough for location work. Realize, though, that these stands, while certainly a great deal and a marvelous value, are the working photog's Chevys and Fords; not Rolls Royces. Treat them with minimal respect, and they'll see you through to old age; but if you're looking for the Ferraris of light stands, go buy something else. This sturdy light stand is rated to hold a load of 10 pounds (but, personally, I try to keep the load under 9 lbs when it's fully extended) either way, it's likely to be able to hold darn near any lighting unit you're using. Of course, there are bigger and heavier stands, too.

All the sections of these stands are quality tubular stock, NOT the cheapie solid ones (which are heavier and less versatile, as well as cheaper). The only "cheap" part of these stands is the price - not the quality! Bid now, while they're still in stock.

FREE Photo Tips and Information

Photo tip #56: This is perhaps the most important piece of photographic advice I can give to any photographer, amateur or professional (but especially amateurs), so pay attention, gentle reader, pay attention! There are few things more frustrating than getting back your prints (regardless of whether it's film or digital) and finding an image that's absolutely wonderful; everything is perfect, the lighting, the shadows, the exposure, the background - absolutely everything is fantastic; everything is phenomenal; everything is exquisite beyond description - and then saying to yourself: "How did I do that?" The moral of this story? KEEP NOTES! Write down your settings (camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, film used, distance from subject, lighting setup, meter readings, etc.)! I know, I know, it's a hassle; it's like backing up your important computer files every day. Nobody likes to do it. But we all should. Here's what I did: after going through this situation at least a dozen times, I started keeping great notes, and whenever a "perfect" picture came in, I'd make an extra print of it, and place the image into a scrapbook, where I wrote down all the settings, right under the picture. After a while, I had a couple hundred of these images and data in my scrapbook. Now, whenever I want a certain effect for a picture, all I do is flip through my scrapbook, find an image with the effect I want, and all the information I need to set up my equipment is right there! Hey, when you're working (or paying models by the hour), being able to get perfect exposures - quickly - is money in the bank (and it's also impressive to your subjects, too)! You have to remember that in addition to being a photographer, you're also a business person, and time is money! If you're doing product photography, the more shots you get in a day, the more money you make. If you're doing portraits, the more portraits you finish in a day, the more money you make. The more images you make per portrait session, the more prints you'll sell to your subjects. So take a bit of advice: KEEP GOOD NOTES! Or do like I did: get one of Minolta's new Maxxum 7 cameras that will automatically save all this information (and more!) for you for every exposure (awright, so I'm lazy:).

The Business of Photography - Selling Portraits: We have our portrait session where we make dozens and dozens of exposures (sometimes, we might even take a hundred pictures or more in a portrait session; especially if we're working with a family or group). Then, we send our clients home, telling them that we'll call them as soon as their prints come back. We then send the film or disk to our lab and have them make contact sheets for us; when we receive the contact sheets from the lab, we carefully examine each image, and pick out the very best 5 or 10 or 20 images (we never let our clients see ALL the images - there are always a bunch of exposures that turn out terrible)! There are those pictures where the client's eyes are closed (everybody blinks, and sometimes they blink just when we press that shutter button:); in other shots, the client moves their head or glances away and messes up our carefully-designed lighting. So we pick out the very best ten or twenty images out of all the pictures we made during the portrait sitting. The client never sees the imperfect images, only the very best of all our shots. Then, we have our lab make an 11 x 14 print of the best image, and then we have the next 5-10 best images made into 8 x 10 prints for us. The, we make 4 x 6 prints of perhaps about next 3-5 best images from the session. We then put the 11 x 14 print and maybe 3-4 of the 8 x 10 prints into beautiful frames. We set up all the pictures in our studio and call the client in to see all these lovely images (or we bring the pictures to our client's home or office for viewing). Of course, there are some portrait sessions wherein we make only a few pictures; perhaps a business executive wants one picture of himself for the company annual report, and isn't interested in any additional shots. But even then, always make at least a dozen exposures; that way we're sure of getting at least a couple of good images (just try to imagine how embarrassing it would be to call our client and tell him/her that we have to do the session all over again because none of the two or three pictures we took turned out good enough).

Why the frames? Because we also make quite a nice profit on selling picture frames, as well as pictures (albums, too)! The client ends up seeing only the most beautiful images (and thinks we're phenomenally-talented photographic artists:). They see how wonderful the pictures look in the lovely frames, and end up ordering lots of prints, and lots of frames. Always ask the client if grandma and grandpa would like some prints; after the client orders the 11 x 14s, 8 x 10s, 5 x 7s and 4 x 6 prints, always ask how many wallet-sized prints they would like. Write up a great order! Make a lot of money by making a lot of people very happy. Can you think of any better way to make a living? And, unless you're a gynecologist, in what other profession can you ask a magnificently beautiful girl (or guy, depending upon your outlook:) who you've only just met, to take off her clothes, and have her do so quickly and happily? Huh? AND get paid for doing it! Damn, I love photography! :-) BTW, no matter what your models may look like, always tell them they're beautiful/handsome; it makes them feel good about themselves, helps them loosen up for the camera, and is absolutely true - everyone has beauty, if only we have the eyes to see it. And therein lies the secret of every great photographer: he/she has developed the "photographic vision," the eyes to see the beauty in everything.

Buy a copy of Popular Photography, and every other photographic magazine you can find. Look for the ads that all the custom labs always have running in these magazines; also find the ads for wholesale suppliers of picture frames, albums, calendars, custom mugs, and poster-size prints. Call, e-mail, visit the web sites, or write to every supplier and ask for their wholesale price lists. Choose the labs and photographic suppliers you like, and compare prices and delivery times. Try out a few different sources, and after a while you'll have your favorite suppliers. You'll find that the prints and other supplies are surprisingly inexpensive, and you'll have a truly great markup for your profit. Wham, bam, you're on your way to a fun, creative, and wonderfully rewarding way to make a living doing something you love. What more can we ask out of life? OK, someone to love, perhaps? If you haven't met him/her yet, there are few better ways to find new friends (and lovers:) than through photography (after all, making people look great tends to impress them favorably, right?).

So give it a shot; there's no downside; if it works for you as a profession, great! If not, at the very least, you'll have a wonderful and creative hobby (along with the admiration of your friends and family). And at best, becoming a successful photographer means fame, fortune, and world travel; and the joys of the artistic creativity that accompanies such success aren't too difficult to learn to live with, huh? And don't forget about all the exquisitely beautiful / handsome models you'll be "forced" to work with, either! :) Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it, right? Life has few guarantees, but one thing you can be absolutely certain about is this: you can't possibly succeed unless you try.

Accessories & Information

Point of Information: BTW (btw means "by the way" for any "newbies" paying us a visit), a "Reflection" umbrella is one that reflects the light back onto the subject, and thereby softens and diffuses the light. This technique is often used in portraits, for delicate items, and for photographing reflective surfaces, and performs many beneficial services for all us hard-working, and under-appreciated photographic artists. Keep it a secret from others, though, and let them think we get our beautiful images through some sort of secret and esoteric magic, passed down through the centuries, from master to disciple. It helps increase our value ;-) - and please don't send me any e-mail explaining that photography hasn't been around for centuries, I know that. Duh. Actually, photography (in one form or another) has been around for about 150 years.

 WHITE/BLACK REFLECTION UMBRELLAS: 32"

The White/Black umbrella is made of the new P-Satin clothes-PU bonding with high denier Satin. Their Black cover can achieve almost 100% light reflection rate and provide soft almost shadowless light, which is suitable for indirect and diffusive lighting. A wonderful method of softening the light. You get two Black/White Umbrellas with this fantastic beginner's kit! NOTE: Beware of buying umbrellas that are NOT appropriate for the strobes you'll be using with them!



Technique: Photographers use these umbrellas to diffuse and soften light; in portraits, for example, this soft lighting very effectively hides many of the lines and wrinkles on the faces of our victims (umm, our "subjects" :), making them look younger and more vital. It's also great for photographing highly reflective surfaces, such as jewelry, glass, and chrome (it avoids the bright reflections that mess up our pictures). But don't let our clients know our little secrets, just accept their appreciation (along with your quickly-escalating fees), and let them believe it was your phenomenal photographic skill that made them (or their products) look so damn good! Look, you're spending a lot of time and money acquiring the equipment, and learning the skills of the photographic arts; you're becoming a skilled professional; your work is valuable as well as beautiful. Don't price yourself out of the market, certainly, but don't sell yourself cheap, either. You get TWO Black/White Umbrellas with this kit.

HUGE 44" Transparent White "Shoot-Through" Umbrella: The "poor photographer's softbox"

Ah, now here's a truly valuable and versitile addition to every photographer's tool kit! The transparant material of this great umbrella allows us to either use it reflectively (as with the Black/White Umbrella, above), or - and here's the true value - to direct our light through this umbrella, resulting in a truly fabulous way to soften our light - without losing a few stops of exposure (and without costing us an extra hundred bucks or so for a softbox)! This is almost the exact same thing that the softbox does, and this gives us yet another method to control our lighting. When you start using this kit, you'll quickly see the differences between using the reflection umbrellas, and the shoot-through umbrella. The more tools we have, the more creative we can be, and that's why I include the most valuable photographic tools and accessories in these packages. I promise you, digital studio lighting is a blast, and this package allows us to greatly improve our photo/video/graphy! And with this kit you have the equipment you'll need for both reflective-umbrella and softbox-style Transparent Shoot-Through umbrella lighting! This package gives you the equipment you'll need for truly professional results! So who da man? Huh? Well, huh? :-)

3627 barndoors
Barndoors
This unit attaches to the front of the light. Barndoors are used by photographers to restrict and control light; by moving the four "doors" of the barndoors in front of the light, you can choose a wide light spread, a narrow, "slit" of light spread, and everything in-between! All this can be easily achieved by simply moving the "doors" open or closed over your lamp, as you choose. And remember, controlling the light is the most important aspect of photography, videography, and filmmaking!

NEW: Raw Muslin Background Material

Now you'll have a truly useful photographic background/backdrop, to go along with your new lights. This raw muslin background material is 6 feet 8 inches wide by 9 feet tall (plenty of room for almost all common photographic requirements). It's one of the most popular and useful backdrops in use today! The raw muslin - a light, creamy, tan color - has been used successfully by professional photographers for decades, and will doubtlessly give you the same creative abilities. Easy to use and popular with both portrait and product photography, the raw muslin has helped improve images for countless photographers worldwide. With this fabulous background/backdrop to start you out, you'll be ready for virtually any photographic challenge that comes your way! And here's an interesting suggestion: the raw power of these digital lights is such that you can place one of your lamps behind the muslin backdrop, pointing forwards; this will cause the muslin to "glow" beautifully behind our subjects! Use the barndoors to control the light spread to your liking. This technique is fabulous with both product photography (amaze your clients) and portraiture, and this effect is just one of the many ways your new digital lighting package will improve your work! P.S. As mentioned above, don't tell everyone about all our secret little techniques - photographers are like magicians, they perform the magic, amaze the audience, and never, ever, give away the secrets (like I'm doing right now, huh?)! ;o)

"PhotoSource3" on eBay

Ever have your cellular phone fail to find a signal when you really needed it? Those of us who have cell phones, have them because we never know when we'll find ourselves in a situation where it will save our butts (or those of our spouses, kids, or friends) from some emergency.

Other times, when we're on our cell phone with an important call, we discover that we've just "dropped" the call during the most important part of our conversations. It's happened to all of us, and I really hated it when it happened to me!

We've all seen the ads on TV and in the magazines and newspapers for these Cell Phone Antenna Boosters, and hundreds of thousands have been sold for $19.95 each! And, yes, they DO help (I've tried them on my own cell phones). They're easy to install (just peel and stick them behind the battery). To be perfectly honest (and I always am:), they're not as "Wonderful" as the TV ads make them out to be (what is?:), but they really do help pull in the cell signals when you're in a "fringe" area or inside buildings. I certainly don't think they're worth $20, but in an emergency, these little antenna boosters could make the difference for you. And one thing's for sure: you can't beat the price! It's FREE!

I just happened to come upon a fabulous deal for these cellular phone antenna boosters, and I feel that it's something we should all have - after all, when an emergency happens to us, we'll NEED to have a connection that will work (but no guarantees:)!

Sure, I could have sold these for five, ten, or maybe even fifteen dollars each (as others are doing) and I could have made a great profit on them - but I'm NOT the average eBay seller (you might care to review my business philosophy, here), and I feel that if you're kind enough to purchase this great professional lighting equipment from me, the least I could do would be to give you one of these as a FREE gift! So I'm including one of these Cellular Antenna Boosters with EVERY order. For FREE! Just my way of saying: "Thank you for your patronage!" So "Who da man?" Huh? Who da man? ;-)
Back to top of page

Each and every order (placed from this eBay auction listing) will include one FREE Cellular Phone Antenna Booster.

My goodness, folks, that's less than a few dinners will cost you at nice restaurant (and this pro kit will last you a lot longer than a dinner will:). But these go fast! So bid now, and bid to win!

Even MORE FREE Photo Tips & Techniques: The Portrait Session
Technique: Which background should we use? That's a question with a million answers; the answer is: It depends. It depends upon what effect we're after, which mood we wish to create, how we choose to present our victim (um, er, our "subject," that is:) to the world. But there are a few basic guidelines we can follow. If our victim has striking blue eyes, for example (blue, brown, or whatever color, if their eyes are beautiful, use a backdrop with similar colors), but for this discussion, if our subject has beautiful brown eyes, consider a background with browns, tans, or golds as a prominent color. If our victim has wonderful blond hair, consider using a backdrop with gold, tans, or light browns in it. If our subject is wearing a red blouse or dress, use a background with reds or pinks among its colors. If our subject is wearing a green suit, consider a backdrop with greens and/or blacks in it. It's our job - as photographers - to make our subjects (whether they're people in portrait pictures, or products, or buildings) look as good as we possibly can. And one of our most powerful and potent allies in this quest is the use of backgrounds! It's up to us to make our pictures make our subjects look as beautiful (or handsome, or striking, etc.) as we possibly can! If you can't afford a professional background (check my other auctions and eBay store for some great backdrops), then use a sheet, or go to a local fabric store and buy some solid color fabrics for use as backgrounds (avoid patterns and busy designs like the plague! They detract from our images, and look like doo-doo in the final print).
Back to top of page

The Portrait Session: If, for example, we're doing a portrait session, and we only have a background with blues and browns among its prominent colors (like my great "Stormy Weather" background in my eBay store) to work with (hey, not all of us can afford to have dozens of different backgrounds when we're just starting out, y'know), what do we do? That's easy: tell our portrait client to bring two (or more) changes of clothes; in one set of clothes, wear something blue, and in the other set of clothes, bring something brown or gold! This way, we get to make our clients look great using the backgrounds we already have! Also, tell them to bring one dressy outfit, and one casual outfit, so we can get images that show them urbane and sophisticated, and another set of images with them casual and comfortable. Oh yes, and this way we get to sell them twice the number of prints, too! One set for business and impressing folks, and one set showing that they're pretty darn attractive in jeans & cowboy boots, too (or whatever their particular casual attire may be).

Tip 1: Ask the client what they enjoy doing; ask them about their hobbies, their passions, their interests. If they play the guitar, have them bring one along; if they love basketball, have them bring one to the session; if they just adore their dog or cat, bring them, too (more pictures, more poses, equal more SALES!).
Back to top of page

Tip 2: If they have a child, then tell them to bring the child along (unless it's strictly a business sitting, where children would be inappropriate), and bring a couple of sets of clothing for each child. too. Make some exposures (in addition to the standard single-subject portrait poses, of course) with the victim and the child, and some exposures of the child alone. Have the child in dressy clothes for some shots, and in play clothes for another set of shots (film is the cheapest part of your costs, so don't be afraid to use a lot). Then, be SURE to ask the subject to bring the child's grandparents (or uncles & aunts) along to view the prints - I guarantee you, 90% of the time, the grandparents will - at the very least - triple your sale! They just can't resist ordering pictures of their little darlings! A couple of 11 x 14s for the walls in the house (and for the office walls, too); a few 5 x 7s for their relatives, and some wallet-size prints, to carry with them! Remember, you're not only a photographer - you're also in business to make a living (quite a nice living, too, if you use your head)! See my other auctions for some more tips see here .


Explanation: Just in case you were uncertain about what I meant when I said "bring the child's grandparents (or uncles & aunts) along to view the prints," above, here's how it usually works: We do the portrait sessions, where we make all the exposures (take all the pictures). Then, when we get back the proof sheets (or prints) of the photo session, we go over all the pictures and we pick out the best shots (depending upon the reasons for the shoot, and the uses to be made of the final pictures; for example, in student pictures for high school or college yearbooks, we may only want 1 or 2 poses; for private portrait sittings, we may want 5 to 15 poses). We NEVER let our subjects see the shots that came out looking like doo-doo! We show them only the best shots. So, depending upon the requirements of our photo sessions, we choose the very best pictures from the entire shoot (2 or 10 or 20 poses, etc.), and we have our photo lab send us prints of the best shots (usually, I have 1 or two 8 x 10s, 4-6 5 x 7s, and perhaps 3-6 4 x 6s printed). We then put the 8 x 10s and 5 x 7s in beautiful frames, and set the others alongside them. We then call the customer(s) and make an appointment for them to come in to view the pictures (or we can go to the customers place, too). We present them with the best prints and let them "ooh and aah" over their beautiful pictures. Then, we ask them to choose which pictures they want, and at what size they want each pose (11 x 14" or 8 x 10, or 5 x 7, or wallets, etc.). Then we ask which frame they want with their pictures (substantial extra income for us:). Try to invite as many grandparents as possible to the viewing of kid's pix; they spend the most! :-) Then, the most important part of the whole process occurs: our appreciative clients whip out the checkbook, and we run to the bank to collect our well-deserved (and quickly-escalating) fees! Soon, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, and Playboy magazines send us to the world's most beautiful and exotic places (first class, of course), along with a couple of dozen exquisitely beautiful, world-class models to photograph (in various degrees of undress) for them. Fame, wealth, and public adulation, soon follow. Ahh, life is good! But when you're rich and famous, don't forget who helped you get there (little ol' moi), and have the limo driver swing by to pick me up on the way to your next exotic locale. :-)

Quickie Technique #3: Portraits - Set the camera at subject's eye level; focus on the eyes; light one side of the face brighter than the other (half in light to medium shadow); to hide wrinkles use umbrellas or softbox; to de-emphasize a large nose, raise camera level slightly and shoot full or 3/4 face (not profile); to de-emphasize a receding hairline, lower camera slightly or have subject raise head slightly. More "quickie technique" information will be included in other auction descriptions. Thank you for viewing this auction, and good luck! Tell me more about getting perfect exposure...see here

This is probably the greatest beginners Continuous Digital Lighting package you'll ever see for anywhere near this price! Heck, this is the greatest Continuous Lighting package you'll find for any price! And these continuous lights are the finest available anywhere - for any price! This is truly a revolutionary lamp and you just won't believe the exquisite quality - until you open up the package and see for yourself! Of course, I have more powerful 1,000 watt continuous lighting equipment also available in my other eBay auctions, but I assure you, these 650 watt beauties will pump out more light than you're likely to need! Just wait and see.

You'll have everything you'll need to get started in still digital photography, video, or film studio lighting! With TWO exciting, brand new 650 Watt Focusable Digital Continuous Lamps, you'll have plenty of power to light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:) just like a pro. And now - included
FREE are two barndoors AND a fabulous raw muslin background! In addition, you'll have a three great umbrellas to creatively soften the light and effectively help to hide the lines, sags, and wrinkles often found on our older clients (it makes them look younger, more vibrant, and attractive) and umbrella lighting is also great for removing or reducing the reflections from glass, chrome, or any reflective surface; as well as mellowing out the light for detailed product photography! Two Umbrellas are standard Black/White reflection Umbrellas, and the third Umbrella is a fabulous Transparent "Shoot-Through" Umbrella, which functions just like a softbox, so you'll have plenty of choices available in order to create the exact lighting effects you want.

And in addition, you'll have 2 heavy-duty light stands, power cords, bulbs, safety straps and carrying straps (of course). And now you'll also get a fabulous FREE Cell Phone Antenna Booster, too! Whatta fabulous deal! And everything can be stored in the corner of a closet when not deployed in a studio setup. Over all, this is a truly fabulous starter package for an absolutely UNBELIEVABLY low price! You get all this for less than 1/2 of you might pay for just one light from a competing manufacturer or photo supplier. So who da man? "PhotoSource3" on eBay, of course (Photographer's SupplyStation). When you buy from Photographer's SupplyStation ("PhotoSource3" on eBay), you get more than just equipment; you get honesty, integrity, and help, too. Tell me more about photography!
Want similar equipment in a less expensive package? I have both smaller and larger kits available. Want a larger 3, 4 or 5 light kit just like this one, but with carrying cases? Perhaps a strobe or two? Maybe a kit with a background support set, too? Perhaps even an Ultimate 10-light package? These - and many more - are available right now in my other auctions and in my eBay store! Go look now!
Important: I just HATE IT when I buy a "kit" or "package," and then when I receive it, I discover that I can't use it because there's something else I need (usually at a substantial additional cost, too) to make it work (i.e., the "batteries not included" syndrome)! So I'd never do that to my (cherished) customers! With this fabulous package, absolutely everything is included (well, except a camera, film or memory card, and photographer, that is)! When this package arrives, all you'll have to do to start making great photographs, is open it up, unwrap your new goodies, put the lights on the light stands, plug 'em in, point them at your favorite victims, and, baby, just like Elvis, go ahead and rock and roll (fire away)! NO additional equipment or parts are needed to start using your new studio equipment!
