Want a whole professional Fifty lamp, 50,000 watt photographic/digital lighting studio in one dynamic kit? Maybe just background support set? Perhaps a New , powerful strobe/flash package? Only a light or two? Something really, really special for the photographer you love with all your heart (like, perhaps, yourself:)? Look no further!

You can find ALL these things right now in my other auctions (except for the luscious lovely to the left; I'm gonna keep that one for myself:)

<-Looks almost like natural light, doesn't it? Not completely! Professional lighting made this lovely image better. The give-away? The main light looks like it's coming from the left (which it is - for the main light - a window), but look at the catch lights in her eyes! That's coming from 2 lights; one just behind and (barely) to the right of the camera, and the other just to the left of the camera! Another light to the right (the model's left) of the face opened up the shadows to provide a more pleasing result. From now on, whenever you're looking at pictures in magazines, notice the eyes for clues to the lighting setup - and where the catch lights appear in the models' eyes. The secret to ALL magnificent images? That's an easy one; it's the LIGHTING! A photographer is a LIGHT writer! See below for more information and lotsa photographic tips and tricks...

 Here's a FABULOUS New Digital Studio Package! All BRAND NEW!

These are truly revolutionary lamps - each one comes with TWO Independently-Controlled 300 Watt Bulbs! You can turn on one bulb for 300 watt output, or, with the flip of a switch, turn on the second bulb and Double the Power to 600 Watts (from each light)! This gives us wonderful control over our lighting, providing you with a broad range of variable wattage output from 300 watts to 3,600 watts.

This is without a doubt one of the the most exciting new lighting breakthroughs since sliced bread! Will these new dual-bulb lights make all others obsolete? Maybe. Maybe not. But owning a few certainly couldn't hurt, huh? And this is one of the best Continuous Digital Lighting packages you're ever likely to see for anywhere near this price! And these revolutionary new dual-bulb continuous lights are among the greatest values available anywhere! Don't believe me? Just go check my feedback and see for yourself. The dual-bulb capability makes for fast and easy lighting setups; turn both bulbs on to light the highlight side of your victim, and use only one bulb for the fill (shadow) side of your subject for perfect lighting ratios (in portraiture, we often use full power for the highlight side of the face, and 50% power on the fill side - and with these great lamps we can get perfect Full/Half lighting ratios with the simple flip of a switch). Add to that the ability to perfectly focus the light wherever you want, and you end up with a truly fabulous photographic lighting studio - right out of the box! Owning this package is like owning two sets of lights! One set of six 300 watt lights, and one set of six 600 watt lights, giving us light output from 300 watts to 3,600 watts. What more can we ask for, regarding control, versatility and usefulness from our studio lighting setup?

And this kit gives you the Six lights needed for top-notch professional results - three to light your subject(s) from opposing sides and above, a two for backlighting to provide depth and separation between subjects and backgrounds, and to "blow away" all the ugly shadows that plague and ruin our amateur images and videos, and sixth light for a catchlight to give the bright spot in the eyes! These lights pump out 3200K lighting - perfectly balanced light for digital cameras and camcorders (film users simply use tungsten film or an 81a filter for perfect color rendition).

Whether you're doing portraiture, product photography, video productions, or movies, these fabulous lamps will work wonders for you - at a price that's truly great! And unlike strobes, with continuous lighting equipment such as this, you can see exactly what your subject will look like before you make the exposure or video! A Godsend for the beginner, and an easy shoot for the professional. Hot damn, you're just gonna love these lights - everybody does (just check my feedback and see for yourself). And this package provides all the extras you'll need for a fully-functioning lighting studio - pumping out 300 to 3600 watts!

PLUS, in addition to all the fabulous lighting equipment in this package, you also get some very valuable and helpful extras - for FREE! That's right, free. Like what? How about 500 professional web site templates to make your web site look great. And a Cell Phone Antenna Booster to pull in those weak signals on your cell phone - also free! Just two more reasons to order your lighting equipment from PhotoSource3, right here on eBay.

This great package will get you started in digital photography, videography, or film studio lighting with fabulous, brand new Digital Continuous Lamps. Plus, you'll have plenty of power to light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:) just like a pro. And this whole kit can be easily stored in any corner or closet when not deployed in a studio setup. Over all, this is a truly fabulous kit for an absolutely UNBELIEVABLY low price! And you get this for less than 1/2 of you might pay for similar lights 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.

After all, folks, the word "photographer" itself (from Greek) actually means Light Writer, or "one who writes with light."

The term is meaningful because those of us who make photographs, videos, and movies are slaves to light. Light is both our nemesis and our salvation (when we can control the light). Without the right types of lighting equipment, we can never progress to professional level images and videos.

Why do photographers want professional lighting equipment so badly? Why are they willing to spend the baby's food money on them? Because (both indoors and outdoors) with our lighting equipment, WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! Sound familiar? Starting to get the picture, now? (sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-)

Yes, until now, photogs DID have to spend a small fortune on lighting equipment - but not any more - as you can clearly see from my super-low prices! And as you can also see (from the images above and to the left), this Powerful Three/Six Hundred Watt Quartz-Halogen Lamp comes fully equipped!

Notice the Focusing Tracks on this light? This is how the bulbs can slide forwards or backwards.This allows us to focus the light at the specific spot we want!. A capability that few other digital lights in this price range have. So who da man? ;-)

The softbox also gives us a choice of how much we want to "soften" our light. Sometimes one screen will be perfect for our needs; other times, we may want to mellow the light out a little more, and if so, we use both the inner and outer screens. The reason the pictures from professional photographers end up looking so great, is because they have the tools to do the job right. And now, so can you.

As you can see from this picture, the Softbox gives you the choice of three different levels of light: using both screens results in a soft, mellow light with low contrast between the highlights and the shadows; using only the internal screen gives us slightly higher contrast and darker shadows; and removing both screens creates high-contrast, directional lighting.

In this image, the outer screen is peeled back to expose the inner screen. As you work with softboxes, you'll get to know when to use one screen, when to use both screens, or none at all. Not all softboxes come with this added capability, so be sure to ask about it (if you're foolish enough to buy your lighting equipment somewhere else, that is). ;-)

CUSTOM CARRYING CASES FOR SOFTBOXES

The softboxes are truly wonderful helpers in virtually all areas of the visual arts, and as such should be in every photographer and videographer's studio lighting toolbox. But another wonderful capability of the top-quality softboxes included in this fabulous package is their ability to be quickly and easily disassembled, and packed up into a tiny little custom carrying case! Consequently, I've included a custom carrying case for each and every softbox included in this great kit!

Here's a fabulous deal on excellent quality, heavy-duty 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 a set of three stands for under 10 lbs. 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 5 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 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 almost all 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.

Barndoors

The Barndoors, which have four full flaps, and are removable, mount on the front of the lights. Barndoors allow us to direct the light anywhere our creative little photographic hearts desire! We can keep them wide open, or close them down to a little slit when we want to highlight a specific portion of our subject. One of the more useful light-modifying devices in the well-equipped photographer's toolbox.

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, or maybe even ten dollars each (as others are doing) and probably have made a great profit on them - but I'm NOT the average eBay seller 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? ;-)
