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 Powerful
650 Watt Quartz-Halogen Lamp comes equipped with ALL the extras!
It has built-in aimong handle, which allows you to control
exactly where you want to put that light, built-in carryi
handle, built-in light stand attachment, built-in
safety latch, PLUS something almost NO OTHER DIGITAL LAMP HAS:
the ability to FOCUS the light at the EXACT POINT YOU WANT Notice the "Focusing
Knob? So who da man?
;o)
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! 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 light onto the opposite side of your subject!

|
| This
same quartz-halogen light is being sold under another brand name
for over $300.00 for the lamp head alone! Why pay almost double for the SAME item? Huh? Well,
huh? Sheesh! |
 |
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 the custom barndoors (a $49.95 value)
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!
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! |

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.

Here's
some information about the items comprising
your new starter studio: Brand New 2.8 to 6.5 Foot
Light stand
| 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 feet; Weight: 2.4 lbs. ea. |
|
Here's a fabulous deal on
an excellent quality light stand. This Brand New Britek light
stand extends to a height of 7 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 a year 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 6.5 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. 6.5 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.

You're getting
One brand new 6 1/2 Foot Light stand with this kit!
Here's
some information about the items comprising
your new studio package: Accessories & Information
 |
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!
These barndoors usually sell for 49.95, but are included with
this light FREE! |

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

| Each
and every order (placed from this eBay auction listing)
will include one FREE
Cellular Phone Antenna Booster. Please understand that you will
receive one free antenna booster with your order
(regardless of how many kits or items you may order from a dutch
auction). Unlike with so many other sellers, this is not
a gimmick - there's no "catch," there
are no additional costs to you, there are no additional
"shipping" or "handling" charges tacked on
- this is really and truly a FREE bonus! Wondering if

Unbelievable
as may be, there's NO
reserve on this great
kit!
(Similar
packages from competing manufacturers sell for double, triple,
and sometimes even more!)
For LESS than $170 you can own this
brand new pro kit! |
Unbelievable, true,
but you could end up owning this great professional beginner's
digital continuous light kit for ONLY $169.00! That's less
than One-Half of what you'd pay for just a single light
head (without barndoors) from a competing manufacturer or
photo supplier! My goodness, folks, that's less than a dinner
will cost you at nice restaurant (and this pro light will last
you a lot longer than a dinner will:). But these go fast! So order now!

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!).

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
