Ok,
So I have used up the life in my old studio strobes and got tired of looking for a place to have them serviced. Yes, they are just old enough not to nbe self servicable. As it turns out it's a good thing, becvause I decided to purchace new ones. I even ordered them over night express..LOL..I hate waiting.
I cant wait for the new pics, I am shooting Saturday in studio and I know the newer lights will only add to my arsenal of tools.
Oh yeah..Happy Happy Joy Joy..

I gotta use that retort sometime soon!
I got Alien Bees..
A slew of em...
I figured I'd do some over kill..
I am pretty much ordering their entire line over the next month. Plus I have my eyes on some other stuff. I ned to do some research. As we all know, Lighting is everything. My current strobes have been on the way out for months now. It's amazing I've gotten the shots I did.
I cant wait to have fully functioning equipment again...Hell yeah!

I have four of them here in my little 15x15 studio, you'll love 'em. I just bought the battery pack so I can bring a few on location shoots, like a beach shoot I have this weekend.
If you have a camera flash that you can diffuse and turn down manually to almost no power, you don't even need synch cords.
Also, replace the modeling light bulbs with some 2-year 60W-100W Halogens, they'll run cooler, brighter, and a little closer in color to the strobes.
I recommend the Avenger stands, BTW, instead of the Bee stands. I have two Bee stands but only use them for background lights.
