Why do photographers want powerful flash equipment (strobes)? Because (both indoors and outdoors) with strobes, WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! Sound familiar? Starting to get the picture, now? (sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-) BTW, did you realize that both the photo above, and the photo on the left, were both taken against the same background? Yup. The backdrop was a pure white canvas. Why does the picture on the left look like it has a brown background? BECAUSE I COULD CONTROL THE LIGHT. Even with a cheapie old (really old) digital Fuji (no speed control, no slr, no aperture choice, etc.). How? See the "technique section below). Hmmm... Light! |
| Technique: How was I able to make the background that's in the top picture pure white, and the very same background, in the picture above, appear brown? It's easy - when you know how (it's sorta like this: What kind of question is a hard question? Answer: One you don't know the answer to. And what kind of question is an easy question? Answer: That's the one you do know the answer to). Here's how it's done: In the top picture, I lit the background with a backlight strobe (it's own strobe), so it received enough light to expose properly, and consequently it came out pure white. In the picture above, I did not light the background; I just used the tiny little built-in flash on the digital Fuji, which was enough to (barely) light the strobe I was photographing, but too weak to reach or brighten up the backdrop to white; therefore, the background underexposed and looked brownish, even though it was really a pure white canvas! Carried to an extreme, I could even make a white background look black, if I wanted to. How? By lighting the subject so brightly that the (unlit) background would underexpose (i.e., not receive enough light) so badly it would come out black. It's all in the LIGHT folks; it's all in the light! Remember, a photographer is a LIGHT writer. | |
The PS-200 is a "Monolight," which means that all the required components are included in the one package (as opposed to other strobes which may have the flash head in one segment, and then need an additional and separate power supply in order to get it to work; at an additional cost, too). With these units, everything is included; just plug them in, and fire away! The "ready" light goes on to let us know when the strobe is charged and ready to fire; the "test" button lets us fire the strobe to test its proper functioning or to take a meter reading; the "sync" terminal lets us attach a sync (or PC) cord to the sync terminal on our cameras to control the firing of the strobe with the shutter button on our cameras; and the "optical slave sensor" lets us fire the strobe automatically with the flash of any other strobe or flash unit (so we don't have to use a sync cord at all, if we don't want to). The Full/Half Power switch lets us choose the power output with the flip of a switch. The other controls are pretty much self-explanatory. |
||
|
BTW, a "Modeling Light" (see the picture of the modeling light, below) is a separate, additional, light (in addition to the strobe's "Flash Tube") that's built into the strobe and throws continuous light over the same area as the strobe's flash tube will (see the picture below for a close-up). You turn on the modeling light (before your shot), so the photographer can see what the modeling will look like, as s/he adjusts the lights before he takes the shot and fires the strobe ("Modeling" is PhotoSpeak for the highlights (light areas) and shadows (dark areas) that fall upon the subject, giving it the depth and texture necessary for professional results). This great feature (modeling light) is usually only found on much more expensive lights. This unit can be activated by
the PC Cord (included, of course), the Test Button, or the Slave
Sensor (which means that any other flash, even your camera's
little built-in flash, can automatically fire this unit by it's
light alone, so you don't even need to use a sync (PC) cord unless
you want to). BTW, a "PC Cord"
(Push Contact), also called a "Sync Cord"
is a wire that connects the strobe to your camera, and fires
the strobe when you press the camera's shutter button. |

See the image above for a description of each of the controls on the unit. |

We can see the difference between
the Modeling Light Bulb and the Flash Tube (the circular tube
surrounding the modeling bulb) in this close-up shot of the PS-200's
business end (with the reflector removed, of course). The answer was really simple:
You don't. UNLESS your strobes also have MODELING LIGHTS! With
modeling lights, you can see exactly where the strobe's
flash will illuminate the subject, because the modeling light
falls on the subject the same as the strobe's light will fall
on the subject (less intensely, of course)! And this is why the
pros pay lotsa money for good strobes that come with modeling
lights. That's why the professional photographer's pictures look
so much better than ours do: they have the right equipment for
the job! They can CONTROL THE LIGHT! And now, so can you. back up to rear view of PS-200 |
| PhotoSpeak: What's a "Slave Sensor?" Well, if you had to use a PC Cord for every strobe, just think what a mess of tangled wires you'd have if you were using 5 or 6 or more strobes to light your subject (as many pros do)! So, science came to our rescue with slave sensors. It's a tiny little sensor built into most good strobes, that sits & waits for a short, intense burst of light. When it detects this burst of light (the flash from another strobe), it automatically sets off the flash tube in the strobe its built into. Voila! Now, with strobes that have slave sensors (often just called "slaves"), we can connect only one strobe to our cameras (with the PC or Sync cord), usually the strobe closest to our camera, and when we press the shutter button, firing the one connected strobe, that flash will automatically set off all the other strobes we may be using for that shot! Ah, ain't technology wunnerful (sic)? Even most of the little flashes built into most modern cameras can set off most strobes with slaves. A strobe that has PC socket, or both a PC Socket and a slave sensor is called a "Master" strobe; a strobe that only has a slave sensor and no PC socket (usually less expensive units) is called a "Slave." Whichever strobe you're using with a PC cord is referred to as your "master" strobe for purposes of that shot. Most of the better strobes have both PC sockets and slave sensors, so they're more versatile and useful to us (however, there are many very good slaves out there today, and you won't need all your strobes to be masters, so don't hesitate to buy some decent slaves when the time comes - and, believe me, if you stick with photography, the time will come). | |

LIGHT STAND

Quality shows -- when you know what to look for. These air-coushioned, double-braced, rubber-tipped legs are clues to their worth, and their utility will be proven by experience. These will stand up to the rigors of studio use as well as the abuses of travel and location work. Like all the equipment in this listing, the only "cheap" part of these light stands are their price. So why pay more? And beware, gentle photographer, of paying anything less. |
Translucent White "Shoot-Through" Umbrella:
![]() |
Translucent White "Shoot-Through"
Umbrella: 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, or - and here's the true value - to direct our strobe through this umbrella, resulting in a truly fabulous way to soften our light - without losing a few stops of exposure! This is almost the 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 umbrella reflectively, and using the umbrella as "shoot-through." The more tools we have, the more creative we can be, and that's why I include the most valuable photographic tools in these packages. I promise you, studio lighting is a blast, and this little package allows us to greatly improve our photography! And with this kit you have the equipment you'll need for both reflective-umbrella and softbox-style Transparent Shoot-Through lighting! You're getting one of these transparent umbrellas with this great package. |

![]() As these images illustrate, the Translucent "Shoot Thtough" Umbrellas can be used either as a reflection umbrella or as a shoot through umbrella. You get the best of both worlds. And you get it at an unbelievable price, too! |

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 on the phone behind the battery). To be perfectly honest, though (and I always am:), they're nowhere 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:)! |
| Each and every order (placed from this eBay auction listing) will include one FREE Cellular Phone Antenna Booster, and a link where you can download the 500 FREE Web Site Templates. Please understand that you will receive one free antenna booster with your order (regardless of how many kits or packages you may order from a dutch auction). Unlike with 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 (as so many other sellers do) - this is really and truly a FREE bonus! Wondering if my products are really as good as they sound? Just check my feedback for assurance, and see for yourself! | |

Sync
(or PC) Cords These are used to attach one of our strobes to the sync plug on our cameras when we don't want to use the camera's built-in flash to trigger our strobes via their slave sensors. |

holders, and light stand connections too! Everything you'll need
is included, so when your new photographic equipment arrives,
all you'll have to do is unpack them, put the strobe on the light
stand, plug it in, point the strobe at your victim,(s) and rock
& roll (fire away)! Unlike some other lighting equipment

or accessories are needed to start using this equipment within
a few minutes after it arrives! Back to top of page |

| NOTE: It has become virtually impossible to keep all the pictures of every item in every one of the many different kits up to the moment; manufacturers are changing the products almost weekly now, and with the hundreds of kits and packages i have listed, keeping every image in every kit updated just isn't something that's possible any more. Also, there just isn't enough room to show every single item that's in a kit in the Gallery Images, and sometimes an item in the Gallery Picture is no longer included in the kit (usually because it's been replaced with a superior product). So please be sure to see the "Contents" lists in the kit descriptions for the actual contents of each package or kit (I've made these lists very large, and placed them in bright yellow boxes (like this one), so it's almost impossible to miss them, and placed contents lists at the Top and then again at the Bottom of every kit description).

This is a Great starter Portrait Studio setup, for an amazing price! You'll have what you'll need to start getting great portraits (also great for product photography)! With a powerful 120WS Master strobe, you'll be able to appropriately light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:), which will allow you to get professional-level results with the necessary interplay of light and shadow, resulting in the depth and texture characteristic of pro portraits. Also, professional strobes (like this) come with all the bells and whistles already built-in - like what, you may ask? Like Modeling Lights, (see here and here), variable power with the flip of a switch, removable and interchangeable umbrella-capable reflectors, and the capability of using an almost infinite variety of light modifiers (such as umbrellas, softboxes, SoftCases, snoots, honeycombs, etc.). In addition, you'll have a Light Stand for your strobe, AND a Translucent "Shoot-Through" Umbrella to creatively soften the light and effectively help to hide the lines, sags, and wrinkles often found on our older victims (it makes them look younger, more vibrant, and attractive - and often results in the photographer being called names, like "Artist" and "Genius" :). Umbrellas are also great for photographing reflective surfaces; they cut down on or eliminate the "hot spots" on glass, chrome, oil paintings, and on virtually all similar reflective surfaces). And in addition, you'll also receive an umbrella-capable reflector with the strobe, and all necessary sync cords, power cords, and bulbs. Over all, this is a fabulous professionsal-level starter package which will give you what you need to start you off in portraiture or product photography, and is infinitely upgradable! Unlike other kits, this starts you at the pro level, and allows you to expand whenever you like - without being stuck with amateur equipment that you wasted your money on. And you get all this for less than one-HALF of what you'd pay for just one single strobe from a competing manufacturer (and less than a dinner would cost you at a nice restaurant - and this professional lighting equipment is absolutely guaranteed to last longer than any dinner you'll ever have ;-). |
