Awesome. Then build one of these and go mobile with the whole deal.


I think I'll just start working on my upper body strength.

Now that I think about it, this rig is pretty impressive too.

WARNING: Evidently some workplace content filters find pictures of asian women photographing people while wearing ridiculous lighting headgear pornographic and may block it, maybe even flag you so you can have a little sitdown with HR. Possibly they'll just come to your office and shoot you in the head or poison your sushi with polonium 210.

Great. Thanks for getting me to a 'blocked for pornographic content' page, early in the day.

In Spazmo's defense, the pornographic content is by no means obvious from the pages he was pointing toward. It's "there", but he's not linking to porn.

I have no idea. I cant see them. Now you are embedding direct links to sites that people's filters think are porn sites. Want to edit those and maybe stick a warning on the link too ? :)

Wow. Now I'm implicated in a case of multiple copyright violations and image theft. This day just gets better and better ;)

I think if I ran around after children, in a park, in America (the land of the free to arrest you and detain you for looking at children) with that hat/ umbrella deal on, I'd be getting asked some questions.

Ah well, I only violated the pornographers rights for a few moments so you could see them.

You might get asked some questions, but as long as you were clothed, you might escape with just a beating.

can you violate a pornographer?

from my bio: Biography: I've just recently learned that in "Nude Photography" it's the models that are supposed to be nude. Don't make the same mistake I did. Very Embarrassing.

Good question.

That has to be the coolest thing EVER. I'd use one, but it is often quite windy here. I just don't know if I want to make that trip to the ER for having my neck sprain from a sudden gust.

Anyway, I do a lot of portraiture with only a Lightsphere and available light. Keep in mind I'm usually on location, whether it be a wedding or some type of boudior shoot.

Seems to have all up side and no down side - nice hands free setup, gets strangers to smile at you, amuses little kids and from the first pic anyway, seems to be very effective.

Er... Hold, I think I just thought of the downside.... :-)

Right so I should be buying some kind of helmet and attaching an umbrella to it. Wow im sorted:P

Thanks guys heh.

On serious note, Prof_Fate I think thats all all perhaps a bit too much for me, I think I will maybe get some basics as people have suggested at some point.

The point on what sort of portraiture I want to shoot is a good point, bit of everything really, prolly glamour on the majority though.

I think for now as alot of people have suggested that I just need to get to know how light works and play with what I've got.

I might buy some foam or a reflector or something. I dont think I can afford an external flash this year (good thing year is almost over, i can justify it next year:P)

Thanks again for advice:) I shall keep investigating and experimenting.

As for lighting...you can do what I did. I went out and got two 500W halogen work lights and a 250 halogen work light (for background lighting).....Then decide to shoot all your shots outside just using natural sunlight. Always a good idea.

Granted all the lights that I got only cost a total of about $40.
