Available Light or Flash - The age old debate.

May 23, 2020 in Tutorial, Philosophy

It is often written or posted as Natural / Available light VS Flash like they are two things at constant war with each other.

I do not get it. It’s almost as bad and boring as Canon V Nikon.

To say that one is better than the other or debate which is better is silly and a waste of time.  They both have a place and in my opinion it’s a good idea to know how to use both.

People in Facebook groups go at it discussing which is best or argue that their arch enemy don’t know what they are doing.  Sigh.

Think that flash is the bee’s knees and think you are not doing anything with available light when running flash .. wrong.

Think natural or available light is the only true way to shoot… wrong.  Try shooting that window light at 9pm at night.
As a photographer you should have both in your tool kit, why?

Pixapro CITI 1200 Pro – First Look

April 10, 2020 in Gear

Pixapro kindly sent over an early unit of their CITI 1200 Pro Pack & Head flash and it’s a monster.  With 1200ws of power it is ready to tackle any job you can throw it’s way.

When I first heard about this unit being developed, I was not sure why. I mean we have the CIT 600, CITI 600 Dual head and the new CITI 400/600 Pro units. Who would need such a pack?

Then I thought about it some more.

Gear Review - Pixapro S-Type SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket (V2)

April 05, 2020 in Gear

After a few years of using the version one of this Bowens S-Mount bracket for my speedlites and Pika 200’s I have come to rely on them for wedding, event and location work.

It is great for holding a speedlite and also allowing you to use Bowens fit modifiers such as softboxes with them also. They will also hold the Pika 200 so you have a bare bulb option for your larger modifiers, it is however a tight fit.
