[REVIEW:] Zeh Bounce pop-up flash reflector review – Photo-Tips
Viewed 40 times
Zeh Bounce from Zeh Photographic is a reflector for the built-in (pop-up) flash of your SLR camera. Pop-up flashes usually produce unpleasant results because they are small in size and positioned very closely to the lens axis. Zeh Bounce redirects the light from your pop-up flash towards the ceiling, which creates more natural results since the light source is located above the subject. — Photo-Tips Online

[REVIEW:] “Photo Recipes Live: Behind the Scenes: Your Guide to Today’s Most Popular Lighting Techniques” – Brian D. Reed
Viewed 43 times
If you were to ask a photographer the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the name Scott Kelby, the response most of the time will be Photoshop. This is because Scott Kelby is, in the opinion of the author as well as many others, the world’s foremost expert on Adobe Photoshop. He is the gentleman that a lot of photographers turn to for tutorials or learning how to create certain looks to their images once the frames have been captured. Scott Kelby, again in the opinion of the author, is the best source of information and the first this author turns to. — Brian D. Reed

[REVIEW:] Impact EX100A Monolight Kit Review – Eric (Photography Bay)
The Impact EX100A is a basic 100 watt monolight that’s available from B&H Photo. The EX100A is also available in a 2 monolight kit with 24″ softboxes, an umbrella, light stands and a carry case.
The EX100A 2-light kit was my first experience with using monolights, and for the $200 I spent on it, I have been pretty pleased. Sure, it’s not AlienBees, Elinchrom or anything fancy, but not everyone needs (or can afford) those brands. — Eric

[REVIEW:] Elinchrom EL Skyport Wireless System Review – Patrick (Neutralday)

If you’re exploring the art of off-camera lighting, eventually you’re going to run into the problem of how to trigger those flashes from your camera, and preferably, how to do it without wires. The issues are two-fold. First you could continue to use either your pop-up flash, an external master flash connected to the hot shoe, or commander unit on your camera, but eventually you’ll run into line of site issues. In other words, for your pop-up flash to trigger an external flash, it has to “see” your pop-up send its signal. — Patrick

[REVIEW:] Let Me Light the Way – Jason Alexander (Canon Blogger)
It’s kind of funny how things go in circles. As a regular reader of the Strobist website (as I am sure many of you are), I found it interesting that David was covering the RayFlash from ExpoImaging and comparing it to other styles of ringflahses over the last couple of days. The reason for my interest – today I am actually going to share with you some thoughts on the RayFlash specifically. — Jason Alexander

[REVIEW:] Thin and Bright: Rosco LED LitePads – Isaac Stackell (B&H Photo Video)
LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting systems continue to grow in popularity as power output increases and prices proportionately decrease. The market is crowding as more manufacturers jump onto the LED beam, but Rosco LitePads, marketed in the northeast US by Visual Departures (shout-out to Alan Greene and Peter Levitt) are unique.
The Rosco High Output (HO) LED LitePads were introduced in 2008 as an improvement over their already revolutionary DL series, which are still available. The Rosco LitePad System is comprised of very thin (only 1/3" thick) daylight balanced LED acrylic panels. These are available singly in square and rectangular sizes ranging from 3×3" to 24×24", and in a 3" circular model, each including its own compact power supply. They are also available in a 6-fixture Quick Kit, and 12-fixture Gaffers Kit. Both kits include brackets, eggcrates, a dimmer switch, splitters, extension cables, AA battery adapter, car adapter, XLR adapter, Anton Bauer adapter, gel packs, and a waterproof Pelican-brand ‘wheelie’ case. — Isaac Stackell
