Elinchrom you make me sad

Hi everyone, no photo today, just me a little upset. I ordered and got in the mail today my Skyport universal/transmitter receiver kit. I was happy as can be. Well up until the point I realized it didn’t come with a sync cable for my hotshoe flash. Yes I was a bit miffed about it, but the again the more I thought about it why would they want to promote its usage with a hot shoe flash. I mean seriously they make excellent strobes so why wouldn’t I buy one of those. Oh yeah I know it is WAY out of my price range. Though I have considered purchasing a Ranger RX or Quadra set. I suppose I’ll need to save up some money for that, on account that stuff is WAY expensive for a budget photographer. I suppose this whole photography thing has always been pretty expensive. But we all knew that, right?

Changing things up

Hi everyone, I’m sure you’ve ALL been wondering what we’ve been up to here at good old TiNi Images. :-) Actually we’ve been pretty busy and have decided to try adding to our collection of works. We recently had a chance to work with someone who was gracious enough to let us take her picture. One of the first things we want to say is that the entire shoot was done with minimal amount of photo gear.

  • Nikon D300 w/MB-D10 battery back
  • Nikon 18-200mm 3.4 len w/hood
  • Lastolite 24″x24″ Ezybox hotshoe softbox
  • Nikon SB-800 Speedlight (used in the softbox)
  • SD-8A Speedlight battery pack

Ya see…not so much stuff.

Until next time,

The Safari Truck

Hi everyone, its been awhile since we’ve posted. Mostly because I’ve been working on a side project and I’m not sure if its something we will be posting here. However, while working on this side project we came across this Photoshop plugin called Topaz Adjust. WOW, this thing is way slick. I’ll save you all the technical speak, take a look the image below. It will give you a sense of what it can do. Oh and yeah, that is an African Safari looking truck. We were at a place called – well “Out of Africa Safari” its a pretty cool place at Camp Verde, AZ. Anyways check out Topaz Labs, I mean that’s why I’m actually writing this post. :-)

Until next time,
