New Toy Alert.

[Paul Sharman]

Arrived today.
A secondhand but still very shinny , Ikelite Ds125,Arm, Slave controller and all the bits.

Now I am relay looking forward to all the LOUSY under / over exposed and total mess ups, while I learn how to use the darn thing

Me thinks the photo bug has bitten.

Must have! I'm even looking forward to jumping in a puddle. :P :P

All those little Dials and things

Cheers.
Paul.

ps. might pop back to ask the odd question

Ooh very nice - let the frustration begin

An external strobe will certainly improve the quality of your shots no end - but gosh its a learning curve and a half.

Looking forward to the pics Paul.

Never to young to learn, just takes longer at my age :P
Cheers.

I was going to buy a new camera this year, but instead I went the 2nd strobe route - and I think it was definitely the right decision.

Not that I've a fancy DS125, out of my price range, instead I've a pair of old Ikelite Ai's (eBay, £70, plus £30 for a service for the second, the other was from my Nik V kit) and Matthias Heinrichs adapters. Not much adjustability, but lovely light!

Hi Mike,
Thanks for all your replay's!

Two Strobes, jeepers am having enough fun with 1 just now!!

I now what you mean by the lovely light, on the couple of occasions i managed more by luck than judgment to take a half descent pic the color definition is Fantastic!!

Cheers.
Paul.
