The Weddings website is still being re-modelled, but is likely to be back on-line before the 5th October. This will complete the re-modelling of all four websites to give them all a shared look and identity.

New flash equipment should arrive over the next few weeks. This includes the latest in ring flash technology developed by a professional photographer from the Czech Republic.  It uses a clever system of internal prisms and reflectors to distribute the light emitted from the flash unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter. This creates a very special lighting effect: a “3-d shadow-wrapped look”.  Because all light originates from the front, ie from around the lens, it produces a virtually shadowless look on the front of the subject, while a soft, even shadow appears around the edges. It is ideally suited for fashion, portrait and beauty images as a main light or fill-in. (UPDATE - Apparently delayed now till mid October)

Nikon D3 is on order! OK, I know I said I would wait till January, but I’ve seen enough reviews from Pro shooters I trust, and I’ve seen the images (including some very tasty high ISO shots). This camera will be destined for my wedding and portrait work at first. If it’s as good as I think it is, a second one will likely replace my D2Hs.

This first one will replace my D2X.
