Hey man…
I’m bout to start taking pictures for a night club in 2 days. But it will have my set-up in the corner taking pictures and printing them out and selling them. What type of lighting do you recomend? I have a Nikon D40X. I really want to know if I can use heat lights instead of strobe flashes.

the brand doesnt matter, but a rebel is definitely not as good a 10d,so it is for sure an upgrade, plus pentax have some of the sharpest results ive ever seen.

well spotgreen, codiac2600 doesn’t have to worry about those god forsaken “error 99″ messages, he has body based image stabilisation in his camera which makes every lens stabilised, thus not having to spend rip off prices for a stabilised lens, he has real weather sealing, which only the higher priced Canon’s have. Plus he gets to use Pentax lenses, so yeah it’s a real upgrade.

how can changing from a Canon to a Pentax be called an “upgrade”?

What lense are you using? Size?

how do you prevent your lens getting steamed up?
Because my lens got steamed up before I even took one shot!

Good stuff – I’ll pass this along to all my newsletter subscribers.

That was really informative Codiac. Thanks a lot.
Sorry to echo something that’s been said already, but the wireless transmitters… Couldn’t quite catch the name of the place. A push in the right direction would be appreciated.
peace & keep up the good work

Where can I buy that diffuser? Its not the regular cloudsphere, and gary wong’s website doesn’t show that style. Also all the wireless transmitters have a ton of hardware they come with. Yours was two peices that just snapped on. What specific brand is the one you are using? Awesome videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge
July 12th, 2009 at 12:53 am
So you don’t get any bad reflection on the lens caused by the flash… Or the sun..
July 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
hi, I can’t find the shop you said you got the wireless flash trigger kit from, what make/model are they?
July 13th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Help: I am the beginner photographer in question. I need to know how to take room pictures as good as appear in glamour/pornography? Specifically I need to know if there is a set apperture/shutter speed ratio, etc.
I am only using 500w tungsten lights at the moment and as was adivised, blue filters. But experiments are not good…
Are reflectors absolutely necessary? Thanks
July 16th, 2009 at 4:25 am
i don’t really know why is that plastic “ring” on the lens…
July 18th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Oh nevermind. I see that you don’t want to use the flash on body.
July 19th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Good info.
Just curious. Why did you decide to buy a separate wireless kit when the K10D has built in wireless? Was it slower or something? You can even use the on-camera flash as well as two wireless I believe.

Excellent dude – I shoot in night clubs / live events / bars and clubs as well and everything you say is 100% right on- I also use my PK10D as well….. thanks for the video!!
