1. Gabi
2. Jupiter, FL
3. A tiny light that could be attached to a light stand/monopod (maybe a clamp?) that could help my assistant do two things…
A. Aim the modifier, and
B. Serve as an alternative to my on-camera autofocus assist illuminator.
1. Chris
2. Bloomington, IN
3. I would be hard pressed to improve on the products that I have used, though the shafts on the umbrellas could be a bit stiffer (The pencil trick works fine too!)
1. Mark
2. York, UK
3. I’ll agree with better local availability for us European types, but I’d add an intermediate size Apollo softbox, or some internal grid/waffers to go inside (hard with the way
yours work but hey you’re clever folks over there)
3. I only have experience with removable back umbrellas and one thing that would help me is markings along the shaft as reference points for consistent setups from location to location.
1: John
2: Kennewick, WA
3: Being perennially out of studio storage space I appreciate anything that collapses small but is still ridiculously fast to set up. Applies to softboxes, reflectors, etc.
Hey guys, could we get some clarification on whether you will actually allow people from outside the US to win, and any T’s and C’s on that? Just for future reference!
Yes – people outside the US are able to win. But all winners are chosen randomly. Please notice there was a winner from the United Kingdom this BOW Contest.
We were so thrilled to be a part of your fantastic Shootout this year! Everyone was so wonderful and we are loving the images coming back from all of the great Photographers! A big Thank You from Barbour Backdrops to the entire Westcott Family!
