I needed to get some shots for the new Photo Basics StrobeLites and Christopher needed some new shots so it made for a perfect combination. We got some awesome images out of the shoot that I just had to get posted right away. Christopher was super cool to work with and I can’t wait to do some location shooting with him in the near future.
We just got in the new Photo Basics StrobeLites to start checking out for an upcoming review that will appear soon on Camera Dojo. So far these monolights seem to be the perfect combination of features and price point. At around $650 for a three light system, this puts high quality lighting into the hands of almost anyone that can afford a DSLR. Also included is a floor mat to help with light placement and an instructional DVD. Here are a few shots that are of the lights themselves and were also lit with the lights.
I actually got my start doing product photography and still enjoy doing it whenever possible, I actually still do quite a lot and was one of the main reasons for building a home studio. This weekend I got in a small project for VOIPSpeak to shoot a new wireless phone. Nothing overly special but I like letting people know I still enjoy product photography.

Friends of mine have heard me talk about the Holy Jim trail as being one of my favorite hiking spots in Orange County. The real appeal of this spot is that it is a very woodsy environment with nice stream, several waterfalls, great scenery, and although you will end up walking eight miles, many people from young kids to senior citizens to the hike easily every weekend and all of this right in central Orange County just minutes from the hustle and bustle of homes and businesses. If this sounds like something you want to try for yourself, then read the complete story to find out how to get there and what to expect.
