Light Blaster Part 2 … Tips and tricks.

By Scott Lewis on October 4, 2013

Here are a few things I have noticed about using the Light Blaster over the last week of playing around with it. If you have any other recommendation/ideas please let me know.

Light Blaster Creative Kit (printed transparencies)- Effects

Light Blaster turns your system flash into a portable slide projector allowing you to project slide images onto or behind your subject. In consideration of the vast amount of existing slides, the potential of Light Blaster is infinite.

Tanja (Light Blaster part 1 intro and basics)

By Scott Lewis on October 2, 2013

The Light blaster is a portable adapter that allows you project 35mm slides using your system flash. A few years ago I remember seeing something similar and thought it was a fun idea (more about that latter). Recently I saw it in the catalogue from Enjoy Your Camera and had to try it out.

This was my first real shoot with the light blaster, I have tested it a bit over the last week but wait to blog any thing until I had really put it through good test.

By Scott Lewis on September 25, 2013

I have shot together a few times with Carola this year, and a few months ago she suggested that Alessandro wanted to do something different.

Horror Movie….

By Scott Lewis on August 14, 2013

Well this was one of those shoots that I will never forget. I had wanted to do a 1950’s B / Horror shoot for a while now, but Murphy’s law kicked in and the chaos ensued….

By Scott Lewis on July 17, 2013

RoundFlash Mobile Softbox

By Scott Lewis on July 11, 2013

And I have a new toy to write about. The RoundFlash Mobile Softbox 45 cm is the first real solution I have found for converting your system flash into a ring flash. I have tried a few different variations over the years but was never happy with the results. After we all had a play with Toms one way back at the Palm Valley shoot, 10 of us put our money together and bought in bulk….

Karlsruhe 1932 … Part 2

By Scott Lewis on June 28, 2013

This may be the last batch of scans for a while, as the rest of the glass negatives are either highly over or under exposed. The standard software that comes with my scanner isn’t the best. It looks like i will probably have to invest in Silverfast or some thing similar.

Karlsruhe 1932 … Part 1

By Scott Lewis on June 27, 2013

Recently we were at “my Wife’s, Uncle’s, Partner’s birthday”. During dinner she remarked “Scott I have something for you”…. My ears picked up and was curious as to what she had. It turns out she was cleaning out her cupboards and found a box of 100 old glass negatives of Karlsruhe (the city in Germany where we live). The photos were taken by her long dead husbands farther. i.e my Wife’s, Uncle’s, Partner’s, ex- Farther in-law.
