I honestly cannot remember the last time I did a little video piece for myself, just cause I felt like it.
So in order to learn new techniques with my camera I’ve decided to by some new stuff, well deciding really. I’ve been deciding for a while now on what to get next. Bag, another flash, softbox, better camera, a different lens, etc… the list could go on really. I’ve decided that a softbox is most likely what I want to get next. That was easy, now which one. I’m going to bring it with me most places, so portability is nice, but being on a budget like myself price is going to win. I know it’s not probably very sustainable of me to buy cheap crap from china, but I have yet to make money from taking pictures, so I don’t feel to bad if I don’t by “brand name” stuff. I ran across a softbox on cowboystudio.com, looks like a knockoff of the Lastolite EZYBOX, but at over half the price, looks like it’s the option for me. I was also looking at the 28″ Westscott Apollo (Zach Araias digs these too, from what I can tell), not a bad price for a bigger softbox and might possibly be next on the list of things to buy. Well I’m going to buy this thing today, probably, at least by the end of the weekend. I’ll post some results when I get the goods.
