New Equipment

For those of you who are technically minded out there with regards to photography equipment, last Saturday (at Lizzie & Sven's wedding), I tried out my brand new 'Elinchrom Ranger' ring light, fitted to a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 lens.

What a fantastic piece of kit! I tried it with the couple up close to a wooden door, against a knurled oak tree and in open spaces. The light was perfect and no shadows anywhere.

It is a rather bulky item when fitted to a pro camera body. The battery pack, which is separate, is bulk & heavy and although it can be used hand-held, I would recommend using a tripod for stability and sharpness.

Another benefit of having two photographers meant I could concentrate on this set-up (for the romantic shots) whilst Wendy continued with the normal pics.

Once the couple have returned from honeymoon and seen there photographs, I will post a couple of examples.
