Some cool light painting on this guys site. Tryin to get some ideas for the weekend

Check out Star Wars vs Star Trek on YouTube. Thats what I want to try out this weekend.

I have kind of figured out how the guy has made those balls but not sure if its the same way.

you gotta have some balls to pull that off

I think it's more like a swingball stand with a torch taped to a model airplane which is tied to the end of the piece of rope

Same concept as I thought.

=Matt 'Photog' Peters;9545766]First person to clumb him round the back of the head at the weekend gets an orange Starburst!

that seems a bit harsh. Should at least be worth a red starbust. (In fact they should still be called opal fruits!!!)

theyre just technicalities

Starting to get really frustrated now! My Belkin wireless router keeps dropping internet connection almost every minute.
Never happened before, just started this morning. I have tried changing channels etc in case a new wireless connection has been installed in the area, but that hasn't worked.

This thing is going to go out of the window very soon!

There is just no logic to it!

I was thinking mini maglite on a bit of string as they have string loops on.

great pic Hayden well captured!

So...
Saturday, I need to help the missus make a Ipod cake in the morning bout could come out from 2 ish until sunset has gone (5ish?)

How does that work for anyone else? I know Ian may have to pull out, I was contemplating going to a comon/park somewhere rather than central london to concentrate on some portable lighting techniques, rather than fighting all the public/security.

I'm not overly worried about getting any specific shot/scenery but keen to learn/play with kit.

I'm happy with doing the Subway, as long as I don't get all my gear wet again!

That's my preferred option.

re site, take a backup for your database and send me the file or a link to it. I have an idea how I 'might' be able to resolve it. I'll have a quick look tonight.

cheers mate, the backup option via the backup didn't seem to work last night. I'll try it again but if not I'll do it via my server backend.

I'll try and find a willing model for tomorrow, gonna do my CV aswell later. gonna be a busy afternoon. gotta fit in washing and ironing in there somewhere too!

I wish my boss would go home so I can slope off.

Do you know for certain it's your router? If not, have you called your ISP to see if they are having issues? There may just be an issue with the card you are connected to in the exchange. To reset your connection, switch off the router and unplug the router from your wall socket for 40 mins minimum. Plug it back in, turn on the router and your connection should be reset.

If that does not work, I have a couple of spare router here you can try to rule out your gear.

Light Ball? Piffle!! I expect stuff more like Michael Bosanko's work: http://www.michaelbosa​nko.com/

Right need some help .. The family I shot for like this pic, but I stupidly left my flash by his left side and forgot to turn it off!!

As you can see it has blown out his left side, they want it printed on canvas and would look pants as it is.. Any tips on how I can save it?
