One of the most overlooked aspects of good photography involves the use of flash, and no manufacturer makes a better flash enhancing product than Lumiquest. We have recently received a large shipment of the newest Lumiquest gear that was introduced at the Las Vegas Photo Markting Association Show this month.

If you would like a diffusion dome for your Nikon SB600 Speedlight, we have the Ultra Bounce ( $ 17.95 ) which is pictured above. This will give you soft shadowed illumination that was not possible before. The Pocket Bouncer( $ 26.95 ) also shown mounted on the Nikon SB800 has set the standard for the social event photographer and serious amateur since it was introduced. These units work well with any 430 series or 580 series Canon flashes as well. Actually they work perfectly with any flash that has a tilt head.

Even if you only use you pop up flash, the Lumiquest Soft Screen Display ( $ 14.95 ) will dramatically improve your flash photography with any camera brand. We also have Lumiquest Soft Boxes, Mini Soft Boxes and Snoots for your camera mounted flash units.

The beauty of owning a digital SLR ( which we also have in stock ) is your ability to try before you buy. Come in with your equipment and try these simple and inexpensive flash accessories. If you’ve read this far, mention this email and get 10% discount on any Lumiquest product in stock.

Winter is a great time to work on the preservation and cataloging of your photographic images and negatives - negatives you say ? Correct.

Most photographers that have so enthusiastically embraced digital technology have evolved from film cameras. These ” old timers ” have negatives, slides and prints that need to be archived. Storing and handling these items without the proper protection can cause all sorts of damage and problems. Dust, dirt, scratches and extreme environmental conditions are just some of the problems that may occur during storage. Others include harmful chemicals in some storage materials, such as cardboard boxes, vinyl or plasticized (PVC) sheets, kraft envelopes, non acid-free paper, and glassine envelopes.

Archival pages are available in many sizes that are perfect for the long term storage of negatives, slides and prints. They are a reasonably priced insurance policy for your negatives and prints.

Anyone who has attempted to photograph reflective objects knows that grandma’s sterling silver tea service and an engagement ring have a lot in common - at least photographically. When a photographer begins to set up highly relective objects, it soon becomes apparent that what he or she is really taking a picture of is not the object itself, but more what is mirrored in the object’s surface.

Enter the new solution to the problems associated with reflective surface photography, Smith-Victor’s light tent. This handy, fully foldable light tent allows the lighting to be placed outside with the object placed inside. The camera lens is inserted into the opening. The reflections in the object are primarily white and the high key lighting that results adds a rich look to jewelry, electronic components, silverware and just about any small object that needs shadowless, glamorous, soft lighting. Here’s a typical result:

Smith-Victor portable light tents are available in different sizes. The medium size tent shown above is available at Danella Photographic for $ 79.95
