Complete Triple Background System! Brand New!

Important: Unlike others who try to sell you a "Triple" background set that really only has ONE crossbar (which makes it a "single" background set - Duh!), this set is a REAL Triple Background System with THREE crossbars! Who da man? PhotoSource3, of course.

Fabulous New TRIPLE Background Support System!

Can hold THREE backdrops at once! Extends to almost 12 feet high! Whatta Dream Package!

Wondering what the reserve price is? I never hide anything from my (beloved) bidders! Just look for "Elvis" and you'll see the reserve price clearly listed, just above the "Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building..." line. It's the same with all my reserve auctions; the reserve prices are always clearly and honestly listed for all to see. Thank you for viewing this auction, good luck, and please accept my most sincere wishes for a wonderful, prosperous, and joyful year. And don't forget to make some great photographs, too!

We all know (er, well, we all should know) how a different background (also called a backdrop) can completely change the look, feel, tone, and atmosphere of a shot. That's why there are backgrounds! Hey, this isn't the forum for a photography lesson, but just as a "quckie" (no, not THAT kind of a quickie :) to give you an idea, look at the pictures below; both are the same girl. Only one has a blue background, and the other has a green backdrop. Look at her eyes. See? If you want to improve your pictures, you might consider different backgrounds. If you choose to try this, you'll need something to hold the backdrops: ergo, background stands and systems!

Yeah, yeah, I can hear the purists already complaining about the lighting differences, but I ain't trying to make art here, nor is it a "lesson" but just an imperfect example, so keep quiet and make your own pictures; if you've got a better example, send it in, OK? If not, then buy one of these great packages and make better photographs!

Here's every photographer's or videographer's dream background system all in one dynamite package! Not only can this system hold backgrounds / backdrops up to TWELVE Feet wide (one crossbar extends to 12.8 feet wide! and two to 9 feet wide), it can hold THREE separate backgrounds at a time! That's right, folks, this system comes with a unique Triple background roll holder. Of course, you can use paper rolls, canvas, muslins, fabrics, or whatever your creative little heart desires (well, whatever you can figure out how to hold on 3 beautiful extendable background bars, anyway :). Hey, you know what a pain it is to be constantly running around switching backgrounds, and with this great package, your work will be cut in thirds, since you can have three different backdrops "online" all at the same time! Will wonders never cease? Not if I have anything to say about it, it won't. Also included in this marvelous setup is a custom carrying case, so you can pack it all up and stash it in the corner of a closet (when your spouse wants the living room back:), or take along on location shoots (wow, just think how much easier it will be to have THREE backdrops - at the same time - available on locations)!

Here's what you'll get with this wonderful new background package: 1) Two 408C compact background end stands (can double for light stands, too!) 2) Three Background roll cross bars (additional bars also available) --- One 12 foot crossbar --- Two 9 foot crossbars 3) Two three Background roll crossbars support attachments (triple holder) BONUS! 4) Custom carrying case included!

The Specs: Support stands: 4 sections (25, 22, 19, and 16mm); Legs: 19mm; Extended: 11.8 feet (almost 12 feet high!); Closed: 3.5 feet Cross bars: One 6 section pole; Extended: 12.8 feet; Closed: 3.5 feet; Will accept: 12 ft background rolls; and two 9 foot expandable crossbars Multiple bar support attachment: Can support THREE paper rolls, canvas, or fabric backgrounds/backdrops at the same time!

Believe it or not, the reserve on this fabulous Triple Background Support Set is Less than $130.00!

Wow! For only 129.00, you could own this amazing new Triple Background Support System! Don't be fooled by those who advertise "Triple" systems - but really sell you single bar systems! Deal with the dude you can definitely depend on for dynamite deals on divine photographic equipment! Want this Triple Background Support System AND three fabulous muslin backgrounds for an "instant" background studio setup? Check out my other auctions!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building..."
Well, that's it for the goodies, folks; now for the details:

Shipping & handling can add up, depending upon where you are, and how fast you need it. This system weighs quite a bit (it's all heavy metal bars and stands, y'know), so I'd vote for UPS ground delivery at 38.60 in the lower 48 states; other shipping methods are available (UPS 3 Day, Next Day Air or Fed Express, etc.), buyer chooses. E-mail me if you want a shipping quote. Payments by credit cards, cashier's checks and money orders shipped immediately; personal/business checks are welcome, but will be held until check clears (10-12 business days). California residents add sales tax. Thank you for taking the time to view this auction, may you have best of luck, and happy bidding!! You may add multiple units and/or accessories, which can be shipped together for savings. And remember, folks, unlike many of the other auctions, where you're buying someone else's old, outdated, banged-up, used equipment, here you're getting BRAND NEW, quality photographic equipment with full manufacturer's warranty! Think about this as you make your purchasing decisions.

BTW, be sure to check out my other auctions on eBay! I've often got GREAT deals on brand new photographic equipment, packages and other Photo items. Oh, BTW, if you should ever outgrow this kit (unlikely), but if you do, you can either trade it in or sell it (maybe even right here on eBay) - and you might even be able to sell it for as much as (or maybe even more than) you paid for it! So unlike that great computer we're all using right now (which will be almost worthless, for resale purposes, in 6 months or a year), this photographic equipment could retain a good portion (if not all) of its value if or when you're ready to move on.

Guaranteed! This brand new, top quality, kit equals or surpasses those with retail list prices far higher! Go ahead, check with your local photo store(s). Bid responsibly, but with confidence. These items are 100% guaranteed to be brand new, with manufacturer's warrantee! You may return this package (in new and undamaged condition, of course) within 7 days of receipt for a full refund (excluding shipping), if it is not exactly as described above in every way. Trust me, you'll love it! Check my feedback; and see what every other customer has had to say about this product (as well as every other item I've ever sold), and about my service, and my commitment to 100% customer satisfaction! Hey, us struggling photogs have to stick together, y'know (and all of us are always struggling - to make that elusive "perfect" photograph, huh?). Thanks again for viewing this auction; feel free to e-mail any questions to me.

Technique: The most important "secret" of good photography is the thought the photographer puts into a picture before s/he even considers what type of film to use! The point here is that we have to train ourselves to think before we shoot! What color is our subject? How can we make that color (or shade) stand out? Look at the example here, and see how the simple choice of using a background that matches our subject's eye color can improve our pictures. In the lovely picture to your left, notice how the blue-violet shadows to the right of the model's head accentuate her blue eyes. Notice, too how half the face is in a light shadow, adding depth and texture. We have to ask ourselves: What do we want to emphasize in our picture? How will we direct our viewers' eye to our subject? If it's an outdoors photograph, how will we separate our main subject from any other distracting elements in our photograph? At which angle should we shoot? Is it important to establish place in this photograph (i.e., is it important for the viewer to know where our subject is? Or do we want to hide the location)? If we're shooting people, what is our victim's least appealing feature (i.e., a large nose, a bald head, pot belly, lotsa wrinkles, etc.:)? How can we hide or de-emphasize it? What's our subject's most appealing feature (i.e., eyes, profile, smile, boobs - oops! sorry, I couldn't resist:) ? How can we emphasize the attractive aspects of our subjects? These are the questions photographers have to ask, before we shoot. THINK before you shoot! MAKE a photograph - don't "take" a snapshot! Learn to "design" your picture before you pick up your camera! Take a piece of paper and a pencil, and sketch out what you want in the picture you're considering; this will be a great help in the beginning, and after a few weeks or months of doing this, you'll start to do it all in your head, and won't need the pencil and paper any more. I promise you that a good photograph doesn't require the genius of an Einstein - it just takes a little thought and preparation (creativity and practice doesn't hurt either)! You don't have to study photography for 20 years, just train yourself to think before you shoot! Don't try to plan out 100 subjects all at once; think about one or two, and then use 10 rolls of film on just a few ideas. Shoot from different angles; shoot from different heights; shoot with different lighting angles; shoot with color film; shoot with black and white film; think, then shoot! Pretty soon, you'll wake up one day and realize that you've changed; you'll look at the world differently; you'll "see" things most people never even notice; one day, you'll realize that you've become something special; something different, but different in a most amazing and wonderful way; you will have become - a photographer! © 2001 Quickie Technique #5: Exposure - All meters built into all cameras are "reflection" meters; they read the light reflected by our subjects AND everything else in our viewfinder! This often causes incorrect readings, and pictures that turn out looking like doo-doo. Instead of letting our camera's meter read the exposure from our whole frame, set your built-in meter to its "spot" setting. Then, center the most Important part of your subject (i.e., the face of a person, the flower petals of a flower, the coat of a dog, etc.) in your meter's spot circle and take your reading; then, when our viewfinder's spot circle is filled with our subject and NOT with the surroundings, lock in exposure (e.g., press the shutter button half-way down), re-compose the shot, and then press the shutter button all the way down and make the exposure! I think you'll be pleased with the results! More "quickie techniques" information will be included in my other auction descriptions. Thank you for viewing this auction, and may you have the very best of luck!

From whom should you buy your photographic equipment? Hey, it's your hard-earned money, so you should buy from anybody you darn well like! However, one of the advantages of buying from another photographer is that, unlike "salesmen," who just want to "sell" things to you, a photographer will know what you need, and what you don't need; a photographer will know why you'll need something, and why you won't need something; a photographer will have actually used the equipment being sold, and will be able to offer advice based on real-life experience. Of course, the facts that photographers (like us) are usually much better-looking, a lot smarter, definitely kinder, and unquestionably much more creative than other folks, doesn't hurt either, does it? ;-) Unlike the others who try to cover up their own ignorance with vague warnings cautioning you against buying from anyone else (but them, that is:), I won't stoop to such reprehensible behavior; I guess I'm just not greedy enough to do such things. In addition, I trust you to be smart enough to make up your very own mind, without my self-serving advice, telling you who you should and shouldn't patronize. Sure, I'm in business to sell photographic equipment, but I'd rather lose a few sales than insult my customers' intelligence with admonitions like: "Buy from me! Don't buy from the other guy!" So go ahead and check out what's available, compare prices, quality, and customer service philosophies; see who you think will provide more help and support. Then, check out the feedback profiles; go look to see what the other "photographic experts" were selling a few months ago (that'll be a revelation:). Next visit the web sites, of your potential suppliers (especially those who claim to be photographers with "100 years experience," and see how much they really know about photography). Then, in addition to the usual, logical, informed, procedures for making your purchasing decisions, check with the old standby that's almost always right, your gut feelings. Check things out; make up your own mind. Then, without doubt, you'll probably come to the right conclusion. [However, - just in the interest of saving you time and trouble ;-) the conclusion you'll surely come to is that "PhotoSource3" on eBay (who is also the beloved founder and talented creator of MyPhotoHome and Photographer's SupplyStation) is "Da Man" from whom to buy your photographic goodies! =:-) ] Thank you for being kind enough to view this auction (I hope you realize that my humor is meant to be fun, and is intended with good will), may you have the best of luck, and don't forget, as always, no matter who you choose to honor with your photographic purchases, take (or better yet, "make") lots of great pictures! And remember, you can't get good - unless you get started.
