This is truly a fantastic professional photographic lighting studio setup! With Four powerful main master strobes (2 powerful 180WS units plus 2 great 125WS units) to light your victims (um, your "subjects" that is:) in the most creative manner possible, 2 great Mini-Strobes for highlights or hairlights, and two dynamite Bare Bulb Strobes to light even your largest backgrounds (adding the depth and separation characteristic of professional images), two huge 44" umbrellas to soften the light and minimize hot spots and reflections from reflective surfaces, or for portrait use to hide the facial lines and wrinkles (making your subjects look younger and more vital), a silver/gold umbrella to add those lovely warm tones to our sunlight-deprived subjects, and in addition, a deluxe background support set to hold your backgrounds (also called backdrops), plus a wonderful cream-colored Muslin background/backdrop to start out with (many more available, of course), you'll have absolutely everything you'll need to start getting the fantastic pictures that will flatter and amaze your clients (or your kids, parents, friends, or relatives)! And for those times when you're going on location (or need to stash your studio in the closet), two custom carrying cases.

Nothing extra is needed; this fabulous package will put you into the photography business right out of the box! Just unpack your new goodies, and you'll have a fully-functional professional photographic lighting studio!

Important: I just HATE IT when I buy a "kit" or "package," and then when I receive it, I discover that I can't use it because there's something else I need (usually at additional cost, too) to make it work (i.e., the "batteries not included" syndrome)! So I'd never do that to any of my (treasured) customers! With this fabulous package, absolutely everything is included (well, except a camera, film, and photographer, that is)! When this package arrives, all you'll have to do to start making great photographs, is open it up, unwrap your new goodies, put the strobes on the light stands, plug 'em in, point them at your favorite subjects, and, baby, just like Elvis, go ahead and rock and roll (fire away)!

The NEW HS-500 Monolight This brand new Britek HS-500 is a great 180WS Monolight for the beginning professional, the pro with budget constraints, or the advanced amateur who is ready to bring the professional look to his or her photographs (without mortgaging the house). Why are photogs so in love with their studios? BECAUSE (in our studios) WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! And a "studio" can be a corner of any room, as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT.

After all, the word "photographer" itself (from Greek) actually means Light Writer, or "one who writes with light." The term is meaningful because those of us who make photographs are slaves to light. Light is both our nemesis and our salvation (when we can control the light). Without the right types of lighting equipment, we can never progress to professional level studio pictures. Or location pictures. Sure, we can make beautiful photos with available light... when the light's just right, at the exact time we need it, and at exact place we need it, under all the right conditions.... beginning to see now? When we can control the light, we can make the best photographs.

PhotoSpeak: BTW, did you notice, above, that I said "make" photographs, and not "take" pictures? Well, here's your first lesson in how pros speak about photography (photospeak): "Snapshooters" or "point and shooters," who don't think and plan their shots (e.g., most of us) are the ones who "take" pictures (the rank amateurs). Photographers "make" great photographs by careful thought, detailed planning, and, most of all, scrupulous attention to lighting. Before they even think about pressing that shutter, they "design" their photos carefully. Soon, with a little effort, you'll be "making" great photographs! It's not that hard, believe me. But ya gotta CONTROL THE LIGHT!

This little beauty cranks out a full 180 watt seconds* for mamma or poppa (or both)! Why do photographers want powerful flash equipment (strobes)? Because (both indoors and outdoors) with strobes, WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! Sound familiar? Starting to get the picture, now? (sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-) BTW, did you realize that both the photo above, and the photo on the left, were both taken against the same background? Yup. The backdrop was a pure white canvas. Why does the picture on the left look like it has a brown background? BECAUSE I COULD CONTROL THE LIGHT. Even with a cheapie old (really old) digital Fuji (no speed control, no slr, no aperture choice, etc.). How? See the "technique section below). Hmmm... Light! *What the heck is a "watt second?" And what's a "GN?"

Technique: How was I able to make the background that's in the top picture pure white, and the very same background, in the picture above, appear brown? It's easy - when you know how (it's sorta like this: What kind of question is a hard question? Answer: One you don't know the answer to. And what kind of question is an easy question? Answer: That's the one you do know the answer to). Here's how it's done: In the top picture, I lit the background with a backlight strobe (it's own strobe), so it received enough light to expose properly, and consequently it came out pure white. In the picture above, I did not light the background; I just used the tiny little built-in flash on the digital Fuji, which was enough to (barely) light the strobe I was photographing, but too weak to reach or brighten up the backdrop to white; therefore, the background underexposed and looked brownish, even though it was really a pure white canvas! Carried to an extreme, I could even make a white background look black, if I wanted to. How? By lighting the subject so brightly that the (unlit) background would underexpose (i.e., not receive enough light) so badly it would come out black. It's all in the LIGHT folks; it's all in the light! Remember, a photographer is a LIGHT writer. Back to the top

More about the new HS-500.....

Technique: Why would anyone want to dim a strobe to 1/2 its normal power?

Why would we want to dim a strobe to 1/2 power? Because in order to get great pictures, we have to be able to control the light (sound familiar?) in a number of ways. Sometimes a full power flash is too powerful for the effect we're after; other times we may want to reduce the illumination to create a different mood. In people pictures, for a head shot (that's what photographers call a picture of a person's face, often the face and shoulders), we often want part of the face highlighted, and the other part of the face in a light to medium shadow. This interplay of light and shadow is called "modeling," and is a hallmark of good photography. Anyway, as an example, a common lighting ratio for people pictures is a 1:2 (or 1:3) ratio - full illumination on one side of the face, and 1/2 that amount of light on the other side of the subject's face (we rarely want full frontal lighting, because it gives the face a flat and unappealing look, as well as other negative aspects). The 1:2 (full/half) lighting combination gives us an interesting and often flattering image, with a good ratio of light and shadow - revealing the character, and giving us depth and texture (but be sure to play around with other lighting ratios, too, for even more creativity). Whenever we have two strobes to work with, we can achieve this 1:2 ratio by moving one strobe (the one providing the shadow side lighting) twice as far away from the subject as our main light (the strobe providing the full illumination). But often things get in the way, like walls and such; not all of us have lots of room in our studios (especially living room studios :) to move our lights as far away as we like. Aha! The scientific wizards devised a most convenient solution! A variable-power strobe (like this great HS-500)! Now, instead of moving lights all over the place, all we have to do is flip a switch, and Voila! 1/2 power without any hassle at all! In some very powerful strobes, we might even find variations from full power, all the way down to 1/32 power. Another way to achieve a lighting ratio (when we only have one strobe) is to use a reflector to "bounce" some light onto the shadow side of the subject's face. You can buy a "professional" reflector for as much as $100.00 or more, but I just use a white poster board, which you can find at any art supply store for under two bucks. You don't have to spend a fortune to make great pictures, just use your equipment to its fullest extent - and use your head! Back up to the HS-500 description from whence you came.

your new studio kit: Britek SM-1250 Professional Studio Flash Strobe

The NEW SM-1250 Monolight This brand new Britek SM-1250 is a great starter Monolight for the beginning professional, the pro with tight budget constraints, or the advanced amateur who is ready to bring the professional look to his or her photographs (without mortgaging the house). Why are photogs so in love with their studios? BECAUSE (in our studios) WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! And a "studio" can be a corner of any room, as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT.

All the basic data & information presented about the HS-500 Pro Studio Strobes (above) also pertain to the SM-1250 Pro Strobe - the only differences are: The SM-1250 puts out *125WS of power (instead of 180WS); and The SM-1250 has a 60 watt modeling light (instead of the 150 watt halogen on the HS-500). Here are some pictures of the SM-1250 Pro Strobe for your consideration. *What's a watt second?

More about the new SM-1250.....

At the great price you'll get this kit for, you could this whole professional lighting studio package for LESS than you might pay for a single competing light! (Well, probably, anyway :)

Guerrilla Photography is Coming!

Just as with the HS-500 Pro Studio Strobes, when you set these SM-1250s for 1/2 power, the modeling lights ALSO dim to 1/2 power! As we can see from the back view, The New SM-1250 is just as well-stocked with controls as are the HS-500s (some additional controls are located on the top side of the 1250s). The SM-1250 is also a "Monolight," meaning that all the required components are included in the one package no additional equipment is needed); just plug them in, and fire away!

As with the HS-500, we can see the Modeling Light Bulb (they're round, in this strobe) and the Flash Tube (the circular tube surrounding the modeling bulb).

Complete: Each of these SM-1250s (just like their big brothers, the HS-500 Pro Studio Strobes) comes complete with umbrella-capable reflector, sync cord, AC cord, Flash Tube, Modeling Light, built-in umbrella holder, and standard light stand connector; it's ready to plug in and fire away! Many additional accessories are also available for these units, whenever you're ready for them (e.g., snoots, barn doors, softboxes, stands, unbrellas, honeycombs, gel holders, etc.). These are brand new, 100% guaranteed, with full manufacturer's warrantee . These are NOT seconds, blemishes, or anything other than brand new, absolutely perfect, current 2001 models!

your new studio kit: The BB-50 80WS Bare-Bulb Strobe
UPGRADE - to AS-32B Master Strobe

BB-50 Upgrade: AS-32B Bare Bulb Master Flash NOTE: This unit has been Upgraded from the BB-50 Slave Unit to the AS-32B Master Unit at no increase in cost to you! The AS-32B looks the same as the BB-50 (illustrated above) but incorporates a Sync (PC) Plug which allows this unit to function as a Master OR as a Slave unit! This AS-32B is a wonderful new bare bulb unit, which pumps out 80-90 full Watt Seconds of power in a wide 180º angle! These strobes are perfect for illuminating the background or backdrop behind your subject, or toplighting, among numerous other uses. Also great for any photographic effect which requires illuminating a wide area. Additional accessories available whenever your little heart desires. As befits a package that's well-designed (hold the applause, please:), you also get the pan & tilt light head with integral umbrella holder illustrated above. [You can expand the capabilities of this strobe with the optional color filter set which will fit both the BB-50 and the AS-32B units] Here are the specs: 80/90 WS Output, GN ASA100 @ 50 feet 3-5 Second fast recycling time Variable Power: Full and 1/2 power settings Triggered by PC Cord or Slave Sensor or Test Button Output Angle 180 degrees PC (Sync) Socket, Slave sensor, Ready Light, Test Button, Variable Power Selector Technique: How do we know that the large image of the BB-50, above, was made when the strobe was much too close to the background? C'mon, look at the image; what is it that tells us it was very close to the background? Answer: The SHADOW! Obviously, form the shadow, we know that the large image was 1. very close to the backdrop; and 2. that we lit the strobe with a single, (most likely on-camera), flash, from slightly above the subject (because the shadow falls slightly below the strobe, the light must have come from slightly above it). This is exactly what we DON'T want with most pictures, especially people pictures. I did it on the strobe to give it some dimension, and for an example to discuss with you. You'll notice that all the other images have no shadows.

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 minimum clearly and honestly listed for all to see.

You're getting Two of these great AS-32B bare bulb strobes!

Q. What the heck is a "WS" and what's a "GN," and what in the world do they mean?

WS = Watt Second | GN = Guide Number Here's a brief explanation (using, for this example, your (well, it might be yours soon:) new SM-1250 strobe, which have a power level of 125WS, and a GN of 125): The "125WS" (or the 80WS, or 20WS, etc.) is the output power of your strobe and a watt second is equal to the electrical term "joules," a high-falutin power level. The Guide Number (GN) of these SM-1250 units is also 125 (for ASA/ISO 100 film), with a standard reflector. Often, the Watt Second power output is close to the guide number. What good is knowing the guide number? Well, the GN gives us a method of calculating exposure (for any strobe and any film) in this way: to calculate the correct approximate exposure for any subject at any distance, simply divide the distance (in feet) that the subject is from the strobe, into the strobe's GN (guide number); the result is our approximate "F" stop. For example, (presuming you're using ISO/ASA 100 film), our GN is 125, and the subject is 12 feet away, then: 125 (GN) divided by 12 (feet away from the subject) = 10.4, so we'd use an exposure setting of just under F11. If our subject is 8 feet away, then: 125 divided by 8 = 15.6 which would give us an approximate F stop of just under 16. See? Umm, if you don't understand it, don't worry about it (it took me years to fully comprehend). Suggestion: If you're serious about improving your photography, you should consider getting a handheld flash/ambient light meter (sorry, I don't carry any at this time).

your new Starter kit: The Deluxe Background Support Set

Fabulous New Deluxe Background Support System!

Extends to almost 12 feet high! Whatta Dream Package!

Here's a great background system all in one dynamite package! Not only can this system hold backgrounds / backdrops up to TWELVE Feet wide (it extends to 12.8 feet wide!), it can extend to almost 12 feet high, too! This system comes with a unique Triple background roll holder (but only one cross bar is included), so you can expand its capabilities as your needs may require in the future. 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 a beautiful six section extendable background bar, anyway :). But wait! There's MORE! Yessiree folks, even mo'. Also included in this marvelous setup is a custom carrying case to hold all your new goodies, 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,

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 background. Look at her eyes. See? If you want to improve your pictures and videos, 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/films; if you've got a better example, send it in (I'll use it!), OK? If not, then buy one of these great packages and make better photographs!

Here's what you'll get with this great new background package: 1) Two 408C compact background stands 2) One Background roll cross bar 3) Two three Background roll bar supports (triple holders for upgrading) 4) One Custom carrying case for entire system

Pet Peeve2: BTW, unlike some other sellers I've run across, all my merchandise is in stock for immediate shipment! Back to top

You're getting ONE Deluxe Background Support System with this great package

Umbrellas & Accessories

	WHITE/BLACK REFLECTION UMBRELLA: 44" The White/Black umbrella is made of the new P-Satin clothes-PU bonding with high denier Satin. Their Black cover can achieve almost 100% light reflection rate and provide soft almost shadowless light, which is suitable for indirect and diffusive lighting. A wonderful method of softening the light. You get Two of these. Technique: Photographers use these umbrellas to diffuse and soften light; in portraits, for example, this soft lighting very effectively hides many of the lines and wrinkles on the faces of our victims (umm, our "subjects" :), making them look younger and more vital. It's also great for photographing highly reflective surfaces, such as jewelry, glass, and chrome (it avoids the bright reflections that mess up our pictures). But don't let our clients know our little secrets, just accept their appreciation (along with your quickly-escalating fees), and let them believe it was your phenomenal photographic skill that made them (or their products) look so damn good! Look, you're spending a lot of time and money acquiring the equipment, and learning the skills of the photographic arts; you're becoming a skilled professional; your work is valuable as well as beautiful. Don't price yourself out of the market, certainly, but don't sell yourself cheap, either. You'll receive two of these umbrellas with this fabulous professional lighting equipment package!
Check out MyPhotoHome.com HERE!
	Point of Information: BTW (btw means "by the way" for any "newbies" paying us a visit), a "Reflection" umbrella is one that reflects the strobe's light back onto the subject, and thereby softens and diffuses the light. This technique is often used in portraits, delicate items, and for photographing reflective surfaces, and performs many beneficial services for all us hard-working, and under-appreciated photographic artists. Keep it a secret from others, though, and let them think we get our beautiful images through some sort of secret and esoteric magic, passed down through the centuries, from master to disciple. It helps increase our value ;-) - and please don't send me any e-mail explaining that photography hasn't been around for centuries, I know that. Duh. Back to the top
	Silver / Gold Reflection Umbrella 32" The Gold & Silver umbrellas are made of high 300 denier black cover with PU coating. Inner surfaces are bonded with Silver and Gold aluminum metallic foil. The Gold side produces a lovely, warm reflected light that creates those warm, soft, healthy skin tones that are so desirable for portraiture (and many other areas of photography). As with all well-designed, and properly thought-out photographic packages, the accessories included with this great professional kit are those which the photographer needs most, so s/he can create the most effective and striking images for the majority of situations in which we find ourselves in today's world.
	H70- 150mm 6" Umbrella Reflector Used alone for about 60º coverage, or with barn doors to control lighting spread, or with an umbrella to create soft and diffuse lighting. This custom reflector is designed with a special "slot" in it to allow for the use of an umbrella, without the need for a special umbrella holder accessory! A unique innovation! This is usually the reflector that comes with the HS-500 and SM-1250 Strobes, since they have an integral umbrella holder built in to the strobe's light stand connector. You get Four of these reflectors with this package (they go on the HS-500 and the SM-1250 Pro Studio Strobes).
	H70MM Snoot The Snoot provides a 30º concentrated light source for spot lighting or dramatic accents. Often used to "spotlight" a product, or a specific area of a photograph; also used for hairlights in people pictures. One of the photographer's "must have" accessories (the Snoot also acts as a holder for the Medium Honeycomb, below).
	Medium Honeycomb This unit attaches to the end of the Snoot, above, and restricts the light beam to 15º as well as softening the light. Often used for hairlights and accent lights, as well as many other uses. Another one of the photographer's "must have" accessories. Back to the top
	Here's a great little accessory that all photographers always need more of: a panning light head with integral umbrella holder! You get TWO of these with this great 3 Strobe Starter Kit. It's hard to wax philosophic about a photographic accessory, but anyone who's ever worked with lights knows that these little tools are absolutely indispensable. For example, even a super-duper, antique, $100,000.00 table lamp isn't going to do anyone much good without a light bulb that works. It's hard to admire anything sitting in the dark! But this little baby works, and keeps on working. You'll need one of these for every standard e-27 Edison base strobe or continuous light you'll ever work with (the E-27 is the standard household light socket size, so you can use "regular" lights with it too, if need be). Plus, this little baby has an integral (built-in) umbrella holder, which saves you from having to buy an additional umbrella adapter, whenever you might want to "bounce" the light off of (or through) an umbrella. You're getting Four of these great Tilt/Swivel Bulb Holders with this package (they're used with your AS-32B Bare Bulb Strobes, and your AS-66 Mini-Strobes). Specifications: Single standard E-27 bulb socket On / Off switch 10 foot power cord 3/8" Stud for attaching to light stands
	Custom Light stand and Umbrella Carrying Case This custom high quality carrying bag is designed to hold all three of your light stands, AND both of your new Umbrellas! Don't tell anyone, but I somehow manage to pack in a few extra goodies whenever I really have to. UPGRADE: New larger light stand carrying case replaces current case at no extra charge!
	Custom Strobe and Accessories Carrying Case This custom-made high quality carrying case is designed to hold all four of your strobe lights, AND all your extra accessories, with room for more! It's heavily padded for the safety of your new toys, and has several removable panels and separators, which allow you to customize the interior to suit your ever-changing needs. Finally, a bag that fits!! UPGRADE: New larger strobe carrying case replaces current case at no extra charge! Back to the top
Will pro strobes work with my digital camera? WI'll they work with my really old camera? Will they work if I don't have a sync (or PC) terminal? They almost certainly will! Read about it here.
Reality Check: Realize, that all this equipment, while certainly a fantastic deal and a marvelous value, are the working photog's Chevys and Fords (or Toyotas & Nissans) of photographic equipment; not the Rolls Royces. Treat this equipment with minimal respect, and it will see you through to old age; but if you're looking for Ferraris, you'd best go buy something else. At this price, this package is really good quality equipment and, unquestionably, a wonderful deal. It's all brand new stuff (not someone else's old, banged up, castoffs), and, of course, it comes with the manufacturer's full year warrantee. For hundreds and hundreds of more impartial, objective opinions, check my feedback and you'll see that everyone who bought this equipment loves it, and that includes me (yes, I use all these exact same items myself, and it's done for me exactly what I bought it for: it's helped me make better photographs - MUCH better photographs, in many different circumstances; give it a fair shot, and it will almost certainly do the same for you!). I promise you, a whole new world of creativity will open up for you. Look at it like this: you start out walking (you've got a camera with a little built-in flash) or taking a bus (you got a dedicated flash unit for your camera - problem is, everybody's face comes out "flat" and usually with "red-eye" too; that's what you get with all on-camera flashes); when you can afford it, you buy yourself a brand new car (hey, you deserve it, huh?) and start driving a new ford or chevy (this equipment). Then, when your income increases, you can go buy a Cadillac or Lincoln (you may not need one, but you can afford it if you want it); when you get rich and famous, you can go buy a Ferrari or a Maserati (if you want); but right now, a Chevy is a safe, comfortable, reliable, effective, and perfectly acceptable mode of transportation, and a whole hell of a lot better than taking a bus or getting shoved around on a subway train (in fact, you just might decide that's all you need, and stick with fords and chevys from here on out)! Photographically, if you don't have at least a couple of entry-level strobes, you're a public transportation candidate. There's certainly nothin' wrong with that, but boy oh boy, it sure as heck limits your options (ever try taking your date out on a bus? It might get you there, but there ain't no way to cuddle - without getting arrested, anyway:)! In the end, only you can decide what's right for you; as the old saying goes: "You pays your money, and you takes your choice." Do what you think is best, and for goodness sake, don't spend more than you have to. I hope this helps, and answers many of the most common questions I get on this equipment. As I said, I use these exact same items, and I can find nothing whatsoever to complain about (and a whole lot to like); sure, there's more expensive stuff out there, but why pay for more than you need? Everyone has to start somewhere, and this equipment is a great way to get started, or add to your arsenal of photographic creativity, without requiring you to take out a second mortgage on your house. For a more objective viewpoint, check my feedback and see what other buyers of this equipment had to say about it. Around 300 customers love it so far; chances are, you will too.
--> This entire package can be yours for only $1399.00! <--
Back to top of page What a great opportunity to own a truly marvelous and complete photographic studio setup! For less than 1400.00 could own you this entire professional photographic lighting studio package for less than you might pay for just one or two strobes from a competing manufacturer!
Thank you for visiting this site, best of luck with your photography, and please accept my most sincere wishes for you and yours to enjoy a safe, wonderful, prosperous, photographically creative, and joyful New Year! And whether or not you choose to purchase any new photographic equipment - keep making pictures!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building...."

Well, that's it for the goodies, folks. Now for the details:

Shipping & handling is only $84.45 for UPS ground delivery (in continental USA)! Other shipping methods available (UPS 3 Day, Next Day Air or Fed Express, etc.), buyer chooses. Payments by credit cards, cashier's checks and money orders shipped immediately; personal/business checks are welcome, but will be held until check clears. Thank you for taking the time to view this auction, may you have best of luck, and happy bidding!! Will I ship to Canada/Overseas? Yes, but please read this BEFORE bidding. What are my payment and shipping options? See This! [Q: How can you sell brand new equipment for such low prices? ]

BTW, if you should ever outgrow this package (unlikely, because photographers can always use all the lights and light stands we can get; I know many pros who use 6 or 7 or more strobes just for head shots!), but if you do, you can either trade it in on the new ones, 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 light and photographic equipment will 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 warantee! 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! For literally hundreds of more impartial and objective points of view, check my feedback; and see what every other customer has had to say about this kit (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. For answers to common questions, read my FAQ.

As an eBay PowerSeller, a Billpoint PreferredSeller, and a PayPal "Verified" premier business seller, my customers are safer, happier, and better off all around! :-) If you're a PayPal user, you no longer have that darn $1-2,000.00 limit every 6 months on your purchases when you order from me (unlimited credit)! If you're a Billpoint user (your credit is unlimited again), you will NOT have that annoying $500.00 per auction limit on your purchases when you buy from me, and even if you're new to Billpoint, there's NO waiting or verification delays whatsoever, so your order can be shipped immediately (and you can use Billpoint to pay for any purchase from me - unlike the limits you have with ordinary sellers)! You're ALWAYS better off buying from thesource3! Plus, your purchase is doubly guaranteed against fraud! Read more about your safeguards...

NOTE: You're welcome to pay with PayPal, Billpoint, or BidPay, by credit card or electronic check. Billpoint and BidPay will allow folks from countries other than the USA to use credit cards, too. For those not technologically inclined, snail mail (i.e. the post office) will also work just fine. I hope this helps provide enough alternatives for you (if not, feel free to send in your suggestions; e-mail me here). One of the differences between me and the big guys, is the fact that I'm always willing to do whatever I possibly can to help out my customers in whatever ways are needed. Here's my philosophy on "Customer Service." Will I ship to Canada and other countries? Sure I will! But read this before placing an out-of-the-USA bid. Basically, if you're willing to pay the higher shipping charges, then I'll be happy to ship to you.

This is truly a fantastic professional photographic lighting studio setup! With Four powerful main master strobes (2 powerful 180WS units plus 2 great 125WS units) to light your victims (um, your "subjects" that is:) in the most creative manner possible, 2 great Mini-Strobes for highlights or hairlights, and two dynamite Bare Bulb Strobes to light even your largest backgrounds (adding the depth and separation characteristic of professional images), two huge 44" umbrellas to soften the light and minimize hot spots, reflections, or for portrait use to hide the facial lines and wrinkles (making your subjects look younger and more vital), a silver/gold umbrella to add those lovely warm tones to our sunlight-deprived subjects, and in addition, a deluxe background support set to hold your backgrounds (also called backdrops), plus a wonderful cream-colored Muslin background/backdrop to start out with (many more available, of course), you'll have absolutely everything you'll need to start getting the fantastic pictures that will flatter and amaze your clients (or your kids, parents, friends, or relatives)! And for those times when you're going on location (or need to stash your studio in the closet), two custom carrying cases. Whether you want to make great pictures of your products, or magnificent portraits of people, this equipment will provide you with everything you'll need! Nothing extra is needed; this fabulous package will put you into the photography business right out of the box! Just unpack your new goodies, and you'll have a fully-functional professional photographic lighting studio!

Important: I just HATE IT when I buy a "kit" or "package," and then when I receive it, I discover that I can't use it because there's something else I need (usually at additional cost, too) to make it work (i.e., the "batteries not included" syndrome)! So I'd never do that to any of my (treasured) customers! With this fabulous package, absolutely everything is included (well, except a camera, film, and photographer, that is)! When this package arrives, all you'll have to do to start making great photographs, is open it up, unwrap your new goodies, put the strobes on the light stands, plug 'em in, point them at your favorite subjects, and, baby, just go ahead and rock and roll (fire away)!
