Brand New Variable Power 80WS Slave Strobe

NOTICE: This strobe has been upgraded!

Please see our New model here!

BB-50 Bare Bulb Flash (slave) This is a wonderful new slave unit, which pumps out 80 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, or wherever you may need more light. Also great for any photographic effect which requires illuminating a wide area. Additional accessories available (color filter set, bulb holder, etc.) whenever your little heart desires. Please be aware that this price is for the BB-50 Bare Bulb Strobe only, and does not include the bulb holder or light stand on which the strobe is displayed in the picture above (of course these are also available, and you may choose to purchase these extras after winning this auction, if you wish). Here are the specs: 80 WS Output, GN ASA100 @ 50 feet 3-5 Second fast recycling time Variable Power: Full and 1/2 power settings Triggered by Slave Sensor or Test Button Output Angle 180 degrees Slave sensor, Ready Light, Test Button 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, from 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 of lighting technique to discuss with you. You'll notice that all the other images have no shadows.

BTW, you might like to add an optional set of color filters for your new BB-50 Bare Bulb strobe (only $14.95 when added to your purchase of this kit). What are they good for, you might ask? Well, by putting a color filter over your background light (the BB-50 is often used to light backgrounds), you can change the color of your background (when using a white or light-colored backdrop - whether it's a wall, a sheet, a canvas, or a roll of professional background paper, it doesn't matter as long as it's white or light - by adding a color filter over the background light, you can quickly, easily, and inexpensively change the color of your background!). You'd be surprised at how much the background color can change the mood and feel of a photograph (check out my auctions for background systems for a sample of how backgrounds can change a picture).

Only $79.95

Thank you for taking the time to view this auction, may you have best of luck, and happy bidding!!

BTW, if you should ever outgrow this strobe (unlikely, because photographers can always use all the lights and stands and accessories 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 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), these lights and photographic equipment will retain a good portion of their value if or when you're ready to move on.
