Windy day, wide open on the 35mm f1.4!<br /><br />I got about one shot in every ten where the focus and light actually worked. Maybe less!Justin Sutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218300881730900578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591081417382719833.post-58014358826179865312010-11-14T19:27:46.580+00:002010-11-14T19:27:46.580+00:00Any assistant would be nice.

Someone to make sure the strobes don't get blown over by an errant gust of wind whilst holding a reflector .... perhaps like Greg says someone will invent a robot assistant thingy.<br /><br />More than likely it will be a DIY tool belt that lets you attach a monopod strobe light and a mouth-stem controlled widget to adjust the reflector ... all while allowing James Wm.

I miss the days when I had a full-time assistant. It's not just the extra pair of hands but also that second opinion that helps so much...<br />My assistant in Nw York (Devra) used to ask, "are you going to do it like that?....... "Realy?......hmmmmm."<br />This was always a good clue that I should re-think and Justin Sutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218300881730900578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591081417382719833.post-12994410432992816832010-11-02T20:24:34.607+00:002010-11-02T20:24:34.607+00:00Nice post Justin.

Plenty of running to and fro and then praying they don't get blown over in the wind. Maybe someday, someone will invent DIY robotic radio-controlled roving lights...probably in America.Greg Funnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554319041581462080noreply@blogger.com
