... The bride really, really, really did not want to get her picture taken with the groom after the ceremony.
but worth a lawsuit?

Looking at the couple, they should be embarrassed. Maybe put down the butter, cake, chips, beer, sweets, and like would have helped too.
The fact thay got that horse in a white tarp and made it look like a dress is an accomplishment though
Are you really serious with your comments?

over reacting much?

Those are pretty reasonable deals from arguably the most reputable dealer in the US. I don't see the harm in reporting decent (albeit not great) deals. Especially when many of us are always on the lookout for our next piece of glass.
Again, I got the lower price. That is not what this is about.
Good for you. I got the 85mm f/1.2L II for $1,799 earlier this year, and you don't see me griping about losing confidence in this forum or B&H. It's economics 101... Prices change on a daily basis.
Again, those are fairly reasonable prices, and I'm glad they were posted. Be glad you already got a good deal and leave it at that.
Not one single person is listening to what I am saying. I GOT the lower price. My lens was paid for at the lower price & will arrive Thursday. I found it offensive that the price was marked up, hyped as lower, my post pointing this out was blocked. Do you all work for cr rumors & B&H? Or is there someone else that finds raising prices and advertising it as the best deal offensive?
Regardless of what they tell you, this will NOT speed up your chickens.
There's an inherent bus issue with most chickens.
These are NOT my images. They were clearly taken by someone more talented than myselfNevertheless, I would like to emulate a similar effect, where the ambient light is almost entirely defeated during the middle of the day when it's properly bright outside. You read right. These shots were taken during the middle of the day, not at night. Over-powering the ambient in this fashion, then throwing some light on the subject, can yield some dramatic results.
You might have to go with the Elinchrom power supplies. Not sure which you are looking at, most I see from them are digital and if you are looking at the Vagabond Lithium Mini, it may not work for you as you think.
The Lithium Mini is really designed for analog monolights and because of the way it recycles, it creates issues with digital lights. As an example, I cannot run my Photogenic PL2500DR or PL2500DRR off of the Mini... even just a single light, which technically the Vagabond should handle.
I can, however BARELY use the Vagabond with my PL1250DR, so only 500W/S versus 1000 W/S and even there only single light.
Now if I was using the PL1250 (Analog version) I should be able to power 2 fine.
This is something to do with the inverter, the voltage drops during the recycle and the stable power needed by the lights. The digital lights for the most part have a slightly higher requirement and at the bottom of the curve, the Vagabond is too low and "brownout" can be harmful to the digital components
You also notice all the Paul C Buff are analog. Not a coincidence.
Would be nicer if the Lithium had a little higher curve, but it is optimized for their line.
I hadn't considered the digital vs. analog issue, but I am now. Lots of people have experienced compatibility issues between newer variable voltage heads and the Vagabonds. The way I understand it, since heads like the Elinchrom 500 BXRi and Bowens Gemini Pros are designed to work with both 120v and 240v power outlets, the Vagabonds might have a hard time keeping up with the variations in voltage while the lights are recycling. The SE version of the Tronix Explorer battery pack was designed to address this issue, so that's probably what I'd go with if opting for the Elinchroms. Either that, or make a battery pack like wickidwombat's
I need to study up on the Elinchrom product line. Ideally I'd like more power than the D-Lite 400s, but then again, with HSS i could kill the ambient much more easily, which means I could open up the aperture more, which means I wouldn't need as much power in the first place. Hmmm.... The RX 600 heads are too expensive for my budget, but very appealing.
I'd be tempted to try to run these off a Vagabond since the Elinchrom power supplies are so costly.
Oooooo.Fancy...
How's the color compare to the AB-Ring flash?
Does color matter? This is analogous to comparing a 7D to a 1Dx
i.e. Dynalite around $2K or more and the AB at $400
Color matters. Generally all analog studio strobes color shift @ different power levels. ABs are terrible offenders and simply asked how a 2K dynalite performs.
Oooooo.
How's the color compare to the AB-Ring flash?
The "pro" APS-C side sounds quite interesting. I wonder how the current "non-pro" 7D owners would think of the price difference.
The assumption that the 7D will have an integrated grip based on this tidbit of information is hilarious. Could it be that they're just hinting on a newer, smaller, battery with a slightly higher voltage? Come on, the LP-E6 is a good battery but it's also been out for quite awhile now =P
Hmmm, this does sound quite interesting. It sounds like this camera will be positioned to have better features than the 5D3 just with a crop sensor. If it is using the 1D battery it will have to have a 1D body. Add the extra FPS and (Hopefully) a sensor that can cope with low ISO noise, I cannot see canon pricing this less than the5D3. I am guessing it will come in right around $3,500. That way most of us will complain about the price but they will still be sold out for months anyway because all of the sports and bird photographers will line up to put in their orders. Then like the 5d3 the price will come down to more reasonable ($2,800 street price with occasional $2,500 sales) levels.
