Another weekend shoot with Colleen D'Arcy

Setting up in the studio with Auki ,
Colleen & Katie
After nearly two months of video producing and editing tasks I have managed to find some spare time to get back into the studio for a bit today and I have to say the change was so refreshing. I asked Colleen D'Arcy back to help me test out an Elinchrom Ranger kit and just generally catch up over a few drinks.

Mark Hamilton has been preaching the Ranger word to me for quite some time now,  till this weekend I have just not had the time to give it a go.  Now, predictably though, I find myself browsing through the Elinchrom website and budgeting for what I will need to buy from them now.

I'll almost guarantee any photographer who has used one of these kits will agree with me when I say they leave you craving for more.  The sheer power available 'on-tap' gives you an unsurpassed comfort zone and makes the job so easy.

Back to the unfortunate budgeting reality though, the Ranger will have to be a 2012 purchase as they are definitely not cheap toys, next bargain buy in line for 2011 is the X-10 Vest that accompanies my Glidecam HD-4000 rig we currently operate. This will bring a new level of smoothness to the DSLR filming and perhaps save me some aching biceps in the process!
