So I girded my loins and bought a couple of photographic lights on eBay. They cost me the princely sum of £35 intotal including delivery. Why the hell didn't I do this before?

Should make life a lot easier.
DeleteI've been thinking of buying something similar, like you I always have trouble taking pics, must be a Kent thing???
ReplyDeleteThe light this far north is often unsuitable for photographing toy soldiers.
DeleteI still get better results if I can use daylight too, but they are certainly better than trying without.
ReplyDeleteDaylight is best if you have any. :)
DeleteA light pointed into an el cheapo styrofoam cooler works too...
ReplyDeletestyrofoam cooler? Does not compute, mission control. :)
DeleteI have wanted a setup like that for a few years also...
ReplyDeleteIt all folds up very small for storage.
DeleteUseful kit there. I bought a lightbox a few years ago, smaller working area than your set up but like you I was tired of long Canadian winters and poor light. A good investment for showing off finished work.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's often not realised that London is on roughly the same latitude as Adaka in Alaska and Saskatoon in Canada. It's tough living on the roof of the world :)
DeleteYup. Come the revolution (or a surprise influx of cash) I'll be getting me one of those too.
ReplyDeleteMy Chicagoan wife, when asked about the climate there, often points out that Chi-Town is on the same latitude as Rome!
New York and London have roughly the same mean temp but the standard deviations.... woah!
