Hi I've been following your site quite extensively. Especially important to me as due to health issues most of my Photography will now be studio still life. I have purchased a smoke machine that sits on a table near the setup but there is no real flexibility as to positioning - whereas your setup seems to allow for flexibility in the positioning. I cannot make out how you are supporting yours - could you let me know. Thought you might be using a friction arm but on closer inspection that does not appear to be the case. I would be in your debt if you could you advise on the best way of supporting the machine but allowing for flexibility of movement. Kind regards Eric
Thank you for your comments, yes I do use a friction arm. I use a super clamp around the handle on the some machine, a bit Heath Robinson but it works.
I'm new to all of this and really appreciate you sharing your process. But I've got a beginner question. Based on the videos I've watched, it seems that there is a preference of the photographers on UA-cam to use flash lighting. What is the advantage of flash over continous lighting? Wouldn't continous lighting reduce the wear and tear on your camera (lower shutter counts / fewer test shots)?
You pose a very good question. All forms of lighting have a place, no one type is better then another. What seams like a very simple question, "is flash lighting better" actually has a very complex answer. I'll do a video about it at some point in the future.
@@CameraClubLive I have the same question as @aProudLiberal. Have you created the video? if so can you post the link I could not find it. By the way you have the best videos explaining photography. I appreciate your step by step instructions. I have been struggling with flash photography and your openings showing how to remove studio light contamination has been (forgive the pun) a light bulb moment. I would be cool to see more videos using speed lights or less expensive lighting. Profoto equipment is out of my price range.
As usual, fantastic! 👍Thank you!
Thank you too!

@@CameraClubLive Thank you - appreciated
Thanks for sharing, I wonder why not use live view from your camera instead looking in view finder?
Yes you could, I'm a bit old school and prefer the viewfinder.
@@CameraClubLive will you do anything with Christmas table top photography ?
