This post is for you guys that needed for some reason another umbrella, but what the heck, you don’t have another studio tripod that you can attach a swivel head that will hold the your flash and umbrella. So you are stuck? You say there must be a solution for that? Get your camera tripod and use it as a flash&umbrella holder!!!Easy thing to do and all you need is 3 things:

Small swivel flash  holder- you probably already have one and if not you must have one.

The camera tripod thing that holds the camera to the tripod.

The item you probably don’t have and that’s the time to get it is the 1/4″ and 3/8″ Female Threaded screw Adapter , so go on and get one, you’ll see that you might need it. Search on ebay or go to your local studio camera store.

Official Davis Cup match report, Israel – Russia 4-1

Yep Israel finally made it the quarter finals in the Davis cup.The games will be played this weekend 10-12 July,so expect me to slow down my writing.After that I have some tight two weeks as I go for the some army training,but be sure I get back firied up with ideas!!!

After publishing my first good looking DIY project-the DIY 40cm*40cm SoftBox,it got a lot of buzz and comments in the forums where I show the DIY project.One forum that I like the most (fredmiranda.com) got my thread into some kind of an argue about whether you should use this diy project for professional work or not.

My opinion about the gear=photographers quality  issue is that any service provider should be judged by his results and not by the equipment he/she owns,as simple as that!

But the purpose to many of my DIY projects (there will be much more to come,so stay tuned) is to experience your photography talent and improve it.It doesn’t matters what you photograph I’m sure as hell that the DIY SoftBox will improve your photo results if you only used your flash of camera with a small diffuser…

So go and do the DIY SoftBox and enjoy your results and test your talent.

I’ll be happy to see results of the  photos you took.

So what this blog is about?It is about getting some inspiration and ideas for better photography and photography methods.Plus you’ll your share of some of my simple DIY gadgets.
