   I picked up an old Jessops home brand flashgun for £3! from london camera exchange in nottingham, works perfectly with my digital camera, film camera and also my wireless flash triggers (I use a Strobies 4 channel radio trigger set, cost me £45 for the trigger and reciever). Altho the flash doesnt have many features (like any kind of power adjustments) it still works perfectly for this project. guna save up and get a nice canon speedlight at some point though

   Hi, I really like this idea…
   awesome, Is there some alternative light that is to the flash gun?
   and what fabric is the black background?

   Great tutorial

    Dear Mr. Hoey,,
    I am very impressed with your smoke photography video,however, very dissapointed at your use of old technology. Now come on, elastic bands to hold on the card and matches to light the sticks? .. You could have at least moved on to modern technology that most of us spring chicks are now using … Adhesive backed velcro and gas lighters. I hope that you in future are going to move with the times.
    Great Video mate, keep them coming.
    Doc

    no no no no no, i like the way you done it, why buy expensive equipment when you can find cheap alternitives, ok these ones are not expensive but some equipment is well overpriced, if it works then it is all good

    Great Work !! I think you are great photographer as well as great instructor. Here is question, how did color of smoke changed ?

    Also, I see you are using a radio trigger,, and do you know what is difference between radio trigger you are using and pocket wizard ? Becuase, I’m just consider to getting one but pocket wizrard is quite expensive when compare to cheap trigger and receiver…

    Thank you,

    Can the Nikon SB-600 be used wirelessly? Or do I have to upgrade to the SB-900? If I can use it wirelessly (the SB-600), is there a cheap commander/Pocket Wizard that I can use to wirelessly use the SB-600?

    Your videos are the best!
