Number 3 is the key shot. Well strung together. Something melodious and mellifluous about the composition.

Mark, I’m very fortune to be able to say, ” I’ve been to the mountain top and I’ve seeeeen the 400mm lens, I’ve touched the 400mm lens, hell, I’ve even shot the 400mm. Life is GOOD!! and so is that 400mm lens you have.
BFF,
Not to long ago I visited the big smoke to photograph a model for radio popper. On a sweltering hot, full sun afternoon we visited a parking lot that showed the skyline of Toronto in the background as well as the incredible range and versatility of the Radio Popper system. I think the edited footage of my visit turned out quite nicely
Thanks to Adam Miasik of Moving Images Photography for a helping hand.

Apart from being an inspiration in your field and truly a true natural for commercials (the ones you carefully choose to promote) you spontaneously manage to keep your modesty and personality. And that combination dear Mark is finally invaluable. At least to me.
Thank you maestro. You always find a way to show me life as could be “lit”.
You’re a natural even in front of the camera!
That’s old news…I dated Marilyn Chambers in the 80′s
Nice! That’s your break, you could be America’s next porn star!
I would say the other product on the market that would be comparable if not better than the radiopopper system would be the new pocket wizard flex and mini. I have become a big fan very quickly!
Ridout Photography visited Paris Ontario recently to photograph an engagement shoot (awesome pics to follow) and to hook up with Willow Paper Works to give the Translite 2.0 another test. This time we attached a Aurora softbox to the head of the portable strobe which gave us a softer look to the images. The images of Holly O below are good examples of what can be achieved with the Translite 2.0 now available for purchase from Willow Paper Works HERE. We also used the Flashwave III transmiter which worked flawlessly.
Holy O who operates her art studio from Paris Ontario was kind enough to be our model for a short experiment. Visit Holly’s website and check out her very fun and colourful paintings
Although Chris seems somewhat confused he was an excellent assistant with great patience. Chantal can vouch for how much patience my assistant’s must have

Mark,
The softbox we used was an Aurora 18×24 This is the older version. current version available is Square Softbox – LBDR66S 24″ x 24″ (Silver)
I believe the softbox is 26″…The pocket Wizard System I have never used as I quite often use the Radio Poppers with my canon 580′s at high speed sync. The Translite 2.0 is another lighting choice from the many out there. For some it will be an excellent tool….and for others they may not need it if they are already equipped with tools such as yours. So much out there….and not enough money
Hi Mark. I am curious as to what size the softbox pictured is? I am also wondering if you have played with the new pocket wizard system? I love mine! It is even possible to shoot at 1250th at full power with an alienbee. They work beautifully with the nikon speedlights in high speed sync as well. As always, a pleasure viewing your work!
Very clean images. I like the mounts on this unit, they look very sturdy and practical. Firstly the handle to the monopod, the remote trigger mount and lastly the ring attachment to accommodate the softbox.
It certainly looks simple and well thought out. The weight factor of course is of great benefit especially while holding the whole ensemble on a monopod above your head. Sorry, I mean your poor assistant’s head. (Does it come with a hard hat and florescent vest?)

Brilliant photos Mark! I really look like a colourful character now! grazie mille!!
Hey Buckethead,
Too Funny.. Duh!!, Always a pleasure to assist and test gear with you.. Great shots of our friend “Holly O” and thanks for the continued support
