After being chuffed with the results from my first day shooting with my new camera at the Fort http://www.flickr.com/photos/douglascook/sets/72157600396740300/ but slightly less enamoured about the lack of light I thought a speedlight would be in order. As is the case in most purchases I make, a cheap speedlight turns into an expensive speedlight which then turns into some radio triggers to do the whole shebang properly. I know the mutts nuts cost a lot more but £116 on these bad boys did make me sweat a little, seeing as this is supposedly a secondary hobby to riding bikes.
I have just saved myself over £35 !
If like me you have you have short arms and long pockets, you'll be amazed at the price match nonsense i have just come across...
Jessops have a website www.jessops.com. Jessops have another website www.tecno.co.uk
On www.jessops.com and in their retail outlets the portaflash LS1 light stand is £34.99.
on www.tecno.co.uk the portaflash LS1 light stand is £9.04.
SO:
Go into your local Jessops, ask for a Portastand - or anything else for that matter - and ask for a price match with their own Tecno website.
The total for one lightstand and a universal bracket inc. delivery of £3.99 was just £17.73.
The sales guy in the shop was amazed, but he stood by the price match. Maybe Jessops aren't as bad as i thought.
Happy shopping...
UPDATE:
Fancy a Lowepro Super Trekker AW II Backpack (Black)?
Even though it was really wet today, Dunkeld is still a very special place...favorite of the day is Duncan Holyhead. This one reminds me of a very early DW wallpaper way back with Stuart Edgar, Fraser will remember that one.
