HSF Triggers - Thunder - Sound- Laser

HSF TRIGGERS

Like most photographers they are gear tech daft and i always wanted a sound or laser triggers but when you look around you find out quickly that the amazing shots you see are not cheap to do, basic kits start at like £300 and then there are a range of add-ons you need and then i found HSF Triggers on Ebay and quickly bookmarked them and so they sat there until i could get money to buy his set which are only £90. But i found myself in a lucky position that i run and admin 5 photography groups in facebook as well as 2 youtube channel and 4 photography related blogs.
I contact them and they were happy enough to send me 3 triggers to review and use. Here are a few examples of my water drop shots which i think a not too bad.

Working Smart

This is not a photography related post but does stand well on running a business.


Just on 3 months ago i came up with an online business i worked out suppliers, costs, marketing and advertising, so for this business was to be a Facebook online business so i got to work created a page images, stock and price lists and banners. Now just as i had created this i was on the phone to one of my Admins of one of my groups who within 30mins of the call had basically copied my whole business plan and idea not only that he also used my images that i spent a few hours on i know i know this coming from a "Pro Photographer" (Joke). So after looking at the model closely and watching him fuck his up, good rule of business let the other guy fuck it up first save you doing it :)  So he wanted to make a wage out of this he wanted profit out of this but for this to work he would need to sell over 400+ items or products to make it work for every single month but he made several bad moves and i will point them out here just incase he needs more advice on how to.

Digital images look like film

One of the things i love about photography is using film the look, feel, texture and the whole process involved  for me makes photography magical, but sometimes you just can't due to either time or cost constraints so another way is to make your digital images look like film images so here is just one way how this can be done.

So the before image
