Back in 2006 when I first started getting serious about photography, I found Strobist.com and was instantly hooked.

Eventually, I […]

Last week Elinchrom made two announcements: one was about a new EL Skyport+ trigger and one about starting to sell the Godox battery pack inverter. We find both announcements interesting. We caught up with Christopher Whittle, Elinchrom’s president at the Photography show and asked about those. See the interview above, and some of my thoughts after the jump. […]
