July 26, 2011 10:06 - Samsung 8GB Micro SD Memory Card

I was recently sent the new Samsung Micro SDHC Class 4 Memory card with a request to review it and test to destruction!

This is the latest in a line of hardy, robust cards and this one claimed to be waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and magnetic security check proof (airports etc) so who was I to argue?

Read my review below and see how I finally broke this tough little cookie!

Another accessory that I recently purchased to go with my new off camera flash set up is to do with power!

I am constantly frustrated at weddings when I need to keep changing batteries at the most inopportune moment, plus the sheer number of batteries I carry adds a hefty weight to my already heavy camera bag.

Read how I solved both of these problems in one foul swoop with a very cheap but well made and all-round excellent battery pack from Pixel Pro...

July 26, 2011 09:50 - Lastolite Easybox vs Westcott Apollo Flash Softboxes

This year I started using more and more off camera flash using the amazing Pocket Wizards (Flex TT5 and Mini TT1). To compliment this set up, I recently purchased a couple of softbox diffusers to help with diffusing the ligh for a more pleasing look to my shots.

The two that I bought were the Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe 24" and the Westcott Apollo 28" Front Recessed Softbox. Read what my initial thoughts were below and find out which one got sent back to Amazon the very next day!
