GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey RC & Pete another great show, i’ve been watching since episode 1 and still look forward to every new show each week. Keep up the great work!!
Nice show!
I’ve been thinking about this “mini-softbox” … after Pete’s comments, even more hehehehe
Up for prizes!
I’ve seen every episode and still learn something new! Great tips as always.
Light box was great info for portrait
Every show has great info keep it up
Great show, keep them comming
Great flash modifier tips. Thanks
Thanks Pete for reinforcing value of the flash soft box setup. Enjoyed RC’s overview of the Westcott system.
Thanks for yet another great DtownTV episode!
That grid is amazing! Works great.
Sweet box!
Thanks for the great tips.. Awesome show .
Great show guys I like the Westcott Apollo I may look into getting one.
Thanks for the great gear tips guys. I went online and most of that gear is extremely reasonable and does not break the bank like most photographic equipment.
Thanks for the light modifiers tip.
Great show, love the westcott umbrella feature.
Great Show again Guys,
Softbox heaven !
Also loving the Rogue gear.
Cheers
Phil.
Thanks guys, Pete nice tip on the ballhead.
once again great show guys.
i need all that stuff. thanks.
Nice tutorial on the apollo, awesome to hear about the grid looks like it’s time to pick one up!
good softbox info…
great show,
can you show everyone sometime why you would use a silver, white or gold inner lining in a soft box and the results?
Very good show. I liked the softbox portion.
This episode had perfect timing! I was looking for a good softox this morning. Thanks!
Gr8 episode.
How about doing an episode on flash modifiers?
Thanks for the softbox tips guys. Very helpful stuff.
I always get something out of this show, Thank You
I want that soft box. cool show guys
Can’t wait to see the info from Pete on the Spider Strap. But the info from Annie Cahill on posing problems was very timely. Can’t COUNT the number of times I’ve mis-focused that way! Again, thanks for all you do!
Gpod show, glad to see you had a Canon shooter on the show! Go Pete!
Always learning something new.
Tremendous show once again guys! Keep rockin!
Thanks for the ball head tip. Great info on the sofbox as well.
Great Show liked Pete’s compact gear
Good inslights on flash.
Good work guys. Love that softbox!
Thanks guys!
Ahhh… RC you just convinced me to buy the grid for my Apollo Orb.
The burning question I have is how do you store your Apollo? The Orb suffers from the same lack of a case. Lightstand bag?
Hint: Larry, time for a cheapshot on a case for the Apollo softboxes.
Great show!
thanks again for the show.
Good show.
Good show, will check out the softbox
Good advice, Anne Cahill !
Great show, as usual! Thanks for the info.
Awesome show guys.
Thanks for the all of the tips.
I love this show. I´ve been learning a lot with you guys! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
great show
That apollo with the grid looks to good to pass up
Great show. Thanks
My first time here! Love it!
Quality episode. Thanks RC and Pete for giving me a break from the Olympic opening ceremony!
Thanks for the tips and gear demonstrations.
Great show, need more like it
Again great show.
This is only place I watch episodes. The best place to watch.
cool lighting product.
Enjoyed the differences of lighting examples.
Another fantastic show. Hope I can still win one of those fantastic prizes.
Great show – the new Apollo softbox looks great, although the Lumiquest seems like something I would use more.
great info
I really like the Lumiquest softbox for small intimate portraits. Liked the tip on the small clamp that Pete showed.
great info! Thanks!
I love my Apollo – I need the grid
Great show! Loved the segment about the soft-box. Will buy one for my photography students this year. Thanks!
Great stuff today!! Like the soft box and the demonstration part was great. So often you only get told “this is the best” with no real explanation. It was great to see it work! Pete, thanks for using a Canon 7D, I don’t feel so bad using Canon any more. Just kidding…been using Canon since 1980!!! Still have one AE-1 left!! See you guys in Vegas when you get here!!
RC & Pete have another winner on the Westcott flastes.
Good episode with a demonstration and explanation of the difference between an umbrella, a softbox, and a gridded softbox.
Tell Annie that the single biggest reason many people brink before you take their picture (or the flash goes off) is that the photographer leaves the camera set to beep when they press the shutter. Turn that bleeping beep off and 90% of the problem goes away.
Love to have the Rouge gear.
Don
great show
your show just keep getting better and better.
Thank you for demonstrating the differences between an umbrella and a soft box.
I keep trying but never seem to make it– tell me when I can catch the broadcast-kive?
Great show, I want the stabilizer
Had no idea grids were available for the Apollos. Thanks for the info!
Great show !
Love the show. Great tips.
Great show! Ordering the mini ball head, Pete, what cold shoe were you using on it?
Great epsiod, love the softbox. Isn’t it a give away ?!
Will any of these lighting options work sufficiently with a 439ex2 or do I need a more powerful flash
Loved the show and the tips were great! Mahalo!
Knocked it out of the park again!
Forged in Nikon. Gotta love it. RC loved your segment on the recessed softbox
Nice one. I aways enjoy lighting tips and information on modifiers. Great info. guys. Keep em coming.
looks lie your soft box may be better than my lastolite ezbox Must give it a try
Great lighting info. Will have to go out and buy some new stuff.
Thanks for the tips! Always a big help.
Another great show with wonderful tips. I’m getting one of those Giotto Mini-Balls today!
Great Show! I would like to see you bring Anne Cahill back for more tips.
Great Show, as always.
Love the tips! Keep them coming!
great show!
NICE TO SEE ANOTHER CANON USER!!
Super show guys!!!
Love watching D-town along with the Grid…. You guys are awesome…
another great show!
great show
Great show!
Great show! would like to hear more about mirrorless cameras.
Good show guys. Pete, I use the same Giotto mini-ball for my flash and have a suggestion for you. Put a Manfrotto 386BC Nano Clamp on the bottom. It stays small but becomes a lot more diverse. The flash can be mounted to doors, branches, fences, light stands that already have something else mounted on the head, etc. I use it all the time.
I enjoy when you show the results of using the various products
I love the Apollo soft box!
Loved the demo of the soft box. Pls show more light modifiers in future episodes. So much to learn there!
Great softbox tips!
Thanks, got some good ideas from this one! Like the Apollo!
Great kit tips & nice that you’re doing more with Canon too.
Excellent.
Great information. Thats why I watch, and being a NAAP member helps as well. Love the member Discounts.
The softbox is a very well thought product. Thanks for the tip.
Great show with loads of great information.
Thanks,
Jim
Love Anne’s tips!
I’m really going to have to buy one of those Westcott Apollos. Thanks for demoing them.
Cheers
Always a great show. Look forward to it every week.

Some day I will have to learn how to use lights! This is a great place to start!
One thing though, Pete needs to calm down his rocking back and forth. He gets going pretty good sometimes.
Great show guys! Greetings from London
Great tip on softbox! Thanks!
Great information as usual.
Loved the foldable mini softbox. Please do a show on the different focus modes for the new D800 and when should I use each

another great show guys.
How about quick update on lences beyond nikon and canon like tamron,sigma and tokina. Why buy them instead more expensive giants. Is there different picture quality or they just build cheaply???
you guys rock!
Loved the explanation of the softbox. Thanks.
Great show!
Hi guys!
Another great show, especially the explanation of using a softbox vs an umbrella.
Love the show, what lens did Pete have on his 7D?
looks tasty…?
very helpful modifier description
Maybe explain the difference between using a softbox with a small flash and a monolight and the difference that can make in the final output.
Great Products and tips.
D-Town is great, I am a Nikon shooter, and tips
Great show guys! I’m off to the Westcott site now to get a new softbox. The only bad thing about D-Town is you give me new reasons to buy cool gear.
Yet another informative show, just loved Pete’s insight and tips.
Keep up the good work, respect
Mark L
D-town is my favorite show. I would love to win the flash bender- that is so awesome
