this is what happens when you Buy Other Sound Equipment.
Can you believe, the seller messaged me asking me to post the Bose to the intended owner and that he'd get the other guy to do the same to me with the iE80? I said no, I'd only do it once I have tracking details for the iE80 and then only after postage costs were paid first. The guy sounds genuine enough but a bit clueless on how to handle his own mistakes. Doesn't matter, if there are any issues I'll get the money refunded (used CC for payment via Paypal just incase).
mrk - What do you think of the Gregory Heisler book? I've been wanting to get it since Joe McNally recommended it. Does he give any details of camera settings and/or lighting or is it more about telling the story behind the image?
I have only had a quick skim so far but it does appear to contain lots of pictures showing backstage setup of his lighting and so on. The written parts do appear to go into great detail though, the 2nd study on a portrait of Muhammad Ali in the snow shot details are given and he explains the why and the how. Definitely looks like it's going to be the lighting and technique bible for portraits .
Have a little google for ie80 fake comparison, there are loads of videos on youtube and a few blog posts with detailed pics etc. Helped me no end!
Done a few, now to just wait for them to arrive
