There's still hope ...for those wanting the best Made in USA monolights here; http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-535792-1.html

I purchased the two 1250 monolights for a second shooter and backup to the five other Photogenic lights that I use. They're up for sale at a steal for their condition that's 9.9/10. It comes with all standard items as from the factory; like power cords, 7.5" reflectors, and sync cords. They have under 200 pops, so as used they are as near new as one can acquire. I'm keeping four or five older units that have and will serve for many years to come. FYI: These lights can be triggered not only by the sync cord, but more desirably by virtually ANY RADIO TRIGGER. I've used my Yongnuos, though I prefer my Pocket Wizards, as you can "Hyper-sync" beyond X-sync up to 1/8000th of a second to shoot outdoors to stop action and overpower bright sun, too. This is possible with any Nikon or Canon dedicated Pocket Wizard TT5 or TT6. Along with the Photogenic Ion inverter you're able to shoot 90+ frames at 1,000W/s for each battery. With the spare battery (included) that's 180+ frames at any location. This kit serves at a professional level. I've included links to Adorama's current sale prices.
Items prices in USD include PayPal fee and ground shipping in the 48 states of the U.S. I will ship anywhere else if you're willing to pay the difference.

Imagine..........the future is present now

Lights anyone???

One more time around the block, please.

Wow, did I hit a nerve with the has been warlords with high blood pressure? The next thing I imagine is to hear someone's dysfunctional blame laying for BOZO having his heart attack when he was only 80 lbs. overweight from a high LDL producing diet and lack of activity, but carry on; and on; and well you know. Personally, I am young 66 years and find 85% of the population dysfunctional and intolerable with no self-awareness and it's usually the crotchety over-fed idiots with a heart condition they've caused themselves over 5-6 decades that think they're the judge of all things and are waiting to go to a better place. Well, why not just go now quietly without being such a KILLJOY. Bye-bye misery. To me, that young man is quite taken and absorbed in the study of what's left from a time before the dysfunctional immigrants came to this land to annihilate the people, the bison, the rivers to create a park it's called. Better that kind is in the grave for there only cure is death and as is well known, one dies as one lives; or doesn't.

You're sadly mistaken about him disrespecting a national treasure. In reality, he's respecting it very closely having circumvented a disrespectful barrier put up by the park service; also known as God of the Wilderness Stolen From the Aboriginal Peoples. Look up the word respect to find it means to look well toward. IMHO, disrespecting the petroglyphs would be defacing them. Maybe you need to let go of your control freaking and enjoy life a bit more or you may choose to remain miserable. That's everyone's choice many times every day, so try and respect yourself and breathe deep instead of panting. It's a lot easier on the blood pressure and heart, friend.

hmmm?

Is this what's meant by the "generation gap??? LOL

Two words come to mind. Majestic and expansive.

I like the lighting, well done IMHO.

Time for a shave my furry friend.

The main reason for wanting to live anywhere else is that some of us like real beer at the end of the day, but it's rare beauty there especially from the cliffs at the summit of Porcupine Rim mountain bike trail and the drop down to the Colorado River.....WHOOOOOOA!!!

Composition is an "A", but the human makes for an "A+". Like it a lot.

How about shooting in automatic where the camera chooses the exposure triangle? It's hard to imagine what anyone could learn from it.
