Winter 2004-5 - Karlu Photographic

Lastolite Cubelite
Provides shadowless, soft lighting for any
item, and isolates reflective objects from
their surroundings. The cube can be lit
from any side, and collapses into a fraction
of its full size, so is equally at home
in the studio or on location. Inside there
is a pair of crocodile clips to support a
sheet of paper to make a gradient curve
background if required. The Cubelite is
available in three sizes.
There’s no need to compensate for the
tungsten lights with a digital camera –
just use the auto white balance, or
tungsten setting if provided.

Outdoor Cubelite 90cm
Comes with a removeable bottom, so that
it can be placed directly over the subject,
and the back panel can also be removed to
allow the subject to remain in its natural
context, but still remaining largely sheltered
from the elements. LA3687 £133.00
Reflective subjects
like this helmet
can be quickly
photographed with
no distracting ‘hot
spots’.
Lastolite light tents
Provide soft, shadowless lighting when
photographing small objects.
Manufactured from translucent neutral
nylon, the tent loses approx 1 stop of
light. The camera can be positioned at any
point in the velcro opening. Very useful
for plant photography, blocking out wind
and insects. Less heavy and bulky than a
Cubelite, but not self-supporting, the
spring-loaded base folds, reflector-style,
into a zip bag.

NEW Lastolite Covelite
The Cubelite copes with
most kinds of subjects, but
it’s very difficult to remove
unwanted reflections from
glass and chrome objects.
The Covelite completely
encloses the subject in soft
white reflections. Carefully
placed seams, vinyl background
and supplied black
out masks enable the light
to be carefully controlled.
Three sizes available.

Wein Safe-Sync
A hot-shoe PC adaptor with a built-in
voltage regulator that will protect any of
the latest digital and conventional
cameras from the potentially damaging
trigger voltages of older flash heads,
reducing it to a safe 6v maximum.
WESS £45.00
Kepcor IR flash trigger
Frees up the camera by
doing away with a sync lead. Fits standard
hot shoe (or PC socket with supplied
cord), and triggers any brand of flash
head with infra-red sensitive slave sensor
(most recent ones are). KPIR £39.95
‘Point and Shoot’ exposure
The new Lastolite Ezybalance has
been improved with the addition
target. This enables autofocus
cameras to lock focus as well as
exposure, speeding up photography
with Cube/Covelites.
