A Measured Response…

Sekonic are the most prominent light and flash meters available in the UK. At least, certainly since the demise of Minolta and it’s range.

There are certainly some fine prodcuts in the line-up.

And for those contemplating a purchase, there is now an extended warranty included by the UK distributers. Here are the details:

 

All UK Sekonic Meters Will Now Carry A 5 Year Warranty

With immediate effect, all Sekonic meters supplied via JP Distribution and its authorised UK dealer network, will carry a 5 year warranty.

JP Distribution and its in-house service partner, JP Service Solutions, will now honour a 5 year warranty for any UK sourced* meter purchased from May 1st 2012 onwards.

This warranty covers labour and spares for units, which develop any issue due to manufacturers fault or malfunction, but does not cover accidental damage or customer misuse.

Registration for any authorised UK unit must be made via the Sekonic website, www.sekonic.com

*The extended 5 year warranty will only be honoured for units supplied by an authorised UK dealer, where a unit has been registered via the Sekonic website,

My Apologies…

Last week I was asked to reschedule one of my events with Calumet at their Drummond St store.

It now appears that communication issues meant that some delegates were not notified by the branch. I can only apologies for that, as I was unaware of the issue until now.

The course has though been rescheduled, and is taking place now on February 23rd. Once the Calumet web site has a link working I will provide more details.

Shoot A Portfolio In A Day…

Our ‘Shoot A Portfolio In A Day’ workshop next Monday at Nikon UK Ltd has a few spaces left.

Designed as a practical follow on from our ‘People Photography From The Ground-Up’ workshop, this event is of course, all about maximising your Nikon system.

So this stage 2-3 event combines real world solutions, fun and stacks of advice, for the pro or enthusiast who really wants to maximise their skills across various types of people photography.

From portraits in the home, office or wedding shots, too fashion and others, delegates go away with plenty to push their photography forward, with answers that keep it productive and as stress free as possible.

All is of course based around genuine answers I have used over the years with planning, shooting and post capture advice and demonstrations throughout the day.

Studio Lighting Course…

Our Studio Lighting From The Ground-Up workshop at Park Cameras next Friday is beginning to fill, but we have a few more places left on this popular workshop.

It starts from the basics but rapidly moves on from there.
