Poon is in the headlines

Postby surenj on Wed Jun 16, 2010 10:42 pm

Poon has made the headlines so to speak; in the world of off-camera flash.

Phottix has done it again with a PW clone!! That has more range!!!

This may well be the biggest break through in off camera flash since the PW themselves. :mrgreen:

Good luck to him. I bet he won't be able to keep up with the demand. :wink: Strobist has a readership of more than 200,000 per day I think... Most are too poor to afford PWs. :violin:

I really hope this goes well for him. The product just gets better and better!

Poon is quite thrilled about this, and asked me to post this image from the Beijing show ...

But I prefer this one.

Those are links from Poon's smugmug site. The images are showing for me .... but I'm unable to try and fix things at the server end because of their provenance.

If you can't see them ... just click on the links that Dawsey provided. (Thanks ... )

Only if they fired the flash WAY over exposure. All I see on the link is white.

The links give me a white screen as well.

Ok,

This is the link to Poon's gallery, highlighting the image that he wanted me to post. The last image on this page of the gallery (brh corner) is the one I prefer.
