Prints
Too many stunning
images nowadays are
left languishing on a
computer, in your loft or
on a forgotten memory
card at the bottom of your
camera bag. Make the
most of them and show
them off with pride.
Fotocards
DESIGN AND PRINT YOUR OWN CARDS
Available in two paper types and now in
three sizes, we think these packs of quality
blank greetings cards from Fotospeed will
show off your images in style to friends and
family. Because the cards are pre-scored
down the centre you will get a perfect fold
every time.
Each pack comes complete with the
right number of matching white envelopes.
Templates for successful printing are
downloadable from the website, ensuring
you get a perfect finish every time. The
cards are compatible with all inkjet printers,
both dye and pigment inks.
Two new sizes have been introduced
following the popularity of the A5 cards –
A6 and panoramic-format i3, which has a
finished size of 21 x 7.4cm. So make use of
your images and get printing!
Panoramic paper
PRINT YOUR OWN PANORAMAS
The ability to print decent-sized panoramics has long been a desire
in the EOS magazine office, but not possible previously without a roll-fed printer. But
Fotospeed has the solution – new purpose-sized photo papers which can be used in top-fed
inkjet printers sized A4 and upwards.
This new range of papers measure 210 x 594mm, giving you a 3:1 ratio. We have
selected our two favourite paper finishes, but the range is available in six different finishes,
all of which can be ordered online. There is also a test pack which contains four sheets of
each of the six different finishes so that you can experiment with the finish that suits you.
25 sheets per pack (24 in the test pack). Templates for guidance on image placement within
Photoshop are downloadable free of charge from the shop website.
Photo Smooth Pearl is a natural white, heavyweight and instant dry, resin-coated
290gsm inkjet paper. It has a beautiful pearl finish. It has recently been developed by
Fotospeed to match the popular but now-discontinued Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl.
Platinum Baryta is a 300gsm paper which contains Barium Sulphate for a natural base
colour and smooth ‘unglazed’ glossy finish. It retains delicate highlights and gives deep
blacks, resulting in the traditional Baryta darkroom look and feel but from an inkjet paper.
The test pack, in addition to containing the two papers above, also includes the
following papers: PF Gloss 270, PF Lustre 270, Smooth Cotton 300, Platinum Etching 285.
Full packs of these papers are also available by special order from the EOS magazine shop.

L ight
An understanding of light
is critical to a successful
photo. Get the white
balance right with a grey
card or use a white balance
cap to take a test shot,
then adjust your settings
accordingly.
EzyBalance
POP-UP GREY/WHITE CARD
However hard you try, sometimes you
cannot get the white balance settings
right for your day’s shooting. The
technical challenge of exposure and
colour correction cannot easily be solved
with software
after the shoot.
These handy grey/
white cards from
Lastolite will solve
that problem.
There are two
versions: one
features an 18%
grey on one side
and is square; the
other is 12% grey
and triangular.
Both have a
white reverse
and are durable, wipe-clean and
lightweight.
When unfolded they measure 30cm
across and have a unique focusing target
in the centre which enables the camera
to focus more reliably. When folded they
measure only 10cm diameter and fit
easily into your pocket or camera bag.

Off-camera flash cord
CABLES FOR OFF-CAMERA FLASH
Sometimes you
need to move
your Speedlite
further away
from the camera
whilst still
retaining full
flash dedication.
These cords
from Lastolite are straight not coiled so
you won’t have to worry about stretching
the cord to its maximum length of either
three or ten metres. One end connects
to the camera hotshoe and the other
attaches to your Speedlite. You retain full
control over TTL metering.

The A5 cards are supplied in either a
middleweight 240gsm bright-white matte
photo paper or a heavyweight 315gsm
fine art textured paper. The cards are
single sided, leaving the inside of the card
uncoated and suitable for printing text
wording and messages. Both types offer a
bright white, matte finish.

Hähnel Tuff TTL
WIRELESS MULTI-FLASH TRIGGER
Canon’s latest
flash, the Speedlite
600EX-RT, is
the first to offer
wireless control
using a radio
signal. Earlier
Speedlites with
a wireless option
use optical signals.
The problem with
optical signals is
that they need
line-of-sight
between units and
the working range
is limited to several metres.
The Hahnel Tuff TTL flash trigger works
with an ISM 2.4GHz radio signal (licence-
free worldwide) and has a working range
of 200 metres, or more. There are two
parts to the trigger. The transmitter fits to
the hotshoe of your camera. The receiver
provides a hotshoe for the base of the
Speedlite. The system provides full TTL
flash metering with all EX-series Speedlites.
Digital Channel Matching eliminates the
risk of interference from other wireless
products. A single control button offers
normal TTL mode, high-speed sync (to a
maximum of 1/8000 second) and second-
curtain synchronisation. Each of the two
units is powered by two AA batteries.
Additional receivers enable you to
trigger multiple Speedlites. You can use
an unlimited number of receivers with the
one Tuff transmitter. Both the transmitter
and receiver are housed in a removeable
protective rubber cover for impact
protection.

Also available is the Viper – a more
advanced trigger capable of controlling
up to three groups of flash guns. Visit the
website for more information.
Triangular reflector
BRIGHTEN, BOUNCE AND FILL-IN
This 2-in-1 reflector will enable you to
adjust the light hitting your subject.
Designed with a hand hold in one of the
corners, it is easy to grip and thereby
angle for effective light control.
Available in two combinations: gold/
silver and white/silver. The gold surface
helps warm the reflected light, giving
a pleasing effect on skin tones even on
colder days. The silver surface reflects
more light to brighten the scene and will
increase highlights. The white side will
bounce light for fill-in where needed.
The reflector is 60cm wide and
collapses down into a small
zipped case.

Flat diffuser
SOFTENS ILLUMINATION
This portable diffuser also softens the
illumination from your camera’s built-in
flash. This accessory uses an elasticated
ring to grip the front of the lens. This
can give a greater distance between
the diffuser and
the flash head,
producing more
diffuse illumination.
Can also provide
diffusion for some
Speedlites (depends
on Speedlite,
lens and camera
combination). Folds
into a small zipped
pouch.
