My name is James Eakin and I live in Shreveport, Louisiana. This is my first post on Digital Grin. I have enjoyed the "People" section on DG for about a year now (lots of talented photographers). My interest in photography started three years ago and includes shooting, PJ, Landscapes, and studio portraits. I have always liked technical hobbies like Ham Radio, I guess that is another reason I love photography. I have learned a lot visiting DG and DPreview. Keep posting and commenting. Thank you. :D

Please feel free to view the images on my web site. http://www.eakinphotography.smugmug.com/ and leave a comment there and here on DG.

    James,

    Welcome to dgrin!!

    I like the looks of your studio lighting also. 42766391-M.jpg

    I would swear that the studio strobes I see are Flashpoints, from Adorama's wedding kit. Is that correct? I have a pair of those strobes and find them very satisfactory.

    Again, welcome to dgrinthumb.gif

    Thanks Andy and Pathfinder
    Andy, I read how to post photos on DG. I will post some in the future. Thanks for your comments on my studio and portraits. I have seen the images on your web site and some you posted here-Outstanding!

    Pathfinder, Yes the lights are Flashpoint 1820s. The lights are great, I wish I had the knowledge to operate them better - I am still learning. I use
    Canon DSLRs new 5D and old 10D. Thanks for asking about the studio.

    Hi James :D

    Grab this link instead, and you'll be able to post the pics inline.

    Here is the difference in the links:
