Can't see your flip-out screen in sunlight...want an even sharper image ? This product will be the best twenty bucks you will spend. This "Hood" wraps around your LCD viewfinder with a little piece of Velco strapped around the front. It helps in Sunlight and even indoors! Solve those viewfinder problems now by ordering one of these "Hoods" from Hoodman USA.

This is a photo of a "Drop-Ceiling" Clamp. It attaches to the Metal bands that support the tiles inserted in a normal office drop-cieling. The light attaches to the little pole at the end. This tool is for setting up a back light in a tight environment where you can not find a place for a normal Light Stand. For instance a person at a desk in tight quarters. This eliminates the need for light stands, it can be used to hang lights from the ceiling and you can pan 360 degrees and not see any light stands in the shot.

Think your stuck with an out of date G4 computer? Need more speed from your MAC? Want to use programs like LIVE TYPE and SOUNDTRACK, but don't have the 733 Mhz processor that you need to run them? There is a cheap and effective solution...a new processor from Other World Computing.

If you are currently working with a slower ( ie. 400 or 500 mhz) Mac Computer, you can simply replace your processor with a more powerful one from Other World Computing. I suggest the Mecury Extreme series. You will need to check your Firmware before installing the new processor, which is easy to do. They provide great instructions, just be sure to READ them before installing.
