Gear Articles and Reviews
Welcome to the attic of my mind.
Here is where you will find many of the previous Strobist articles, loosely categorized. If you want everything, you have to wade through the archives, where you'll find them in reverse chronological order.
I tend to archive about twice a month, so this page will not be completely up-to-date. If you saw my room, my closet and the inside of my car, you would not only understand - you might even be a little impressed with the relative organization level of this page.
If you see something listed twice, it is because it fit into two different categories.
Please do not tell my wife I cleaned up this page first.
DIY
Yeah. We'recheap frugal. You wanna make something of it? Actually, that's kind of the whole point: If we can make it instead of buying it, that's just more money we can spend on store-bought gear and Diet Mountain Dew.

The goal: Keep the gear to a minimum and splurge on your brain instead. But some gear is necessary, and we can point you in the right direction. Just remember - you do not have to spend a ton of money for good light.

I like the new layout - very easy to scan to find what I am looking for.
thanks!
I thought I saw a section where we could post new gear finds. I've located a free data recovery software that has saved me at least 100.00, perhaps more. Testdisk and PhotoRec, its available at download.com or the creators web site..
I have a 100GB drive for backups that I accidentally deleted the partition on in hast to reinstall windows. Searching for several months, tried several crippled data recovery apps but most were 100.00 or more. Today I came across Photorec by CG Security and its amazing, totally free and does what it says, the drive wasn't even accessible in windows, but this free app is locating all my image files without a hitch.. simply amazing and free...
