Canon Eos 1Ds

I am Istvan /Steven/ Budai residing in Hungary and the US. I have been photographing for over forty years, The many countries of my photographic journeys include Australia, Indonesia,Europe, Russia and the United States in these places I took tens of thousands of pictures of landscapes, sport events, beauty peagents and portraits.

As a member of the international federeation of journalists I had access to many events and places. As a gift of fortune I had a photo session with the filmstar Gina Lollobrigida. The photos I took with the standard flash attachments were over exposed. Foor years it bothered me why the pictures of my favorite subjects could not measure up to the quality I have strived for. Meanwhile fantastic advances came in flash technology such as TTL and ETTL but the basic problem still persisted. Intense light provides on site photo capability but a portrait or object loses it's plasticity and deep disturbing shadows form. Many have tried to alleviete or lessen this problem with various light softening, the currently available products provide partial shadow reduction but 1-1.5 opening required when the problem is that there is not enough light in addition the main light is lessened and it is rarely adventageous.
 
After years of experimentation I have been successfully using WAKELITE for the past two years. When attached to a Cannon 580 EX flash it is possible to illuminate an entire concert hall. The attached photos in the gallery speak for itself.

Mass production of this invention is underway. It generated great interest at the 2007 PMA and WPPI proffesional trade shows held in Las Vegas. It is my firm conviction that this invention will open a new world for many photographers. Under ideal circumstances studio lighting quality photos can be produced.

For our customers I wish success with their photos.
