Another person from the old land of liquid sunshine! welcome. If you are ever my way! shout :) (Falmouth)

I've said all along dude, your shots are amazing! well done!

Thought instead of water droplets landing on water, I'd simply try a surface today. which brings me to my entry :) TP 2013 PD Entry by Ben-BSH, on Flickr

Thanks all! Very helpful advice. :) that's why I love this forum!

Thanks all so far! This is really good advice all round! I might look Into a second 50d for now then, and get a 24-105 or similar lens in that range to cover a few weddings (once the course is done etc) and see what I need from that point on. Out of interest who do you wedding togs use for...

Ouch! they are 2.5k on Hdew. but I could stretch i guess if it will really be an investment i will not need to re-look at. out of interest, this might be better in the business forum, but If i bought this today, when registered with the taxman later in the year is it possible to claim back...

Ok, taken on board! cheers :D:D I'll be keeping an eye on the classifieds

what are the dimensions of the biggest table he will make? a light box will most likely be the best way depending on the size.

Fair enough, I'm sure i read somewhere rear curtain sync would paint a "frozen" subject over the top of one who had moved ever so slightly, basically reducing blur, clearly i read wrong! :) Thanks for the info! that's why i asked the question ;)

Out of interest, for other users of flash out there, do you use front or rear shutter sync for your portraiture work and why? I was thinking the other night, I should probably switch to rear to eliminate small amounts of blur at speeds lower than my max sync. but wondered if there were any...

Just get some Rain-X or similar windscreen treatment fluid, works a treat, Plus while your at it you get a lovely sparking windscreen when it rains! :)

Evening all! Was wondering if anyone had the above lens, and can recommend a filter system which will work without vignetting at 10mm? I've looked but the LEE series seems a little complicated, in terms of WA adaptors, Hoods, holders, how many slots, etc etc etc. And is there a cheaper...
