Thanks Simon. I figured it out after. Just needed to take the flash out of slave mode and it triggered the smartflashs

I am wondering if it is possible to use my 430EXII and RF602 to trigger lencarta flash. I have read here it is possible but don't see how? I got a faulty trigger with my Lencarta kit and am wondering can I use the RF602s when waiting for the replacements.

Thanks everyone for your help I got out with the camera today and tried upping the exposure compensation a little and most of my photos are fine. Also only used the inbetween ISOs which could have been what helped too. Thanks User Name any keepers I had I did some noise reduction and it made...

Its all very confusing I guess it is something that I will get used to. Poah the 2nd photo was given more as an example that I don't think there is anything wrong with the camera because I know it can be sharp under and well over 500. The first photo is what I would have expected from my...

Did they give you any indication when they would have stock again? That might be the deciding factor :(

Not sure why I used 500 just I was uping the iso to ensure that I could get shutter speed high enough. Its funny though I was doing some research since and the advice was to use the inbetween isos, which didn't make much sense to me really:shrug: At least I am not going mad someone else is...

No pp just exported in lightroom. Here is another example iso 100 f2.8 1/500 70mm

I nearly always shoot in raw. These 2 were in raw and exported using lightroom without touching any sliders

I got a 5DMKii a few months ago and I'm getting very inconsistent results with it. I'm seeing a lot of noise sometimes on low ISOs This was taken ISO 500, f4.0 1/200 70mm Crop It definitely can be very sharp. Here is one from day before ISO 100, f2.8 1/160 70mm Crop again I am getting...

To soften the light coming in your windows. Get a couple of white shower curtains. Argos have them for very cheap.

cowaski/Garry is the training just in the UK. Some good ideas there Cowaski I think I will look at upgrading one light alright. With the background I would like the background to be more portable between different rooms in the house and possibly garage too. I will be putting together some...

I have got some good results using a diffuser like this http://super.nova.org/DPR//DIY01/

We can't actually have curtains on the windows or nothing with any weight anyway. foggy4ever when the blinds are closed there still is plenty of light in the room so I probably do need to get some solution. I think a set of replacement blinds will be the best option

The blackout blind sound like a good solution. There is blinds on windows at the moment, it would be very handy if I could just replace those with another set when I need to use the room as a studio. I might check out IKEA to see whats available. david1701 most of the time the room has lovely...

My living room which I intend to use for some studio work has 1 wall width of the room and a small bit on either sides in glass. These are North and North West. While they are great for natural portraits I am wondering what I should do with them when using studio lights. The background will be...
