My attempt this evening, sorry it is a boring moon shot. First time i have ever tried anything like this and first upload to this forum. Dean

Thanks again. After your response i had a thought and remembered that the 70-300 lens had a larger lens hood on it so i have just been and taken the same shot with that fitted but can not realy tell much difference but i am sure there must be something. I am now going to try the umbrella...

I think i have settled on the 70-300 VR but will this be good for motorsport and wildlife?. Dean

Hi Garry, Thank you very much for your help, and thanks to everyone else aswell you have all been a great help. I will investigate getting a larger soft box but the budget for that is not available at the moment. I am using the supplied lens hood that came with the Sony Lens. It is only...

:lol: As title really, as mentioned in my lighting problem thread i have upgraded my own camera to a D90 and sold my Sony A200 and lenses on to work. I am very very happy with the Nikon as already i feel that i am taking better pictures but i am missing the 70-300 lens i had for the Sony. It...

Thanks Garry that made more sense, this is all new to me but i am getting there i think. I have spent most of today reading and studying all sorts of info including the article you emailed me and taking everyones advice and pooling it together in to something i understand seems to be getting...

OK, i have had a bit more of a play but still don't seem to be winning. I have tried all sorts of places for the strobes but can not get a satisfactory picture, well what i think it OK. Have played around with the WB in the camera and the effect is better but still not what i am looking for...

I was hoping for a whiter background or at least a more even colour and more vibrant colours on the helicopter. The canopy on the model is actually a more vibrant green than it is in the shot more like a kawasaki green but as i turn the srobes up further it becomes yellow in places. I would...

Hi Guys. Thank you for all your help so far, i have cured the problem with the stobes not being in sync with the camera by using the proper Sony hot shoe adaptor. I can now get the strobes to fire at the right time and get them to have a effect on the image. What i now can not do is actually...

Hi Guys and girls, This is my first post here and after spending most of the morning between customer calls reading threads i recon that someone will be able to help me. Ok my problem is that i am setting up a basic studio area in one of our unused offices so that i can improve the product...
