Thank you for all your help and advice! I will do what was said and see how I get on!!!:)

Oh and forgot to say I was using the 50mm portrait lens!!!!

Ok so please dont be mean to me as I am new to all of this but I need help! I have taken some portraits of my family and although I love the poses, I dont understand why the images are not sharp and are blurred. I am going to be completely honest and say that the camera was set on Auto and I...

Ive just signed up too! Just noticed I put my first magazine for March 2011 (which is out around 23rd February 2011) but then noticed on the PP website it says course starts in Aprils edition! Did you sign up as April as your first copy? I guess I better contact them and try and change it...

Apart from Ebay, is there anywhere else that anyone knows of to purchase the above at a reasonable price?

so if the RF602's only work in manual mode anyway, theres no point in looking at the speedlights that do offer TTL mode?

Without the risk of sounding dumb, I just wanted someone to explain to me what TTL mode is? I have purchased some RF602's with a couple of receivers and now need to purchase a couple of speedlites. I was looking at the Yongnuo YN-460ii but they clearly state that they wont work in TTL mode. I...

Just needed some advice....if I wanted to purchase the following as basic lighting, what else would I need to purchase? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370474021436&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI It mentions a sync cable which is included but I cant see that it would...

Can I just ask, I basically want exactly the same as Danny133 and have also been looking at everything he has posted however I was advised that it is best to go for a wireless trigger and 3 transmitters rather than just 2! I also only want mine for light portrait home use so could I get away...

Ive decided im going to get a wireless trigger with speedlites and stands, umbrella etc as thats the route most people ( and a couple of photographers I know ) have suggested may be best for me at this stage in time! The one thing id like to know before I order is...do I need a wireless...

I realise you get what you pay for however as its not going to be used on a daily basis, its just for the odd picture of my kids, family etc would something like this suffice for minimum use? http://www.smick.co.uk/sonline/slave-flash-portrait-lighting-kit/prod_295.html Garry, I really...

Thank you, I appreciate you telling me that! Is there a kit (for complete beginners) like myself that anyone can recommend for me! The world of lighting seems to be extremely vast and rather confusing to say the least! Thanks

Just wanted some feedback on the following softbox lighting kit... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002I3VCGS/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=1D0CN56RYAR78SA0ADWY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294 I basically want to start playing...

Thank you, they look very good to me! The other alternative one are the Photosel ones currently on Ebay for £74 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PhotoSEL-Collapsible-Background-Disc-Train-Add-On-WBA-/180488550060?pt=UK_Photography_StudioEquipment_RL&hash=item2a05f4b6ac Would these be a better...

Would anyone have any images they have taken with this that they would be willing to share! I have heard just as many good things as I have heard bad, a real example would be good!
