Apart from the wee wander into newbie bashing and gear dissing I have found this thread to be most helpful so a big thank you to the OP and others that have commented. I have had three orders from Snapmad now and have found the quality on all to be very good. I agree about the comments that the...

I have experience of in-air cameras and know that the string can be an issue. You need to have a look at the KAP (Kite Aerial Photography) groups on Flickr Matt to see how they get round these issues. We have in Scotland Gentles LED which is a great lightweight way to fire a camera remotely. I...

Your questions should be directed to FITP - you are a potential customer! Tell him your equipment and ask if he is prepared to return goods if they do not work. Compatibility often arises out of the extra pins that some flashes have and the slight difference in sizes between major brands (and...

I bought item #260562704776 from eBay at £63 and have to say it is great value and exactly what I needed. It is LARGE at 80cm but that just helps give you a wide source of light. Better than my Bowens 60cm softbox in fact. I plumbed for that one as the seller used great images to describe the...

Remote flash is a hugely useful tool and the as public are now seeing more imaginative/well detailed images as a result of this technique the more togs are going to have to learn about the various remote flash techniques just to compete. It is rare that you would want a 2nd flash at the same...

Yes, they have this thing called Hypersync which allows you to shoot at faster than sync speeds then move on to High speed sync a la Canon. I could see being useful for wedding togs and portraiture. I am not sure it would have the required recycle time for sports. This said I did not move too...

After losing my old PWs I invested in the new Pocketwizard Flex transceivers. It took me a little while to adjust to shooting in ETTL mode with remote flash and I kept thinking manual however once I gave myself up and trusted the camera/flash judgement and placed my preferences upon them...

Thanks all. I am thinking of heading here and walking up to river to get Dome but may change mind.

Thanks Ian. I am pleased to see that weather forecasts for the South are as poor as those given for the Highlands! :lol: Local B&B's complained of mass cancellations following the BBC forecasts for the area over Easter. OK it wasn't brill but not bad either! and certainly good for photography...

Hi guys I am in London this weekend attending a course all day Saturday but may have time for a sunset session on Saturday night (if energy levels allow) or Sunday morning sunrise before I head for the airport. Apart from the obvious places (eye, tower bridge) can anyone recommend any...

There was a recent article in the Times which anyone taking pictures in the public domain may find useful, particularly if confronted by authority. It does not really cover accidents but it makes for interesting reading...

Two things are likely; poor connections or firing voltage is too low for flash. I have leads which fire my newer flashes but not my older ones as they require a higher trigger voltage. Welcome to the wonderful world of off-camera flash. They always fail to work just when you need them most...
