I've never found the posing issue to be a problem if I'm honest. The pre flash is fractions of a second before the main one so I've never had to ask people to pose again...

I'm definitely no expert on the subject, but I've been working for a night club photography company for 18+ months now and am getting good results. Settings obviously vary in different lighting etc but I usually start at around 1/5 f8 ISO 1600. Rear Sync Flash (just using ETTL). I up the shutter...

The city centre is really nice to walk around and it's also got an amazing cathedral and castle, which are the obvious photo choices. There's a boat tour which goes to the other more photogenic side of the cathedral which would be good to see. There's loads more to see but my favourites.

That's the dream! :lol: As I mentioned before this is not a paying position etc, just hobby. But we all like an excuse for new toys don't we...

The 24-70 is also an option, it could always double up for my nightclub work (if I had to sell the 17-55 to fund it, that is)

Something in that focal range would be ideal! But.. I think I've been spoilt by having a 2.8 lens :D

I have a UV filter on the lens, plastic bag may be an option..

Thanks Paul. It my first outing with the new body so I may be a little over thinking it atm!

So tomorrow I'm going to watch my sister competing in some local Horse show jumping and I plan on taking my camera to take some shots of her jumping etc. It's all taking place indoors, which are notorious for being very dusty from the surface they use. Is there any precautions I need to take...

They are really good. Used them for about 3 months now and no complaints. £10 a month for an IPhone4s is ideal IMO

Been using Giffgaff with my Iphone for 3 months now and couldn't recommend them enough

That's a really handy piece of info. Thanks for posting it

I bought the 580 recently and love it, I didn't mind spending the extra money incase I later decide to buy the 430 as a slave unit.
