    New to flickr

    Hi Amy. I resisted the world of Flickr for ages but when I went over there I found that I LOVE it. Photo forums like these are terrific, dont get me wrong, but I just like the way I can get around and see way more photo's on Flickr. I'm off to visit you now ;-)

    ^^ I favorited that one about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Great work. Mick. I just went back to look and I didnt even comment back then. Slack of me. Done now though.

    How to shoot a very chromed up engine?

    OK cheers Garry. Much appreciated. I was going to meet up about an hour before sunset but I think I'll make it a little earlier and try what you've said about using the sky and available light. Thanks again. Mick.

    How to shoot a very chromed up engine?

    I've tee'd up a shoot with a guy at work. No date is set yet but I'm looking at this or next weekend. The subject will be a very very hot Ford Mustang. Its in show car condition so I'm looking forward to it but I'm a tad nervous. I'm sure he'll like the shots because he's never done any propper...

    I can understand why George. This is awesome. Its a rig shot yes? What shutter speed and what speed was the vehicle doing? Mick.

    advice on new kit - 580exII and 430ex

    I've just been thru this dilemma. I have had a 580 for a while now so opted to buy two 430's and use them off camera with the 580 as master on camera. I've only just got them yesterday so can say how its working out but I'm excited lol. Mick.

    CS_2 Plug ins

    Colour Efex is awesome. I use it on nearly every shot. Vivesa is another cool plug.

    Third party Battery grips BG-E2

    I've had the XYMT grip on now for about 18 months, maybe 2 years without any problems at all. I'd probably buy another too, but if money was not tight at the time I needed/wanted it, I might go the original. Mick.

    Circular polarisers - any point spending silly money on one?

    I find i dont use mine anywhere near as much as I used to (it stayed on nearly all the time for a while there). I think that my images are a good bit sharper without it. Having said that though, I'd still use it if I was out fishing on a bright beach somewhere. Mick.
