Well it's not looking too promising now, most people are tied up that weekend now who offered their services. Last bump to see if there are any other people who would like some experience of shooting weddings, you would be the second photographer for the day so no pressure, just thought it would...

Last call for anyone else who's interested!

Thanks for those who have registered further interest. If people would pm me or email me with there current areas of interest, examples, experience etc, and ideally what they are looking to gain from this experience I will then try to choose someone. Once again thanks for the offers!

Thread revival, not long now until the wedding, I will be in touch shortly with those who offered there services. Anyone else who would also like the chance please get in touch asap.

Are we missing something then? I'm happy it works for me and a couple of others, but I would have thought this would be fairly standard across bodies?

Might have to play with it when I get home, guessing they trigger at the start of the frame and then at the end again? I would have thought that the camera would only fire the triggers at the end of the exposure?

I had never even thought about this tbh, is there no work around for the cheap cactus type triggers? I have used rear curtain using my sb-600 with cls, but had grand plans for larger scaled setups using the cactus triggers, guess that's out the window now then? I have an Sb-25, Sb-26, SB-80dx...

The Joe Mcnally books are pretty good. There was also another great portrait book on amazon something by Michael Greco I think. As mentioned above Light, Science & Magic is a good book, but quite in depth. Depends what you are after.
