Hello all. I'm going to shoot a fire show this evening and could really use some advice on settings. I'm thinking my 50 mm wide open at 1.4 and high ISO. I Don't reall want to drop below 1/60th either I guess?

That would make sense. Thanks guys. It had to be something simple. Much obliged.

Ha, most amusing :) The lights were mere feet from the subject so not far at all. The only thing that I did any different here was due to me forgetting my PW's, I was relying on the slave function of the lights and using a speed light as a master. That said, I can't see that it would have had...

I was doing a shoot (unsuccessfully) this evening with my GF on her balcony with my Elinchrom rig - a beauty dish as key light and a white brolly as a fill light and no matter what I did the images were still really dark. At one point I was shooting at 2.8 1/50 and ISO 800 with both lights...

Ah I see, many thanks :)

Hello all, Forgive my stupidity please but how do I go about connecting my PW Flex TT5's to my Elinchrom heads? Thanks very much.

Good shout :)

That's the sort of thing yeah but at nearly £200 it's still a lot of money for what is essentially a pole.

Ahem, sorry. I'm after a boom for my Elinchrom Style 400 BX lights and was after some recommendations. I have seen the Elinchrom Polystand but that's a bit beyond my budget. Surely there must be something that I can attach to my existing stands rather than have to fork out for a whole...

Anyone?

Again, that's not quite what what I'm looking for. The process was fully automated and I'm sure all you had to do was load the images into a stack and then in one of the menus there is a command called "average" and hey presto - no pedestrians.

Thanks MM, that's not quite the thing I was looking for, I too have CS5 and the tutorial wasn't that complicated from what I recall but it totally eludes me.

I remember reading a tutorial a while ago whereby several images of a busy street scene were stacked together and then rendered in such a way to eliminate all the pedestrians. I think there was a function/command called "average" used along the way but I can't for the life of me find the...

Evening all, I am thinking about buying a basic home studio setup and was looking for reccomendations. I'm sure I've seen kits advertised that comprise a couple of strobe heads, softboxes, stands and a backdrop and stand. Budget would be around the £500 mark. Thanks in advance.

I bought one in April as an upgrade from my D5000 and I love it! If they're going cheap, it might be worth looking at getting another one as a backup like you said :)
