Cheers for that... Will check the above out....

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone out there cycles & goes moutain biking with your camera? Looking to buy a back pack fit for the job, not to bulky....carrying dslr and upto a 200mm lens... Any thoughts or recommendations would be really appreciated.

Hi Gary, these are straight out the camera... & no I've not used a softbox, I don't have one but looking to buy one... Ones been recommended on another thread... I don't have another flash at the moment... Will try a reflector next time see how that goes.... Anyone else got any other advise...

Little update with advise from above and also purchased a pair yn 622s remote triggers.... I've had another go, moved little man a little further away from the background, off camera flash from the left at -1/3 power I think.... Feel I've got the black background perfect? Now I want to get the...

Yes I was thinking one for protection... Extension tubes?

Looking a little help on the above photograph, I like this style and trying to get it right, I've pegged up black felt, sat my little man around 50cm in front of it, got a canon speed lite 430ex to the left around 50cm from him, using the canon 650d to remote fire the flash, by doing this the...
