Hi all. Been using my Canon 450D out with setting up a photoshoot with my 3YO Granddaughter in the spare bedroom with pretty decent results (for me and the family like them!). I've also had a go at gig photography, and I've had a go at star trails and waterfall long exposures etc. Some noise...

What about using welding mask glass?

There's another great app that tracks the Space Station with info on tracking the flight direction/elevation/time it is visible and even gives an idea of the weather for the best clear skies... ISS Detector

Looking bleak. Ran the program a couple of times and as as said earlier, the files look like they are there but they won't open in any program! Posted on the company webforum but no luck there either. won't used the card again and will keep it for when some new info turns up.

Thanks, DayDreamer... Downloaded the free version and ran it... ...looked promising, seemed to find the missing files, saved to new folder, but now I can't seem to be able to open them to view. Icons there, but no program will open them (Media viewer, PSP, PS etc) Will have to look closer in...

There's 5 folders... 1st has one CR2 file 2nd has the 49 old photos from a few weeks back 3rd has a few from today 4th has two .CTG files 5th is empty... :-( ps that's looking at the card on the laptop!

Can anyone help? Been out today, snapping away a few holiday memories using Canon S95 and they've disappeared from the camera and memory card!!! Have been reviewing the photos no problem after being taken, but then all of a sudden they seem to all have gone except a few photos from a few weeks...

Off to a concert and would like to get some half decent shots with a compact camera as my 450D won't be allowed in. Looking at the Canon SX220HS for the zoom/ISO 3200 etc against maybe the Canon S90/95 for the RAW format but lesser zoom etc F1.8 or 2 against 'super' zoom? Any...

Camerabox have two in stock at £270

Thanks Gary. Looks like I'll be shelling out!!! If you don't mind me asking... Would getting two YN-460's as opposed to one YN-467 i-TTL or YN-468 TTL be a better set up for the price? The YN-460 being half the price of the others. Would they work with the 'Remote Radio Wireless Flash Trigger+2...

Phew! Quite a lot to take in it seems! Thought most flashes used about the same power if they had hot-shoe connector and internal batteries...obviously not!? I really just wanted a simple-ish set up of maybe two off camera flash units fired by 'Remote Radio Wireless Flash Trigger+2 Receiver' I...

(Originally had this post in equipment thread - sorry!) Looking at purchasing some flash units for my Canon 450d. The YN-460 Speedlight seems to be a good start for the price and able to vary the power output level. I have also found a couple of old flash units off older SLRs and I'm...

Bit pricey. Thought the YN-460 Speedlite might do for now...around £35. Looking at trying waterdrop photography and read about flash output at 1/128th etc??? Was hoping the other flashes I mentioned would be useful in the meanwhile and/or useful as a secondary light source using remote...

SORRY: I've now put this post in to the Lighting thread! Looking at purchasing some flash units for my Canon 450d. The YN-460 Speedlight seems to be a good start for the price and able to vary the power output level. I have also found a couple of old flash units off older SLRs and I'm...

Doh...yes, makes sense now! Getting confused working out the best set-up (lens/tubes/settings) and lost my way a bit :bonk: Thanks
