Thanks Phil/Garry. Makes sense with the flash firing when the first curtain is in the open position - hence the second curtain is already on the move when over the sync speed. And the flash duration tails off significantly so if you could manage to fire on the second curtain moving the "tail"...

I understand flash sync speed - in that the focal plane shutter moves so that over a certain speed the curtain moves together as a slit, hence seeing a black bar if you go over the sync speed. However given that the flash itself has a certain duration, lets say 1/1000th of a second, what will...

In either Library or Develop Modes, select all the photos that you want to delete (using either Shift + Left moue click to select to-from, or CTRL+Left mouse click to select multiple individual pictures) then right mouse click on any of the selected photos. Click on "Remove Photo" from the popup...

I am swaying towards new Lencarta's (new as opposed to second hand, warranty, uk repair facilities etc etc) but their pricing structure seems a little wayward. I'll PM Garry with my concerns rather than air them here. Thanks everyone for your replies.

Thanks for al your replys - much apprectiated. This is one of the reasons I was looking at the new Lencarta's. I know I would have a warranty and the kit price is probably a bit less than buying second hand Elinchrom or Bowens. I may not have made myself clear - I didn't intend to buy an...

I've been looking to get a set of studio lights for a home studio. I don't want to spend a fortune so have been looking at buying second hand from ebay. I've been looking at Elinchrom D-Lite 4's and the Bowens Gemini 400/500 all in their various guises. They all seem to be around the £400-500...

Do people have to install dropbox to be able to access the photos though?

Hi Kev, I've looked at the flikr guest pass but can't quite work it out. Does it give access to all my private sets, and do the users have to sign up to flikr to use the guest pass? I have drop box, but as with the guest pass I would need to add users. I was hoping to have a site somehow that I...

Hi, Thanks for that Betty - I'll try the chair and see if I can look down on them. I'm hoping that they will be forming an orderly queue and I should have help from some of the other charity member to keep them moving. I will certainly have some time before the rush starts to get a few practice...

So I've posted up about a charity shoot in another part of the forum. So getting the pictures hopefully should happen. So I need to be able to display the picture on the tinterweb, but I only want the people from the charity to see the photos. I have flikr where I normally host my photo's but...

I help out a charity on a regular basis. Their yearly AGM is coming up in a couple of weeks and I have been ask to do the photo's. Now there are a couple of challenges I'm facing - these will be formal pictures using studio lights. 1) Poses. Now a lot of the people, due to the nature of the...

oooops :exit: Seems like someone forgot to plug in the ATX_12 power connector. All works now - thanks for all your help.

Still playing around - got an older card in and that doesn't work either. Everything powers on just nothing out of the graphics card. Also tried both in the other PCi x4 slot and that still doesn't work.
