Just an idea that worked for me... try walking with them/just in front through the sparkler tunnel. I got loads of shots with different guests as we moved through [emoji4]

This can be a tricky one to tackle unless you’ve planned it. I’m a wedding photographer and have done this type of shot on request by bride & groom wanted a shot in a sparkler tunnel outside in the evening. Here are some friendly pointers... Firstly I advised the bride there maybe a possibility...

Many thanks for your reply, well noted [emoji1303]

I bought the 4.6m USB3 Tethertools cable, and also the 5m extension. I shoot in raw so file sizes average at 40mb. Shooting lifestyle & interiors so not looking for rapid shooting but more reliability that the shots I do take faultlessly go into my laptop to view. Thanks for your advice, I will...

Hi, I’ve just purchased a TetherPro cable so I can shoot into my MacBook Pro via Lightroom. I’m now wondering whether I need to purchase the TetherBoost add on & add a power source to increase stability? Does anybody know if this is really necessary as they are quite expensive. Really appreciate...

Many thanks for all replies, I'll check them all out. Really appreciate the help, Rich

I love to shoot portraits and use my MacBook Pro - via a long USB cable to tether and view the shots as I take them. But rather than using a heavy laptop I want to go lighter and just use a tablet so I can preview the shots as I take them. I do not want the function to edit, just purely to...

I'm using SB800's & SB700's in remote mode and triggered with a SU800 commander on my D3. Problem is the SB800's rapidly go in to standby mode so I physically have to go to them to wake em back up. The 'standby' settings are not available in 'Remote' mode, how can standby be cancelled?!, can...

Many thanks Phil. I did try all modes on the Speedlight but yes I'll try the manual. Good one, thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Talk Photography Forums

Hi, does anyone know if a Nikon SU800 commander will work on Yongnuo 560 speed lights? My setup is a D3, 2x sb800 & 3x YN560s - triggered by the SB800. All speed lights do fire, the SB800 using ttl & the YN560s are manual. All off camera wireless lighting. So the problem is when reviewing the...

Many thanks Dave, I forgot to mention I am based in the UK south east area and would ideally need somewhere I can drive to in the same day. Cheers Woody

Hi, could anyone recommend a wedding portfolio building course. I am looking to pad out my portfolio with great images using models and a lovely venue. Many thanks in advance, Woody

I think you have solved my issue, fantastic. I found a beauty dish 56cm with a Bowes S type fitting for £80 + the idea of using the lastolite 2 speedlight bracket is genius. It should fit, but will check! This will save on all that overpriced renting for what I need. You have made my night...

Many thanks guys, thanks for the speedy response. Yeah I think a dish from eBay sounds like the ticket and I'll use an SB 800 on manual settings, good to know about the ittl. Its for personal work not a paying job so I can gauge how it works out on the dish size and power, and not worry about...
