Dude only your camera sits on the tripod, you can't mount it also.


No wonder they're breaking!

its been awhile anyway went down to Wakefield on the weekend... personally i find wakefield quite boring to shoot at as its pretty much panning all the time... usually when i get bored i go slower on the shutter as i find it challenging lol... also had a go at a 30d and its 20x better then my 350d lol...40d is on the shopping list now... here are my favorite shots:

thanks guys... casey i tested out a circular polriser filter

i jsut use the sliders in lightroom to edit my motorsport pics

28th July 2008 - 06:16 PM  Reply  Quote

sick, sliders?

ohh u mean the colour sliders? to increase saturation...

28th July 2008 - 06:22 PM  Reply  Quote

yep

28th July 2008 - 06:40 PM  Reply  Quote

same

how is flash stuff going, when i get my stuff ill have 3 off camera flashes, how many can you have if you keep just gettting receivers, how many can you run of like 1 main trigger?

28th July 2008 - 06:57 PM  Reply  Quote

im running 4 flashes of the one main one...

i want to get pocket wizards as these are not the most reliable..

28th July 2008 - 10:35 PM  Reply  Quote

Pocket wizards are pretty much one of the most expensive systems, have a look around - plenty of other systems just as good but without the expensive tag eg elinchrom etc...

29th July 2008 - 06:55 AM  Reply  Quote

yeah thats true... but ill never have to upgrade...and its ufcking annoying when u set everything up... take a shot and 1 flash doesnt fire... somehting that should take 5mins takes 20mins

29th July 2008 - 08:40 AM  Reply  Quote

why wouldnt the flash fire... ?

29th July 2008 - 04:38 PM  Reply  Quote

reciever wasent getting the signal... so i would have to move it then it would fire...
