Very nice , tempted to buy a set and see how good they are. Got to say though Yongnuo have proved to be such a good brand for me.

I'm looking at getting some of those already I use their flashes and triggers and never had a problem.

One from today from a shoot with my favourite model and good friend Sian aka The Bullet Mistress.

I'm very tempted by these.. I love the RF-602's I have so adding ETTL is the next step! Will they be ok with my 430ex mk1's?

I did consider going down that route but made the mistake of playing with Mark's 600 and st.... I also wanted more power and quicker recycling time from than my 430s had to offer so the 600 ticked all the boxes. Postie made it and had a play and first impressions very pleased. Have to sell some bits now to fund a second 600

Like this one, are you trying to trick us into believing spring is on its way??

I like it, if I am nit picking her hair does leave a very slight shadow on her face. I am glad I don't do portraits looks too fidly to get things perfect.

I have a horse shoot on Friday which should be fun, sort of pictures the owner wants involves plenty of OCF so I hope the horse is not too jumpy.

Thank Adrian, I'm still having difficulty with shadows from hair and when I try to edit them out it just looks odd so I leave them.
For your horse shoot you will need plenty of flash and or a reflector or three and horses are light sponges the coat will soak up any light you throw at it .

Wow that one is something special

Thanks all. As with much of photography, it was a matter of being at the right place at the right time. My only regret is that it was shot with an old Nikon Coolpix 5700 camera, so the JPEG image quality is pretty low and noisy (lot of JPEG artifacts).

Really like this collage -- nice and clean.

Astronomy is my other passion, and living in the mountains, I finally got to do it in real life (as opposed to reading about it or looking at pictures in a book). Got an 8" telescope for viewing and then added a 6" for astrophotography.

1. The image of Sombrero Galaxy had always fascinated me as a child, so I was happy to have shot it myself:

Nice astro shots Fuzz.

I think I'm going to have to give THIS a go sometime.

Might venture out this afternoon and see if the 6D can turn a bleak dismal day into anything good

those astronomy shots are frickin amazing fuzz! Love them.

Veeeery long day yesterday - shot a wedding video in Cambridge. Left kent just before 8am and didnt arrive home until 3am! So much snow, made for a really difficult set of conditions for the day but i think we came away with great footage. The groom was a nutter and was doing Klinsman slides across the snow covered lawn with his groomsmen - in their suits!

Know what you mean re the pp'ing, that happens to me, the more you fiddle the more unnatural it looks.

Re the horse photography I worried about the power of my flashes and hoping for a cloudy day. I have seen some good stuff done with one flash so we will see.

That looks interesting, could also do it with a couple

2. Hubble's Pillars of Creation was another image that in recent years rekindled my interest in astronomy, so I wanted to capture them myself:

3. The amazing thing about this image is that I shot it with a 70-200 f/4 lens on a 40D (mounted on a tracking telescope mount obviously):

4. Cool thing about this is that this is earthshine -- the moon being lit up by sunlight reflected off Earth.:

5. Shot with the 28-300L lens:

6. One of my last astro shots before leaving Colorado -- and I managed to capture a supernova; it is the bright cyan spot at about 3 o'clock of the centre (better visible in this comparison against a shot I took a few years ago):

Some great shots and amazed some of them are done with everyday lenses!!

Re your lake shot, if you are not happy with it makes an excuse to go back

I think I've just found and bought the only copy of Advanced Photographer in Folkestone so I can now read all about Mr Bridger in his own words, I also came away away with another couple of mags after seeing the front covers and thinking that looks interesting looking at the article and then thinking I'll get it then I can have a read and give it a go so it turned into an expensive trip out.

Morning all.. Like Rob I had the (not quite soo long) day at the same wedding, very challenging shooting a big wedding in heavy snow blizzards, but I think we pulled of some good stuff


Seeing as I haven't been of for ages, I thought I'd post something recent.

My friends punk band were headlining at the 100 Club the other week, so I grabbed a few piccies
