This. I fiddled around for about a year with high ISOs, ultra-shallow depth of field and the like, and eventually bought myself a Speedlite and learned how to use it properly. It was the best photography equipment decision I've ever made. Gear: Canon R10, Canon RFS 18-150, Canon RF 100-400

sirquack Goldmember  More info | Oct 04, 2013 15:19 | #18 Exactly what I decided to do with the external flash. Even a cheapo flash will completely change the game. Now that I have radio flash triggers (cheapo's as well) I fully expect my game to get to a completely different level. Name is Ron.

If you don't mind me asking what triggers do you use? right now I pretty much use 2 580 Ex2s to fire as a slave but I would love to get it off camera. ( sorry to hijack the thread ) Website

More info | Oct 04, 2013 17:13 | #24 Permanent banFor decent flash effects, I have set my 550EX to completely vertical and scotch taped a 3x5 card to the extended diffuser panel. Works great when wall and ceilings are too far for bounce. Dedicated APS-c shooter. Gripped 60D, 60 2.8, 10-22, 15-85, Σ70-200 OS and a big white something or other! Plus a 5D w/28-75.

Oct 07, 2013 09:34 | #26 YashicaFX2 wrote in post #16346032 Your camera is capable of the no-cost solution of shooting at ISO 6400. For best results, you will have to shoot raw, with some +EC, and spend at least a few minutes with DPP or LR, processing the images. With good lighting, your ISO 6400 shots can equal the in-camera jpg shots at 1600. Here is a quick 90-second edit on a raw file. 60D, 15-85, f/8, 1/50, +1EC, ISO 6400, 85mm from about 4 feet. Curious this reads as if you are saying the 60D and t3i will handle high ISO noise identically. Is this true? I come here for your expert opinion. Please do not hesitate to critique or edit.

Is this true? And I have a flash, radio transmitters, umbrella, the works. Thanks for the suggestions that is not what I'm asking about. (See earlier comments). Yes. They have the same sensor and if memory serves correctly, the same processor too. Fuji X-T3 // Fuji X-Pro2 (Full Spectrum) // Fuji X-H1 // Fuji X-T1
