not sure if the A80 has a hotshoe?

bahaha. I can imagine photographs in my head

When I saw that 1dsmk1 go out my door. I felt a pain in my chest. Oh dear. Ah well, gone to a good photographer. Tested the 1dsmk1 on a 16-35mm

No, but it does have a manual flash, and I do have a couple of optical triggers (I think one is Pete's?).

Matt, it's not being used if you really want to test your creative ablities


I was thinking of useing an optical trigger with a wireless transmitter in it held close to the flash, that would then trigger a remote flash on a wireless reciever.

ARGHHHHH ALIENS!

ARGHHHHHHH MOOORE ALIENS!!!!

Lance what are they?

Matt did you point them to us? We seem to need some new memebers.
Fresh blood and all.

They are a springtail(collembola) and a 4 spined weevil!

Looking foward to seeing more from the 500mm

Lance, You know... I have no idea how you take these photos... I can never get decent macro shots at this kind of distance... by the time I've focused they've moved and are out of focus again. Just stunning work.

Mark what were you up to

Well I kind of like it...

Yes but why?

It is, as with much (though not all) of your sports stuff, frozen to the point of being as entertaining as seeing statues. You know there's movement because they're gurning like idiots, but the shot(s) convey no emotion and no sense of drama or action.
