Optical triggers should do the trick.

thanks,

i made a new thread and then realized i can just fire the 430EX which triggers the studio flashes, so its all ok.

thanks!

Blackshadow (don't know your name, sorry), at the gig yesterday there was one other photographer. He was using a 5D2 swapping between a 17-40 f/4 and a 70-200 f/4, I'm not sure what ISO he was shooting at but the slower glass definitely didn't hold him back! That 5D2 is amazing.

I should have my shots up on flickr tomorrow, I'll send you the link if you're interested.

It was me My 450D morphed into a 5D2.
What ISO were you generally at moose?

Yeah, his name is Corey Sleap. His flickr username is 'corex', I don't think he's got any from yesterday up yet either but he's got some previous shots on there.

1600. I left it there. The bands were all hardcore so the lights were inconsistent and I used f/2.8 the whole time. I was lusting the 5D2 so bad

Edit: My shutter speed didn't top 1/125 unless the meter got confused by a light. It was mostly 1/80, I think.

First photo thread in ages... was uploading them to somewhere else and figured I'd show a few in here, too.

I'm happy to organise the Honl group buy, I did it last time. I'll see if there's enough interest

I own a Rayflash which has same basic design. Unless somehow the cheap copy has worked out how to not have the external metering sensor and the AF-assist beam emitter of the flash unit pointing straight into a lump of black plastic it will be just as useless.

I thought I was only going in for the travel expo. After Maggie was shot with Jules Lund I was told that Catriona Rowntree was there yesterday and on top of her assets she's incredibly petite.

That's crap luck.

She used to live up the road from me. Her parents are still in the place, and her sister is a looker too.

I'd be up for something, in it for the swatch book though.

Clipsal 500 in Adeliade. Here a few favourites from my first review of the 300 and something pics I took.

On the track:
Ready, ready.......
