I've got two YN460's and they've been quite good, but for a little more you can buy a lot of the newer ones. There's a YN560, which is as powerful as a 580EX II but has manual only controls, that is coming out soon for no more than US$75 apparently. Look on eBay for hkyongnuophotoequipmen​t. Don't buy a YN flash from anywhere else.

Thanks for that Moose, you had any experience with their triggers? I've been using Cactus 4's but with mine recently dieing I wouldn't mind trying something different. Was looking specifically at The RF-602 set.

Thanks in advance

Of course there can be argument - a penalty/red card should only be awarded if a player uses his hand/arm to contact the ball intentionally. There is no way on Earth Kewell made intentional contact.

Then there was the extremely crude tackle made by one of the Ghanains that should have been a red card not a yellow.

I'll get back in my box now.

Well back in my pool for me,

winter swimming....brrrr...

first swim since Rainbow Beach, I guess the ocean pool water will be the same temp!!!

You should organise to get it heated Damo.

I haven't swum for ages =[, got into a really good routine of going straight after work for a while there, but I've been lazy, and it's heated too . The surfing keeps me fit enough but I was really enjoying the swimming and it felt good to be back in the pool again after doing it so much when I was young(er).

When in doubt call or go in and see them. Don't rely on emails, they are too easy to ignore.

055 has worked very well for me - I looked at the 190 and decided I needed the extra height and strength of the 055

Well I've only had it for a week, it worked well for that week, but I chose it for the same reasons

Still looking for a 430EX-II to buy.
Still selling my 580EX-II.

Put two and two together, and ultimately would be looking for swapover of my 580EX-II, for your 430EX-II plus cash to me.

I've got their CTR-301P triggers, which have worked 100% since the day I got them (as have the YN460's) but I've never used the RF602's. My mate has RF602's with one YN460 and as far as I know, everything's been 100% all the same.

I've had a gutful. I'm boycotting pizza for a week.

I'm not going to quote everything about the topic, but this one I will. The ref clearly did what every other ref did and panicked. They all do and it's just annoying now. There was no reason for the sending off. We played decently and Wilkshire, for the amazing game that he played, woulda/coulda/shoulda buried his chance.

I think it's still quite possible that we'll qualify. A Germany or Ghana win and a winning margin of 2 or more for us is all we need. Although if Ghana win, I think we can get away with a 1-0 win. We played well, and with 11 men and the intent that we showed, despite not shooting as much as we should have, we should get it.

It doesn't matter how well we played, or were playing at the time. Any malicious tactic (Whether it's intentional or not) on the last line of defense (Ie. Kewell was standing on the baseline) is a red card offence.

I don't think the ref panicked I think the ref did what any other ref would have done. We weren't hard done by at all, the ref had no choice. The ball hit basically smack in the middle of the cutoff of the sleeve, that's a valid reason to pull up a handball.

The experts are generally saying it was a red-cardable offense - not all agree it should have been a red rather than a yellow, but they are mostly saying that it's not a WRONG call. The non-experts are sure we wuz robbed.

And it will take a miracle for us to get through - Serbia are a very god soccer team, and 2-0 or3-0 results are pretty rare, let alone needing that to happen in two games.

Shipment is still in Sydney, it seems.

PCB has received a fair kicking over on FM, so that's good too

That's just it though, the position of Kewell meant the ref couldn't give a yellow.

Damn the bandwagon!

@Ed - what dish are you getting mate? If it's a Mola where'd you grab it from... I can't find them anywhere in stock?

For anyone that's interested... looks like Kayell is selling Redrock DSLR rigs - http://www.kayellaustr​alia.com.au/static/red​rock/

This gets my vote for stupid thread of the day: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=886704

Apparently the mods are unaware of people using iPads to control their cameras for, say, space shuttle launch photography, or to show off their portfolios, or to preview/upload their photos via the accessory card reader ...

Kill me now, I'm over sorting through 1000's of aerobics photos. I really need to stop procrastinating and get myself away from the lighting / people forums ebay is taking a hammering:o
