Found lurking in the garden
The AF160FC has a number of advantages over the AF140C. 1: It is P-TTL and TTL compatible. 2: It has more manual output settings, full, 1/4, 1/16, +0.5 Auto, -0.5, & -1.0. 3:The LED modelling lights are much better than the tungsten ones in the AF140C 4: You have more control over the lighting...

Found lurking in the garden
You'll not be disappointed by the AF160FC, it's streets ahead of the AF080C. I had one for a while but soon sold at and bought McBrian's AF140C. That's now gone to a forum member in Canada. The 160 is a lot easier to use than my twin AF240FT flash rig, if you remember it. I still have it but have...

Brilliant photos Amin, I can't see them being any better whatever camera you are using .. you have a natural talent for photography and I think you should challenge yourself more by selling your high end camera and...

First proper bash at portraits
I'm absolutely not sure about the fact that Snootchies needs another flash. AT ALL. Flash is a very VERY complicated thing to work out, and in portraiture, one wouldn't want to start experimenting with flash until long after having mastered natural light. therefore, here are my suggestions. ...

Insects in Flight
Jeanette, The composition of your image is just about perfect. I can't see enough detail from the small image but may I voice my observations based on your EXIF info. 1: There's no hard and fast rule about what aperture to use except that f5.8 will produce a narrow depth of field (DOF). My pre...

wild flower
What a co-incidence; "here's one I made earlier" or at least, took yesterday. A "Herb Robert" - well now I know what it's called - it's an interesting flower. Back on topic though - I like the shot Kris. Took this one with the Tammy. To be honest; I'm quite pleased with the results I'm...

Another Street Portrait
Not sure if this is worth keepin' or not? His left eye is in focus, but his right is not, due to the angle. The DoF at f4 is too shallow, I shoulda' shot at f5/5.6. :( WTH, this ain't no studio, its the street! :)

Another Street Portrait
Keep it :), a bit out of focus as you said somewhere, but his face shows something and that gives this photo a lot. Strangely enough the bushy, twisted eyebrow in the middle is something that got my attention for a while, it is like sort of symbolic thingy with all of these twists in all directions.

Longbow
Slightly OT but related to it. I once worked for a company who were involved in testing the strength and elasticity of the longbows that were recovered from the Marie Rose, Henry VIII's flagship. The exercise was shown in a TV programme, Time Team I think it was, with Tony Robinson. Some of th...

Longbow
Longbow beats the crossbow any day, greater distance achieved, and better penetration Thats not quite true Roscoe, the crossbow had the range but where it failed was its rate of fire, English Archers would whether the storm of crossbow bolts then run forward and could loose off up to a dozen arrows ...

Imperial War Museum, London
Interesting picture Paul, I've never seen the close-up details of how a bi-plane was made before, I don't like the black and white, because I'm only interested in the details. Can't believe they used all that wire. They once had a cut-out "Metal Joint" of about six metal parts of a German airship in...

New K20D with new sigma 105mm macro lens
I would also crop and focus more on the center of your flower...the eye wants to wander there and study it. I think it would be a stunning picture if you go into the center. Good luck with your new camera:D:D:)
