Boxing - Pentax 16-45mm F4 or Sigma 24-70mm F2.8
And with a "protector" filter on the front. Use the 16-45 - with continuous random movement you are more likely to capture it all. Light should not be an issue and if possible stop down to get a decent DoF and maybe set it to bracket at +/- 0.3 which will allow for changing light and potentially...

Taking my k30 skiing... Any advise
Be careful taking it between warm and cold environments - plenty of condensation so let it acclimatise. Experiment with a UV filter - it will stop/reduce condensation on the front lens element and mountains are always high in UV. Shoot RAW so you can post process. Bracket at +/- 0.5 or 1...

MONO
I love mono. What I hate is when people think mono turns a c**p picture into art. I had a far better eye for mono in the old days. I knew what filter/film combinations would do to a shot before I ever reached the darkroom. But I think my memory has faded (like many of my prints)!

Flash with filter
Hi, I'm normally not to keen on using the flash. However sometimes it is the only way. It always looked to me to cold. i tried to use various White balance settings, but this didn't seem to work that well. Plus I then forgot to set it back to dayligt during normal operation. I bought this Ti...

I occassionlly use Kinoflo lights but find the tungsten tubes to warm and the daylight ones too cold so I mix 3 tungsten tubes with 1 daylight and vice versa.

Hi Horst, what program do you use to edit with? I too have been experimenting with flash and find the pictures a bit on the cool side. Try adjusting the white balance by a couple of hundred when opened to edit, it can make all the difference (notice the cool blue cast to the wall in the first shot ...

well, what i tried to do is to use the simplest way of achieving the result I like. The problem with all the functions in the menu is, that you first have to find them every time You want to use them and then reset them to your favorite position. Of course many of you have no problems with this,...

It looks a bit warm in the second shot but if this is just how you prefer your shots to look that's fine! You could try fixing a correction gel to the flash itself, rather than using a filter. You could cut it to size and actually glue it to the pop up flash. Have you tried using the Flash white ...

I cut up an old Cokin 81A filter and selotaped it across the front of my Metz, for this exact reason. Dan

Hi, I received a set of Set of ROSCO flash gel filters fro England and mounted one which I thought will do the trick on to my flash gun. It worked. Saves me a lot of money having to buy screw on filters for all the different lens sizes. Thanks to you guys who recommended this type of filters...

I like the improvement with the second picture Horst. I think it gives a preferred atmosphere. I would suggest that you try and get a swivel flash. If you could bounce the flash from the ceiling it gives added depth with shadowing and helps reduce the slightly distracting reflection you have in a...

It does make a difference with the correct filter. I suppose you can adjust the white balance in your camera, but it is quite tedious and easy forgotten to be returned to normal. To much effort.!! I just bought a Flash holder bracket. This has provision for swiveling the flash. It should...

You can get quite powerful WB control with even the hotshow flash in manual - by adjusting shutter speed & aperture. Under tungsten lighting you have two light sources, the warmer ambient light from the tungsten and the cool flash light. Assuming the aperture is not too critical you can quite delica...

We had a talk from a lighting man who suggested the cold/bluish flash could "bring out" the purple of veins particularly. This enhancement could not be easily undone in post processing and better to reduce it at source. A little warming of the lighting/flash with a filter would reduce this. ...
