Just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some fantastic photography in that magazine too.

Still one of my goals to get a photo on the life website a few of my friends have and its like a right of passage.... maybe one day

For noise reduction I don't think lr3 can be beaten....

I have seen more lenses by broken filters scratching the front element than any filter save a lens.

I never use a filter for what its worth...

At 2.4 this lens rocks...

Weekend off but got 3 assignments due next week for my business degree so best get knuckle down on those....

The settings where crazy

ISO 1600
Shutter 1/180
F?5.6
And flash manual set to 1/128

Like I said crazy settings anything less than f/5.6 just resulted in everything being blown out...

as you can see in this shot three LED light rigs, the stage was blasting with them, I will try & find an image without flash to show you the difference, so yeah definitely switch the flash on..

Hi Ken


Somehow I misses thus thread. The only solution I have found is to use a small amount of fill flash. This seems to lighten up the subject just enough. But thus is also brings the problem of harsh colour edges. If you look at my photos of the ting tings I recently posted you will see the results. These lights are causing issues for all brands of camera and a lot of music togs are not shooting bands now who use them...

Unfortunately the situation is going to get worse they use so little power so more and more theatres venues and festivals are going to use them...

I use the duracell 200x cards & they are very good, I get 20 shots before the buffer fills & starts stuttering..

Bump before ebay
