Thanks Nigel and Derek,

My fav is the first one, the model would have been in silhouette if flash hadn't been used, I had to balance the white dress with enough light on her face.

As mentioned above all the indications you've put and have answered from PU members point more than likely to a card issue not a camera fault.

Good Afternoon All,

My first serious attempt with the Cactus V6ii triggers and RF60X flash unit V strong direct sunlight, I say first attempt, only because we've not had that much decent sunshine so far this year and when I've had a suitable lass booked as well.

The first image I was against strong backlight sunshine, shot about 10:30am yesterday, as can be seen by the shadow of the lady and the building is in shadow as well.

All K1 with Sigma 85mm F1.4 @ F1.4, ISO 100 the top image the flash was 1/2 power from 2m distance and the other 2 it were 1/4 power and about the same distance.

Shutter speed 1/1600 F1.4 100 ISO

Worth considering the Cactus RF60x and a Cactus V6ii trigger, lets you use the flash so normal and combined with the trigger full sync up to 1/8000 sec.

The flash would be about £130 and the triggers are around £60, the flash has a build in receiver so you only need a trigger for the camera when used on a stand
