Nicely shot, I think you've got room to crop a little and lose some of the b/ g without loosing the feel of the rally.

Thanks Nigel,

If you've not seen his videos before, highly recommend Damiam LoveGroves " illumination 1 and 2 " download-able for £30, check out his website.

On the Quadras, I can plug in a separate trigger, done it before when I've combined mains and portable flash, so I'm hoping the Cactus Vii's will work the same way. The built in receivers with camera trigger allows power changes remotely, stacking might work, will try it.

It's not to much hassle to walk to the units if they won't communicate re power changes, as I think on location trackside, it'll be pretty much full power anyway.

I have had a number of large 'poster prints' done by this online service, FOTO.com ... link

These have been around 24 x 35in, with very high quality, in fact really indistinguishable from 7x5 prints even when looked at closely. And this is from the 14.5 mpx K7!!

You don't need to worry about the print resolution frankly .... just upload to them a 'max quality' jpeg, at full size, their software sorts it all out anyway. If there is any upscaling or interpolation involved then it is pretty damn good! I doubt you need 300ppi files for wall prints anyway, I'd have thought 200 was OK, but as I said if you're relying on an online service just let them worry about it.
I agree with this, I've had 48 x 36 printed by these guys and agree with Nigel's comment's, let the Lab sort it, costs are good, quality excellent and the turna round about 5 days, they come delivered in a good sized cardboard tube.

If I find these work HSS with my Quadra's, at the moment, I reckon they will, I'll invest in a 3rd Trigger as I have a mountain bike shoot through a forest to do next year.

Thanks Sebas77,

Have you tried it ?

The blurb says speeds up to 1/8000 sec, I'd prob only go to 1/2000 sec, have you had reasonable results so far ?
