Must admit when I saw this the other day (daylight) I also thought it needed better lighting so didn't bother posting a comment. Seeing it tonight in a well lit room it looks totally different and the lighting is spot on.

Even viewing pictures at different times of the day makes such a difference.
Thanks Mike, I'm pleased you took a second look.

Evening Stuart,

IMHO....... this is better than TTL when you understsnd the concept, which is pretty easy,

I'd be happy to meet and demo with you, its cost effective as well, plus gives you loads of creative options, just by moving the flash a few feet back or forward.

In addition to the suggestion John's made, check the slider on the card isn't in the lock position.

Nice portrait... Well done Chris..

I'm interested in more info on the HSS set up. Mainly in what you have used to trigger the flash..?
Afternoon Stuart

I used a cactus v6ii as the trigger / receiver linked to a cactus flash RF60 flash which has its own built in receiver, I do have another V6ii cactus trigger / receiver which I sometimes use with a Metz flash and they work perfectly.

Thanks Peter, I didnt wish to over flash the lass, just balance the shot with the available natural light and also use the flash to freeze the movement.

Thanks John, - I was shooting the event for one of the sponsors and had shot the team with the appliance an hour or so earlier, on another walk past them I noticed the reflection in the lassies sunglasses whilst she was talking to a few locals, I waited until she was free, then briefly discussed the idea and she was happy to be directed into the right position.
