Hi Amin,
Great idea, I hope you don't mind me putting a new slant on it.

I give most of my event files away, the DLI association are glad to get pictures to use in their local mag or they may be used in the Rifles mag.
Our club also gets involved in local events and we supply files to the various organisations. Over the past few years we have held many exhibitions in venues from the Sage at Gateshead to local community centres.
Selected images are used in club competitions, but I have none on display at home.

Last event; Raising the Flag

This weekend;Armed Forces Day

Rabbits come out at dusk to feed and that is when they are vulnerable to a marksman with a rifle. I remember a few years ago when I was fishing a marksman was shooting rabbits you would here the crack of the gun being fired then nothing or a sickening thud if the rabbit was hit.

Back on topic, I tried the flashes out on Saturday morning, it was my intention to use the 330 on the camera in SB mode and the 500 off camera as the flash to prevent red eye. I found when one of the cameras was switched to SB it set the other one to SB ( hot shoes & 5p cable was used ). So in the end I used them as above and at times there would have been two beams if both of the flash guns were switched on. I took about one hundred and fifty pictures and had to scrap less than ten, most of which were exposure problems due to the flashes not been charged.

I volunteered to help out at this mornings Midnight Walk in Durham, there were over eight hundred ladies taking part.It was a bit of a challenge as the red pattern focus assist projected by the flash was a waste of time.
Next year I will leave my Pentax 500ftz & 330ftz at home and just use my Metz 40mz-2.
Pic 4 is Denise Robertson with Bad Lashes.

This is my favourite view, taken from the lantern.
