You can even project patterns onto the model or backround, theres an idea Nathan, project some sheet music. Even do it with a digital projector but more expensive

the model chose this overexposed shot because it is more artistic
Tell her to stick to singing then

This last shot shows at least YOU know what your doing

I use a Benbo monopod, essential with the Bigma and Amin I think you made the right choice with a ball head.

The benefit of a monopod over a tripod is you can leave the SR switched on

1) I normally dont like this sort of lighting on female subjects but this one seems to work OK

2) great shot, I didn't notice the lighting on the nose till Don pointed it out, just shows you dont need eye contact for a good portrait, you just need caterpillars

3) Who shone the flashlight in her face? nice idea with the gels and hotspots and inclusion of the music, but go back to the drawing board with this one.

4) Cant really fault the lighting as I think its spot on, but I dont like the disapearing hand.

Nice shot for a handheld David, even allowing for the SR. But you didn't have to go as slow as 1/6th the get the water to blur

Nice pictures, but possibly due to the sun being directly overhead, they look a bit flat.

I tend to agree, plus I think theyre a tad overexposed, adjusting the levels a bit would bring them to life, on the second shot I would crop the sky out completely.

PS; I'm only jealous cos' I dont have the 60-250 yet

Hang on Cliff, you have shots of a plane taking off and the last shot of a dog looking wistfully at the sky?

Hasn't someone done that before on movie film

Best shot in my opinion is.....

....WOOF!

Didn't jessops do a cheapo version of the 360? without some of the functions of course.

If you do decide to look for a second hand AF360 beware that this gun suffers from a problem with the battery compartment door, the lugs that hold the door firmly closed tend to break off.
