Price ?

I wonder what the price of the lens to match the 'cap would be ?

There is a Hill Climb and Classic Car & Bike Show at Bo'ness, Scotland this weekend.

May be worth a visit if the weather is good ?

This may be a very short thread, unfortunately

Just saw your picture, wow !!! Nice collection !!!

Must look out my crowbar, 'Swag' bag, gloves, balaclava, stripe jumper and glass cutters, all I need now is your full address and a time when the house is empty ?

Here is my entry for the 'Windolene Competition"

I'll give you £10 for the flash ?

Just joking, all of the advice above is good, just play with it a lot and become more confident.

Flash isn't easy but it can be a good tool.

Let's see the pictures !

That's a shot from me and a couple from Don, get going with your new flash, and we want to see your pictures.

There is a lot to experiment with, what if I had used a green satin sheet as the reflector, what would the results have been like ?

You can try that for me ?

I feel I may have put you off flash forever, that was not my intention.

Don is right, experiment and practice is the key, you won't get flash right every time.

I took a few test shots here at different apertures, bounced the flash from a light coloured wall on the right, got someone to hold a white bed-sheet on the left to reflect the light and it seemed to work out all right.

I did smooth the back-ground in PhotoShop, but ignore that, I was trying to show you can get even lighting with one flash and a wee bit of creative thinking, i.e. a bed-sheet.

K10D + 18-55mm Pentax kit lens + Pentax AF500FTZ flash on manual.

It seems to me that the flash light is even and not harsh ?

From my own experience,

1. Never use flash, so throw it away

2. If you feel you have to use it, try candles or matches or torches first

3. Never use 'Auto' on the flash, set it to manual and take lots of test shots at various apertures

4. Get "MattMatic's" guide to Pentax Flash if you feel you want to go down the flash route.


p.s. - No.4 can be substituted for No.1, Matt's guide is excellent.
