Ahhh
Cool
Heh
So, I would only have to buy one, nothing else?
What is the wireless range on these flashguns?

I use a K100D, any problems with compatability? (You mentioned they work fully with the 10D)

Thanks for the help,
Rob

Okay this is going to sound pretty stupid to most of you im guessing
Say, I buy a flashgun
Whats the thing called that allows me to hold the flashgun off-camera via a cord (to the hotshoe??)
Are they expensive?
Im very new to lighting/flash etc.
Also, im looking at buying a flashgun, which would be better
Pentax AF360FGZ or the Sigma EF 530 DG Super (considering the Sigma is £20 more)
And I dont really care about the badge.

I prefer 600 height for portrait shots, and 700length for landscape shots.
Personal preference though, even from switching 1024x768 to 1680x1050 resolution.

Oh, and I use full quality
Otherwise people will be like
"Your images are really noisy, use a lower ISO"
"Your images are really soft, that lens is useless"
Or something

Not quite, the DA* 50-135mm is a 1:2.8 lens.
Yeah, I didnt really think when I said that
I just knew it wasnt at its optimum
Still, almost wide open.

Id say that was a reasonably sharp shot
Its shot wide open though (F/3.2)
You couldve reduced the exposure down to increase the aperture to around F/5.6 (The optimum sharpness for the 50-135mm lens)

To try some tests, set up a tripod, test your 18-55 at 50mm against the 50-135 at 50mm, at their optimum sharpness' (For the 18-55, its F/8 ) and see what you think of the difference. It should be noticable.

Some excellent shots there - that lens really performs well as you said, with buildings.

I too will be going out to liverpool for some photos after my exams, to snap away at those cranes, i counted over 40 from one place last year Plus, I only live a 20minute train journey away - the new buildings are a really good subject for photos.

I think joining this forum has helped me alot
I used to do alot of graphics work and stuff
So im heavily used to using photoshop
Which means i used to rely on it alot.
Now, I dont as much, and i'm concentrating more on the actual photos I take.
Plus, the critique from real photographers points of view really helps.

The difference between me and most of the people on this forum, i started with a digital camera, and photoshop is my "developing" if you like. I want to go back and get a film camera, and develop some pictures of my own really.


Anyway hi, I kinda went off on one there!

Hah, I simply don't back up.
Actually, thats a lie.
I copy my music and photos to dvds every once in a while.
My CDs would take too much time to copy again, and obviously photos are lost if the HD fails.
Everything else, I don't care about.
