I#ve also looked at the YN 560 and these look very good too.

Thanks all for the advice.
David it sounds like youre pretty much into this, I might give you a shout.
So, would these flash units be OK?

I have also seen this one which is not listed as fitting any brand of camera and is more expensive. Is there something different or better about this unit? Or is it the same?

I am very interested in getting into strobist photography and have a couple of questions if anyone has experience of this.
The flash of choice seems to be Vivitar-285HV, would I need to buy ones specifically made for Pentax or is there a generic one?
Would the K10D be able to triger a set of flash guns OK?
Thanks

I should be OK for this too.

If set up and exposed correctly you can expect top notch quality with a very nice shallow DOF.
There have been lots of threads on here about how to do this.
The main thing to do is to enable the aperture ring in the menu.
Then put the camera in manual mode. Set the aperture manually then I think it is the ael button to get the correct shutter speed.
I have a K100d and it does have this function in the custom settings.

I see what you mean, not very inspiring is it?
The rust building is next on my list I think.
I cycled it into Leeds today with camera in a rucksack. Really good way to get round the city, but as I live out near Otley it ended up being a 26 mile job.

Cheers. It's not HDR but it almost has that look about it.
