Hi there I think you will be ok taking photos around places like trafalgar square, doclands, london Bridge ( some parts you would need to ask am not sure if how things have changed these days never use to be a problem.) But I certainly won't be attempting any in the tubes or near Buckingham palace without permission. There are lots of places to see depending on what exactly you are after.

hope this helps.

Thanks alot, also if I want to use the onboard flash to trigger both strobes would both have to be on S or one on M and S I on the flashgun?. As mentioned before I have used both strobes on few occassions but not really impressed with the results. End up with shadows from the the flash with no brolly which I expected from directly flash.

thank for the tips

Thanks alot i will try those settings today. I tried sometime thought the wireless on manual mode but the flasgun did not fire might have done somthing wrong. The flash should still be on S not M or C I guess in this case!

thanks again

Sorry I should have mentioned, the setup will be at the reception in a separate hall, and yes lighting and the setup is allowed.

Hi Chaps,
Am doing and event photo shooting at friend’s baby christening tomorrow. Am intending to setup strobes using 2 AF360FGZ and k10d (on wireless) as I always do. I have 3 umbrellas; shoot through, Silver and gold. I have only one stand for the brolly but have a second tripod and hotshoe for the other flashgun. My question is how high should the brolly be from my subject (or groups) and how do I use the second flashgun as a fill? I normally use it but sometimes not happy with the results as I use the onboard flash with the two, or is it better using a reflector instead. What setting would be best for the flashgun? and what mode would be best to have the k10d on at an event? especially when am intending to print there will be not much time for editing. Am not planning on taking any in RAW as it will take a while to process before printing.
Am also thinking which background to use( option of using the brick walls in the hall or setting up my muslin interfit white which would be too much to iron and very big. Please any advice on what you normally do will help. I have read a few topics here already sorry to take you chaps back a bit.

Thanks

Hi guys
Anyone knows how to clean a k10d matte focusing screen LF 80? Had bits of hair like dirt and some black spot, I took it out and accidentally dropped it (on our dining table). I have noticed a black dirt not sure if it’s a scratch but very distracting on the left corner and still have the hair. It still works fine; I have ordered one from SRS due for delivery today or tomorrow. The dirty does not show in the photo unless sometimes when clear sky photos are taken. How often does this need changing and what the effects are in not change them for a while. I want to clean to old one and keep as a spare if I can. Any advice or just dispose of it.
Thanks

Spacus
