Hi, Can the slave be repaired/replaced on a SB-26? costs? My problem is sometimes it works, like when its at home and I test it. And sometimes it don't, like when I am shooting with it. Well 30% of the time. It works. I guess I could get a plugin slave, but I would like it to work again. It sometimes works again if I put it on the camera hotshoe test fire it then it works as a...

hello folks. I have been lurking here for a few months and I have learned tons from you guys, this is the first strobist shot I feel confident submitting to the group. I would be interested to hear your thoughts or criticisms.

Here is most of the popular types of flash triggers for Strobist types of situations. I hope this helps the new folks. Plus I threw in my opinions ;-) ================ Radio Frequency ======================= Mfg; PocketWizard Name; PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver AKA; PocketWizard Type; Radio Frequency (around corners) Link; www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/441353-REG/...

Hi guys, If like me your based in the UK and have had a right nightmare sourcing all of your strobist kit then help is at hand. I've taken the liberty of writing a brief guide, detailing all the kit that you need to get started and good places to buy it from. Admitedly the guide is aimed at UK residents, so aside from a few links to our good friends at Mid West Photo ...

I'm photography student, looking for some pigment based fine art papers, for black and white prints using a Epson R2400. These prints will be for my final portfolio and I want them to look the best they can be. Every one else will probably be using Illford pearl, so I want mine to look unique compared. Besides the image it comes down to the paper and matting for the presentation. Being ...

I know... this may be redundant with you guys but i am new here. I am shooting a Canon 40D and have three 580EXIIs. Budget is not really a problem. Reliability/Portability/Consistency is more important. I am of course considering PWs but what is the real deal with radio poppers? Anything else i should be considering? I am more interested in radio since line-of-sight will be an ...

I'm shooting an event soon where I want to use a HD TV to show the images as I shoot and be able to review using just the D3 camera's HMDI connection. I have used this several times with a 18" (.5m) cable to preview, but now know that I will want to be upwards of 20' (6m) away. DH mentioned using this setup for his seminars in a post about video projectors and got great response (so I...

I'd like to get your thought about 1)whether the mist is distracting and if you prefer without 2) does the backlight/rimlight make the petals look too thin along the periphery large - farm4.static.flickr.com/3034/2937156703_8316a0b5d3 _b.jpg vs farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2937150035_26af1b3112 _b.jpg Camera: Nikon D80 Exposure: 0....

I really cannot understand why canon 5d can't shoot higher speed than the 1/200th sec. pictures with radio triggers and flashes, because if i use the 550ex as master for and other speedlite it works great up to the 1/8000th sec. Then why can't I use the radio triggers to do the same thing? I know this question has been up here alot but haven't been able to find an answer for this ...

Can anyone recommend a decent flash bracket to connect to cam body for run and gun shoots of kids. I've been looking at these, but think they are a bit short. www.tripodhead.com/products/flash-bracket-macro-br ackets.cfm Any sample shots of end results would be appreciated. Thanks Dave

I just went through the most recent 6,000 photos that had been added to the group, and I see the exacerbation of a worrisome trend: Lots of people adding photos that do not adhere to the rules of the group. Specifically talking about: 1. Photos that do not have anything to do with off-camera flash or O-C lighting of any kind. 2. Photos that do not have lighting info in ...

I've read a lot of crazy posts in the past few days and though I believe in the open exchange of information I'm starting to think that the level of intelligent discourse in this forum is dropping fast. Don't get me wrong - questions from new people are great, even if the questions tend to seem repetitive the answers often are not. The "OT" posts have never seemed stupid ...

Given some recent feelings on discussing lighting in this forum, I figured I'd do what Ogalthorpe did 4 months ago and post a thread on lighting . (feel free to resurrect that thread, or start a new one). So, I picked some examples of mine where the effect done in them was all lighting. Anyone want to play reverse engineering? Two of these actually use what the Blog referenced...

This is a quiz. Please define (to the best of your understanding) what does light depth of field mean?

And told that your photography isn't art ? lol Well as way of getting more people to see my photography I had meetings with a few Star Bucks mangers around where i live and they all really loved my photography and felt that it reflected the neighborhood. but said they need to get approval from the district manger about any art that comes into their coffee shops, after about a ...

What do yall think?

As I write this I am about 34,000 feet over Colorado heading to Atlanta to teach a seminar. I have a question that keeps popping to the fore in my thoughts. Is photography easy? Should it be? We seem to expect it to be. I see the ads about how easy
