Bruce, you have some fabulous images in there. Why not upload one each day to the gallery and give an extended guide to how it was taken? Then link to it from this thread? Question from me - what ring flash do you use?

That is a great article and I have to agree with him. In 1992 Plume Wafer gave me every model of there softboxes to try out and use. A week later I showed them images I shot with their softboxes and images shot with nylon panels. They loved the nylon panel images and said..."its obvious that these are the Plumes". After an uneasy silence, I said, no, you chose the nylon panel images. The ...

Thanks, thats very useful. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Not surprised I have always found Danny to be straight-forward and genuine in these forums.

Alot of my studio fashion shots these days are done with just one flash with a beauty dish or an octabox A 500 w tungstan light and beauty dish can give fantastic results, dig mine out from time to time.

Thanks a lot again Ben. Very helpful. Geraint

That is exactly it, Paul. They want to know your concepts - how are you different, what is fresh about you. Have a look at Gry Garness.

Just a thought, and I might be wrong, but if you assign Flash Lock to your AEL/AFL button, can you not then press the AEL/AFL button to trigger the pre-flash and, in which case, it will no longer fire any more pre-flashes while your camera remains switched on? ~ squodge ~
