Actually, I've just re-read the thred, and it seems the disagreement was about camera-shake and subject movement.

How About the Kirk Enterprises Flash X-Tender available from Warehouse Express or the Lepp Project-A-Flash available from Speedgraphic

Hi Ryan, Great pictures! Thanks for including the technical details and the description. It all helps me learn! Thank you, if you want to know anything more, just ask. I'm willing to reveal all of my techniques. More of my work can be seen here: www.ryanbater.co.uk , Thanks :)

I use a Nikon SB800 with my D70 and it is good for shooting outdoor pictures against the light as long as you use it's capabilities to balance with the ambient light. I usually set minus 0.5 to 1 stop.

Paul, A UK outlet that sells them is SPEED GRAPHIC for 29.95. Justin

Thanks for the advice again, both of you. despite not answering the sky question happyosterich, i still appreciate it! I dont think i can afford a flash like that, and id have to do it when i get a better lense for wildlife. its a great shot the one you linked though - great colours and clarity. exactly what id want. cheers again

Ooppss i meant Bryan Peterson ... Thanks

Strawmans posting is a really good explanation - one further thing to consider is that as the flash duration is typically 1/1000s or faster, and the synch speed usually 1/250s or slower, then adjusting the shutter speed will have no effect on the amount of flash the camera sees - only the ambient light.

Fill in for macro? maybe a reflector might do? thats what i intend to try tonight on some new flowers......

Sam - If you feel that it helped your photos, fair enough. I can't and won't argue with that :) But my opinion stands. The physical size of the lightsource relative to subject remains the same. A piece of tupperware will make no difference to that. When a given amount of light disperses in all (omni) directions in an uncontrolled manner, it is basically wansting all the juice, and the amou...

Im not a wildlife photographer at all but i Have used an OLD canon 300mm f/2.8L lens (manual focus). For this it was important to use a tripod. The results were nice and sharp, even wide open! I would recommend a tripod, or at the very least a monopod. Perhaps this will help as it will restrict you less? You don't say if you are shooting RAW or JPEGS? Obviously RAW will give you a better ...

I quite late? I think u should to ambiance light and set your white balance auto or set the color's temperature and edit your photo on photoshop. PS. u must set file RAW too.

LOL I hope not cos I want one as cheap as possible :-)
