for me, the color need to tune up, flower must be vibrant, the green bokeh at the background seems dull..

ooohhh.... now i know la... a snoot....
very easy to DIY...

The flowers look too isolated in the centre. Try a tighter crop.

jonjwlee: Yes, flipping the mirror down and closing the shutter to use phase-detect AF in Live View (on other cameras besides Alpha) does wear out your shutter.

Braynumb: You need to use a Canon ST-E4, 580EX or 580EXII on camera, to trigger an off-camera 430EX. The pop-up flash cannot - none of the Canons can do this.

melv: It is likely that they are a Sony Center. The Sony Style outlets can only sell at retail price. Sony Center outlets are owned by another company and you can read who owns the shop, on their signboard.

marauderz: The manual does not say it's water resistant but we'll see. I doubt it is especially since I fold it leaving the neck strap out as a vulnerable entry point.

Kul | Mo0: Do you mean a tiny concentrated spot of light, or an eclipse?

If you're going for the eclipse look, aim the flashes slightly behind the subject. Like what I did with your camera at Rasta, just without the front flash coming in the picture (using HSS).

You should set the modelling mode to TESTM (Test button triggers multiple flashes for 4 seconds) and move the flash around the subject to see how the light is shaped.

C&C welcome



EXIF:

Albnok : Yea I know that effect but what I wanted was er... Yea the snoot effect la. Half way completing dy. (:

Oooo... SB-600 interests me... never knew that Nokin flashes hav the sensors on the side instead of the front... hehehe... didn't get to try it though...

your picture title is cun... but the picture really is kinda awkward... hehehe...

No wonder the 350D also couldn't trigger it off camera... haiyer... maybe the guy in the other forum meant the 430EX II??

ouch my eyes!! never open your eyes when u want to test full power

Braynumb, even if you had a 350D and 430EX II, you would not be able to trigger it wirelessly unless you have the ST-E4, 580EX or 580EX II on the 350D.

albnok: ok... so, meaning is, if I were to trigger a 430EX with my sony, I'd at least need a F42AM on my camera?

Quote of the day:

nak kawin dah pun

though i knew you would be like after the flash flashes - like what shootkk have mentioned, i like to play 1/1 with my friends (well sometimes my wife)..

me: "ok, close your eyes"

them: slowly close their eyes "why?"

me: press the test button

them: "ouch! panas muka!"

me: "hahahaha"

not only bright light (at least they closed their eyes) but can also feel the heat

Aaaa.. yang tu saya dah tau... hehehe...

Braynumb: No, the 430EX does not have an optical slave mode built in. So you cannot trigger it with anything other than the ST-E4, 580EX or 580EX II (in TTL modes.)

You can buy a cheap optical slave trigger that mounts on the 430EX foot. However, the 430EX will have to be in manual power and so will the F42.

Happy Birthday dingenius3!

can borrow your 50mm or not?

Happy bday din.. a year older a year wiser~

Happy Birthday to dingenius3
