TTL = through the lens. Its like an auto mode to fire the flash power.
Manual = you gotta adjust yourself.

What about the hot shoe? pana one can use on canon meh?

Hmmmm...i will go try at the shop

Ask Uncle ianho http://ianho.blogspot.com/2009/10/canon-sp...-on-lx3dl4.html

LX3 can trigger the flash. however no flash power control
you have to manually control the power.
ask nightstalker. he tried it before during TT session

hahaha... farzeera & michelle...

niceeee simply like it

Since this is a flash thread, anyone here uses a light stand + umbrella setup?

Care to show some pics and also the price? Planning to get one for wireless triggering.

anyone know where to get a flash stand like those they give in nissin di622? my nissin di466 doesn't have 1 and my sb-600 also is missing a flash stand. would wanna get 2 so that i can put it upright.

guys...i'm super blur right now. i have a nissin di866 with my canon 40d. n i wanna use the flash off camera. i read that the 40d cant trigger the di866 using the in-built flash. is there any other way to use off camera flash??

You can buy some wireless triggers. Phottix/Cactus if no budget, pocketwizards if got $$$

i use to have same set as yours... i trigger the nissin di866 using yongnuo rf602... beware if your nissin di866 is hook on umbrella or softbox in windy condition... i break my nissin di866 hot shoe once cos it is made of plastic...

Hey, Is it a direct flash from one speedlight wirelessly? I always wonder how did u all get such soft light from the flash? I do the same thing, I tend to get harsh flash light effect esp on ppl. Can this be achieved by attaching a diffuser or lowering the flash compo?

important parts, u must know how to handle the flash power.

lotsa way can do. first, install umbrella, softbox, diffuser or anything.
DIY tunnel light can makes ur light become more narrow.

careful with ur flash distance

and the last time, keep on trying. never give up

one of my favorite photos.

my supper actually but by the time i finish taking it, already somewhat soggy.

Canon EOS 550D | EF 50mm f1.4 | 430EX II (can't remember power) on stand, shoot through umbrella.
