Has anyone sucessfully triggered a Nissin Di622 (nikon mount) optically with a Canon 430exII mounted on a Canon camera?

QUOTE(DecaPix @ Jul 13 2010, 03:59 PM) it should trigger ma Thanks DecaPix. It works now.unless the 430 EX is in manual mode la IE not in E-TTL mode  But why can't the 430exII trigger it in manual mode? Added on July 13, 2010, 5:20 pm QUOTE(DJFoo000 @ Jul 13 2010, 04:37 PM) Hrmm... This thread doesn't cater to the dissemination of information regarding built-in flash? I think the built-in unit should be fully utilised before moving on to the external unit. (Sry for the tone, juz finished with my scientific blog post :-P) Looks like a snoot with silver linings on the inside to me.  This post has been edited by mH3nG: Jul 13 2010, 05:21 PM |

Does anyone have any experience in working with these flash triggers: iShoot Wireless Flash Trigger PT-04 CN
They seem to be like a PT-04 stuffed in a different mould. Plus they're a damnside cheaper than the phottix tetra PT-04. |

QUOTE(DJFoo000 @ Aug 18 2010, 06:08 PM) since we're at it, if you guys have to recommend sticking with one light modifier, which one would it be? The softbox? Or a shoot-thru umbrella? Or a 5-in-1 reflector and use the translucent panel as a softbox/shoot-thru material? I'm still looking for a Rosco Swatchbook in Malaysia. Also, is there any place that gives out free gel samplers? Its prohibitively expensive to send one here even though the sample itself is pretty cheap.  |

Using those plastics may cause the picture to have a colour cast though.

Any battery will be drained quickly if you fire 30 shots at full power.  i'm using alkaline battery now and it drain very fast. just around 30 shots and the recycle rate become unusually slow. may i know what's the price of the phottix?? no money to buy 580EX II la   iShoot flash triggers. Only USD25.99 including shipping.  |

QUOTE(magiclover0716 @ Sep 21 2010, 06:27 AM) thx No. goldfries is right. and you want to tell me it has nothing to do with recycle rate? i shoot with e-ttl mode. impossible every shot is full power la The capacity does not directly affect the recycle rate. Read this if you're still not convinced. Could be the batteries then.  QUOTE(ahpingko @ Sep 21 2010, 03:23 PM) wow..flash thread!...sony user with F42am reporting in!.. Welcome!  bought for 1 month+ already still dono how to fully utilize it... You will get the hang of it if you use it constantly. |

Followed my cousins to the pool last weekend and managed to get a few shots.
I could barely keep up with them. Half of the energy was spent keeping the camera dry. Some of the more successful cross lighted pics. All pics were lit with one ungelled strobe.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

Anyone interested in getting the Rosco Strobist Collection?
I'm planning to get one from a seller in Singapore but unfortunately he doesn't accept Paypal as according to him, it has too many fees. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 22 2010, 06:18 PM) @pengster/frutie the gels are usd9.75 on b&h, but the shipping, wtf ... usd49.43 ... unless we buy together and kongsi shipping otherwise feels like just burning money ... Get them from ebay. Its cheaper than getting it directly from B&H.I bought them last week. Waiting for it to arrive soon. |

The strobist collection is good but some gels are missing such as 1/8 CTO or 1/2 plusgreen. I wanted to get the Rosco Swatchbook but the only place that sells them and ships internationally is Adorama or B&H. Anyone willing to organise a bulk to get it?

QUOTE(cohabitation @ Jan 4 2011, 12:09 PM) Did you get the 55 pieces one? Thanks, but I already bought it. I'm looking for the swatchbook now. I can organize a bulk for that, but it'll cost RM120 per box (each box 55 pieces) for personal shipping from US. That's the best deal I can find currently. http://www.rosco.com/us/video/strobist.cfm <- this is the one QUOTE(hung6022 @ Jan 6 2011, 12:20 PM) here's my latest project XD Nice light but was she wearing red contacts?» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(onijoseph @ Jan 8 2011, 12:25 AM) do we really need all the colour gels? You mean the strobist kit?if i got 55 pieces of them, and i have to think which one is suitable for every occasion, i think i will go mad. Actually its not 55 different gels. It just that there are several copies of those that are commonly used. Comes in handy if you have several strobes. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It comes with practice. Just like how you determine your ISO/shutter/aperture. Besides, I bet you haven't seen the Roscolux Swatchbook yet... QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 8 2011, 12:27 AM) what for you need 55 pieces? Nah. Different lighting calls for different gels.just 1 piece orange translucent piece you can adjust for so many different orange intensity already. in fact that's the one you'll use the most for indoor. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 9 2011, 01:39 AM) yes but i'm saying la, generally when you shoot indoors with ambient light, a single piece of CTO can do a lot already. True but you can't just buy a single CTO or at least not from my experience and those gels are pretty difficult to get hold of. Added on January 9, 2011, 1:43 amand yes, like what you mentioned, some are because of multiple copies. i think the 55 colors are useful for achieving various effect, like say you want key or highlights in a different color. and sorry, earlier i was talking in context of say shooting a wedding or function in a typical warmly lit setting. |
