QUOTE(lwliam @ Mar 7 2011, 08:25 PM) ahpingko, u coming on sat/sun TT? Show u that time.. i am not coming...got things to do...lol..QUOTE(ieR @ Mar 7 2011, 08:29 PM) sorry ah, i lack of sleep, so i read thing is blurry, so i try answer with proper writing also. i see..u always have the right ans for me.. to gain BG light, boost iso is the best way. but if its still dark at iso1600, then ur background is really DARK even for 3200, all u end up seeing is noise. sometime by adjusting the right angle of the bounce can help brighten up properly the whole pic  the gel is cheap only. but i lately busy not time make extra cards, once i free i make some bring KL sell, 1pcs  (need break even my flight expenses )when u have a FLASH running, the AWB will turn to FlashWB, which is at 5500k, so u have to go inside and change it to custom WB and set to the proper (to your liking) temperature. u might like it to have more ambient feel then pure white. ...i will try it out...QUOTE(lwliam @ Mar 7 2011, 08:45 PM) i can make also, charge RM1.80 can? QUOTE(ieR @ Mar 7 2011, 08:49 PM) william: need u to makeee, i just found out i gave out all my gels and i dont have anymore film to make more >.< so easy make meh?... anyone drop by digicolor? can help me get more tungsten gel film?

QUOTE(kysham @ Mar 7 2011, 05:20 PM) on the issue regarding the cap on diffusers. i had used them before. they are not the best solution for softening out shadows but they do improve the shadows a bit. however, like shootkk & lwliam had mentioned, this thing do eat up a substantial amount of power. but i don't think the issue is 100% due to your F42 not having enough power. i believe it is also a matter of your camera's TTL system not knowing that the cap is there in the first place. what you need to do is: Woohkay! Thanks bro! Will search for a new diffuser. Buang the old one. 1) shoot at a higher ISO. if you were shooting normally at ISO200, try ISO400 or ISO640 instead. This will compensate for the loss of power due to the cap. Also, it helps to lengthen the life of your flash's battery (higher ISO, lower flash output required, hence less battery power consumed per flash fired). 2) dial in a +ve flash compensation. this is a bit of a hit and miss, depending a lot on your cap, but try +1.0ev flash compensation to begin with and continue to adjust from there. Hope this help you to take better photos with your existing gear, before you go out and search for a better bounce / diffusing accessory.   QUOTE(ieR @ Mar 7 2011, 05:47 PM) my opinion, demb diffuser, same like other stofen (cap) or garyfong toilet bowl, all is just marketing gimmick and waste of time(ur real flash learning become off track) and money. i only find them useful when i do not have a ceiling to bounce. F42 can bounce even a 3 story ceiling (grand church), and shoot as far as 10 meter away. but with all those ojibala modifier on ur flash, ur effective distance become less then 8 meter at fullpower. useless. QUOTE(zstan @ Mar 7 2011, 04:46 PM) throw the diffuser away la..i find it so useless & inconvenient now...if it was useful it would come with the flash anyway.. my noob 2 cents... the two guys in the background is distracting QUOTE(shootkk @ Mar 7 2011, 04:33 PM) Newbieeeee : What diffuser you using? The white ones that cap onto the flash head? Should really throw it away lar... It makes your shots look like direct flash shots!! Better to leave the flash as it is and strap a small namecard sized white card to it to throw light in front. Stupid diffuser eats up your flash power and don't work correctly. QUOTE(lwliam @ Mar 7 2011, 04:38 PM) totally agree.. Wow. Everyone says the same thing. Damm how come I dont know one ahh furthermore, when i was using my f42 last time, its more than enough power most of the time.. indoors have no issue.. only problem is when subject is far, ie. stage/catwalks (which rarely uses flash anyway) its a matter of where you direct the flash head and how u use a bounce card. those white plastic caps diffuser really eats up a LOT of power, i dont use it unless im in a tight room, where light from the 'back' side of the diffuser have place to bounce back to the front.. All the while using this stupid diffuser. ARGHHHH!!!  This post has been edited by Newbieeeeee: Mar 7 2011, 10:51 PM |
