I did 1000 before, or almost. Was shooting event LOL... but it was set as a fill flash.. very minimal flash used only.

Like that when you shoot Kyra each pic need to PP

im still thinking either to get lowepro slingshot 302aw oe lowepro slingshot 350aw. Is the 302aw a replacement for 300aw? Thanks

if u wanna do close ups, dont read into the min focus distance, but into the maximum reproduction spec.
cos u can zoom into 105mm at 0.45m and get slightly larger image than at 70mm 0.38m.
the specs confirms that as 18-105 has 1/5 reproduction while 18-70 is 1/6.2.

what do u want to put in it?
350 obviously can fit laptop, but if ur gonna pack either up with heavy lenses...i can guarantee u ur shoulder will die after 30mins at the earliest.

Is there any battery meter on the SB-900? I don't know what's the battery level now but I shot over 700+ photos set it as fill flash, still can go on.

Anyway, I reached the "Thermal Cut-out" indicator like 5~6 times today . Really panicked as the flash is not able to fire and the first time it happen when the bridegroom reached the moment to open the bride's room door

I pushed my ISO to 3200 but yet to get "acceptable" frame. Later on the flash regained and just in time to capture the moment he open the door~ phews! Thanks again for not happening during family shot and kissing moment.

How you guys managed to control the heat of the flashgun? Just turn off the "Thermal Cut-out" and shot only?

Anyway, it was a very good experience today. The situation changed where I become the OP because my friend is busy and the other photographer (friend too) absent. It's kind of important to lead them indirectly where then you'll be able to capture some good frames. Indeed flashgun bring photography to another level. I compared between my shots and my friend using the same body and same lens, that's whole lot more different! Thanks to everyone that helped me out for it with advise and sharing experience

yea im planning to put in the 70-200mm. So u suggest me to get like a back pack? Like flipside 400aw? The reason i wanna get slingshot is that it could provide me easier access to all my lenses that i want to use.

i just try not to spam with the flash..like 10sec 1 shot could easily get the thermal cut..
as for the battery indicator, there is none..i just prepared another set of fully charge battery and put in in case no more battery..

shit have to fork out some funds to get some gears this coming june

a tripod, bag, uwa lens and a gnd filter

=(

slingshot does not provide easy access unless u got very very very extremely short arms.
u have to try it then u will know.

yea, backpack.
flipside 300 is enough already, i find 400 too wide.
or get like think tank retrospective series.

for my taste , yes

or i put filter in PS... make it anime-ish.

Easy access? Flipside offers easy access too. I'm using a Flipside 400AW.

Hi thanks for the info! May i know how can u access your dslr from the bag? because when i check the specification, they is only a zip at the back padding.

obviously for easy access u need a sling bag / waist pack.

flipside has a waist belt, then u can remove the shoulder straps and swing it around to ur front, and open the zip at the back.

like what he said ^
I've never tried a sling bag so don't know whether it's much easier if compared to flipside. Perhaps the flipside is 1 shoulder-strap-step extra?
I find the bag convenient because I can retrieve my camera with relative ease as I don't need to remove the whole bag. And when changing lens it's convenient too because the bag lies in front of me. Unless somehow the waist strap breaks la.
I only use this bag for hiking as it's quite bulky so you may not want to bring it out for casual outings..

Ah in serious dilemma, the reason im deciding to take up slingshot 302aw is that "maybe" it is easier for me to access my lens and probably look less bulky compare with flipside 400aw. But i think 2 straps is better than one because the weight will be distribute proportionally. The downside for flipside will probably be bulky and less easy access compare with the slingshot series. Besides lowepro, is there any other brand or model that suits my need?

I need something that is looks fashionable, able to store up to 3-4 lenses including a 70-200mm lens attached and a tripod holder.

Hope i could find a bag that suits me well. Thanks!

About retrospective, i just check their website, the inner padding doesnt seems enough but it is a good bag for disguise.

i got retro 20 and flipside 300.
there is no 1 bag that can do everything.
sometimes u may want a small bag for normal walking around.
sometimes u need a more comfortable bag to go holiday etc.

WTA, does any1 use D7000? need feed back on this model, n i did alot reading over d net vs EOS 60D, seems D7000 is better choice.

Opinion plz Tq

Cant get a best of both world

Hey about the flipside 300 can it fits a 70-200 attached with body?

yup.
retro 20 also can, main reason why i have those bags.

check this site if u want user reviews and pics of how stuff fits.
