Not HDR, just one shot.

For Dave Hill kinda effect, that only can be done through PP. I think I've bumped into some presets on deviantart before, you might wanna have a look there. I found this quite informative:

Haha! Not that many la, all cheap stuff only. Compared to you guys who have all the expensive lenses and cameras. You got D800 right?

Just don't have the time yet to shoot fast fast cars . Shot this at home to kill the time:

Those who want to venture into sports photography, think twice. The world has been nominated by robots :

And look at those 1dx.....

Guys,

Need some guidance. Is it possible to trigger older flash units with the newer one using CLS?

I've just bought an SB-26 last nite, which is intended to be used together with an SB-900. I'm using D7000 BTW. How should I set them up? Or should I invest in wireless triggers perhaps? Thanks.

I haven't got the time to test them yet. So all these are some presumptions that I should expect before testing out. From what I read, SB26 is not CLS compatible. However, since it comes with a built-in optical slave, I'm sure I'll be able to trigger it using pop-up flash of my D7000 in commander mode. It has TTL feature but not i-TTL like SB900, so still need to adjust the the flash settings manually which I'm totally fine with it. I've been using manual mode on SB900, and SB26 will be my kicker/fill/rim light.

One thing I notice, I can limit the flash unit usage only to myself by setting the CLS group and channel on SB900 but not SB26. Means on CLS, SB26 can triggered by other peeps' flashes too. Is that the case?

I'll disable pre-flashes and try the SU-4 mode then. Will report back how the test goes. Thanks sifu!

White balance is off, and the subjects are very soft ie not sharp. I'd turn this into a monochrome. Good catch anyway!

Definitely not on this one. There are not so many colours in that photo. The subjects mostly wore B&W, and so with the background (just a lil' bit tint of brown). The worn, rustic textures look best in mono. Actually there's no reason why this photo should be published in colour for the lack of colours. IMHO YMMV
