Bear with me - I have a few ...

I had an awful lot of fun taking this photo and many more of my daughter's cat. This was in broad daylight with my aperture stopped right down, shutter at highest possible sync speed and iso 100 to black out the ambient light as much as possible. I then used an off camera flash on full power...

Hey Charlie ( @RocketCowboy ) - awesome that you are going to that. Be sure to report back. :)

A couple of months ago I started working in a brick and mortar camera shop. I am really enjoying being around cameras and talking to people about them all day but I have to be very careful about what I say. We don't stock Yongnuo gear and I really rate their speedlights. I find it very hard to...

I'm in the market for one of these (or happy to listen to alternative suggestions) for use with my Tamron 90mm macro. Two questions: 1. Do I need to buy a specific size or does the "one-size-fits-all" rule apply? 2. Anyone in New Zealand know where I can source one locally? Thanks in advance.

A spider's universe

I've seen a few requests regarding Yongnuo gear and complaints about the user manuals. Here is a page where you can download User Manuals for Various Models. Hope it helps someone.

Here is the Afghan lady herself

Continuing with the Off Camera Flash practice Sandi agreed to sit for me again and we had a lot of fun. This one of her getting set I particularly like. We were trying to replicate the famous Afghan woman shot and this was as she was preparing her scarf.

I've been awfully quiet on this forum this year as I have been busy with other things of less importance. Today I had the opportunity to try some off camera flash as my flat mate agreed to sit for me and wants to sit again tomorrow. Not everything went according to plan but I did learn quite a...

A bat leaf at full alert and ready to take on any bad guys.
