What bracket have you got Ads? Also how do you get the correct exposure in such a dark place, as in M mode when using a flash it doesnt consider the flash so will say it will be underexposed but when you set it so that its correctly exposed according to the flash it will turn out overexposed how do you get it right?

Its called Harpers, previous known as 'The Drink' where Cheryl Tweedy beat the shit out of a toilet attendant. Actually most of the lasses are munters.

I just meter for the ambient and then let the flash sort out out light. sometimes I freestyle and shoot manual on the flash as well just purely to boost my own ego.

and that's it really.

Cheapo Flash bracket from ebay. I only use it on the 10D with the 550EX... it's cheap for a reason (it flexes a lot!) if the bracket breaks you'll know about it because you'll be greeted by thousands of electronic bits that previously belonged to your camera on the floor around you. hurray for backup bodies. I can see the merits of going for a bracket so I will invest in a good one at a later date lot £££'s but for now whilst I'm practicing the ninjibong bracket will do nicely.

How do you meter for the ambient light. I have done much research on metering.

then you'll know that you'll look through the viewfinder and see a level at the bottom going from -2 to +2

that's your ambient light metering level dude.

I actually meant to say i havent done much research lol but yer i know about the exposure level in the viewfinder. How do you meter the background and the not the foreground though?

Barry123 · 12th June 2008, 12:00

you can't meter the background man*... you meter everything but because doesn't fire until you actually shoot you don't have to worry about the metering of the foreground

* unless you select Point metering move the camera to meter over somewhere in the background then move back to focus on the subject. but I don't do that.

mattchewone · 12th June 2008, 12:03

I see that know lol hehe silly me! Wouldnt you then have to have a farely low shutter speed and then when the flash shoots wouldnt it be too bright or am i just being thick!

Want to get a couple of relativly cheap flashes so i can get one of the light boxes!

how quick is a flash burst????

danzman1991 · 12th June 2008, 22:45

Might seem like a strange question, but do you put the borders and watermark on yourself in Photoshop or something, or does it does it do it automatically?

same way as most of us, you carry it attatached to your wrist/neck. If anyone tried to touch my camera id have door staff over in a jiffy and id have a lovely pic of their face bouncing off of a wall/speaker
