BikerX: I think I posted the digital version of that shot before. That was taken with my Leica. I may be wrong though.

niforpix: Yes it is!

View of downtown from my place.



Moon was pretty big last night too (although it doesn't look so big in this shot)

^^ is it infrared? Which ones do you have? I just have the Canon transmitter that attaches to my camera, and 580ex flash, but I haven't really got a chance to use it other than few test shots at home. But I think the flash always has to be in the line of sight, no?

Yes, with infrared, you need line of sight. If you find line of sight a problem for you, check out radio poppers.

I'm actually using Vivitar 285hv flashes with the ebay triggers

I think I'm finally starting to understand how to shoot macro (properly) after screwing around with my camera on my day off. Haven't done macro in months... Unfortunately I didn't have my 580ex on me, and I still don't have a softbox to make the lighting not as harsh.

For macro, you need a ring flash, not a soft box.

Not necessarily. I've been chatting with this guy on www.thephotoforum.com who uses a 580ex flash and a Lumiquest Softbox for a diffuser. His photos are amazing. Check out his website:

http://www.tcproimages.com/Macro

He doesn't use a ring flash at all and 98% of his shots are handheld.

Is he using the little ones that fit on the flash? I guess that would work, but you wouldn't get the softer, even lighting a ringflash would provide. See how hard the lighting is on his photos? His light source is too far from the subject. I'd guess he's suppressed the specular highlights somewhat in PS.

Yeah I see what you mean. I guess it's somewhat an alternative to spending $500 on a ring flash.
