Resurrecting an old thread but found this while searching some related bits, I started out shooting film, then got heavily into digital but found my photos always lacked something. I could never get the images to look how I wanted. Started shooting more and more film, I prefer being able to pick...

I'm glad I spotted this! I was looking to see how far Portra 400 could be pushed but it appears you have done the legwork for me, nice one.

Thanks, I will post up so more when I can!

I went to shoot round 13 of Mosquito bike London x League, it was my first time shooting cross but it went pretty well. Here is a couple that I can show now, let me know what you think.

Thank you, I have been working on lighting and my post processing work flow recently. I feel its come together with this photo.

The chain does look slack but its because of the way I stood the bike up, the pedal is being pushed up making it look slack. This is my third fixed too, my daily. I sold all my other parts as I'm skint at the moment but I'm looking at building one for the track depending on where I end up doing...

My bike is nearing completion and my Sigma 70-200 F2.8 turned up today so I decided to take a decent photo of it rather than a snap with my phone. I could have chosen a better background, I plan on doing some studio shots at some point so I wasn't that fussed.

Good work, these are real nice! I'm shooting a cross event in a couple of weeks, I just wondered what you were using when you shot these? I was planning on having my telephoto on and on camera flash for fill and to try and bring the riders away from the background. Would you be willing to...

Ok I think I was doing it wrong, I checked it with the meter on DCV and it measured no higher than 9. I'm guessing it is safe to use unless I haven't metered it correctly, could someone verify this?

I just let my metz power up and measured the voltage from the PC socket and it was reading 11/12, that was with the meter in the link and the dial set to ACV 500. Is this right, I'm no electrician so I don't know what I should set it too as it doesn't come with a manual? here is the meter I'm...

Cheers, what is a safe voltage. Anything under 24v?

Right so I have searched on here and online but I can't get a clear answer, I need a flash that I can use on camera and I have 2 Metz 45 CL-4's. Now thy have an Auto and TTL mode but I think they are the older versions and I know its all about the voltages, I really cant afford to fry my camera...

For some reason it wont let me post images from flickr, am I missing something or has something changed?

Sorry guys photos didnt work.

I knew there was a little trick to do it! Cheers for that!
