Looking for a good place in st austell or surroundings to take some art nude photos. Anyone know of anything?

Hey to all!! Been a while since I posted. Ill admit not actually been out that much this year with the DSLR, criminal I know! Dam little device called a GoPro has been taking all the attention!! Im have a couple of ideas im trying to do and wondered if there is such an app or site you can go to...

Just jumping on the back of this question, do you think a nifty 50 is a good lens to have in a portrait kit? An would you guys say always go manual? Reason I ask is I'm looking to create a portrait kit too and was thinking tripods, 2-3 flash's, triggers, 50mm f1.8 lens plus ??

I really miss a view finder!!!!! I found the focusing could be slow at times even though the lighting levels were good. Night Sky shots...... It wasn't very good at all as the screen was useless for working out if in focus or not! Don't get me wrong the photos are good quality but compared to...

Hi All Been a while since I have been on this site, I did have a Canon 60D which I really enjoyed using. Change in life situation meant instead of upgrading I had to sell, so good bye to camera, lenses, and flashes :( Just recently had a little bit of spare money so brought a EOS-M...

hahahhahaha very good point! Im gonna happily blame cider this evening! I having one of those days! didn't even notice I was typing horseshoe! Gridlock tried the pressing for a couple of seconds up to 30 seconds, just closes the moment you remove your thumb hahha

Yep you can!! Forgot no ettl was available!! I did read that a few days ago but completely forgot!! did discover whilst in the horseshoe and flash on the other rf-603, if you use the shutter release on the camera the flash fires on first curtain, if you use the release button on the 603...

Well recently purchased a pair of Yongnuo RF-603's. Thought I'd post my experience so far!! Out the box they seem well built for something that cost less than £20! Connected to the camera as a remote trigger using the canon cable on a 60D range was very impressive, around the side of the...

Ended up going with a Yongnuo RF-603, same price as the 602's pretty much but they all use AAA batteries, makes sense as I have loads of them! haha! Once I've recieved and played I'll write a little review!! :D

Have a yongnuo flash so know there equipment aint bad! Plus loving the price of the RF602's!! Notice they even do combo kits for around £60!! Good spot!

Just looking at that remote on amazon and it dawned on me that my shot im doing soon requires the flash on the camera, so need one the horseshoe! so back to that pixel pro I think! Might just have to take a gamble!

Anyone use pixel pro's ? like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-Multi-function-Wireless-Powershot-Flashgun/dp/B0049IZEKA/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325458859&sr=1-8

Thanks for the quick replies as always!! Ill be shooting at the side of the camera about 10 meters away for one shoot I have lined up!

Hi All I was just about to buy a Canon RC6 remote for my 60D and then thought I best ask you guys if the RC6 is worth its money as it can only trigger my camera from the front and its range is poor due to IR! Would you guys recommend any others? Jimbo

Hahhahaa cheers buddy! Think its looking like an hour of playing with settings!!
