sorry to resurrect this thread, but did you find out if ETTL works on the TTL specified lead?

@ Doog, not so harsh, just sharing your opinion which is greatly appreciated. I actually raised this with Tom on the shoot, I told him he looked 'wooden' but it was his natural stance. @Steven, I was shooting with a speedlite into an umbrella diagonally to the right/left of the subject. It...

Thank you. :)

Following my on going project, I conducted a shoot with a solo musician called Thomas Ward. He is on the verge of releasing an EP entitled 'Liberté' We ventured out of Birmingham to a small village called Earlswood. 1. Tom Ward - Singer/Songwriter by Daniel Hodson, on Flickr 2. Tom Ward -...

Again guys, thank you so much for the positive comments. I will take all of this on board and express to her how we can make the images better, she loves the contre jour lighting style and this is what we planned to do prior to shooting, she showed me a few examples which I feel we emulated with...

She hasn't done many shoots no, but she admitted she didn't like her 'smile.' She kept on mentioning how she was enjoying herself so I don't think it was a case of her feeling uncomfortable as the conversation flowed extremely naturally. I will bring the points mentioned to her attention and...

I appreciate the feedback folks, as I mentioned it was a test shoot and the 'official' shoot is yet to be scheduled. We have however arranged a 'show and tell' session so I can report back any thing that needs to considered on the final shoot. Can anyone think of a way to work on her facial...

I'm currently working towards finishing my degree and for my final project I am looking towards band/solo musician promotion. I've been building a network of people in a hope to build a diverse and interesting portfolio at the end of it. Yesterday I met up with a young singer/songwriter called...

cheers boss, I've realised that the a program I use on my mac called 'flux' was enabled which changed my colour profile on my monitor. I'll always remember to re evaluate the clipping when I've finished post processing.

It was because I ran an action on it post process wise, hopefully its address now:

I see what you're saying about the top, don't see where on the hair, it looks pretty detailed to me, there is slight clipping on the hair, but not enough to be a problem? Heres the image showing clipping.

I found a wiki article on the subject, confusing stuff. I've never been great with maths formulae. :gag:

I used it as a reflective on these images, but will bare in mind shooting through. I had trialled shoot through in the day, but noticed little different, but as a main light source I see where it could make a difference. I'm in quite a confined space in the location I shot the images, rather...

Having recently upgraded to the Canon 7D and gaining remote firing of my 430 EXII I decided to get myself a speedlite umbrella so I could make better use of my flash. I finally got around to trialling my umbrella with Danielle (my fiancée). I feel I need to get to grips with my upgrade before I...
