Amazingly, cleaning the contacts on the hotshoe seems to have cured the issue. Cleaned them up with a cotton bud and electronic cleaner did the job. Thanks for the suggestion of cleaning. :-)

Hi all, Hoping someone can give me some guidance. My backup body is starting to play funny buggers with firing an external flash. I can't get it to fire a 580ex II or a 430ex. I know the flashes are communicating as they change the zoom distance scale and I can dial in FEC and other changes in...

I went in February and took my big heavy manfrotto. I never ran into trouble using it, even in Times Square at 11pm. I did use it with care though, especially in crowded areas. I'm pretty glad I did take it though. :)

Awesome set of images! I'm particularly drawn to the purple one. Was that a purple LED swung around as you walked down? The group shot is really good too. Lit with torches?

Many thanks for the messages of congrats and image comments. Much appreciated. :) If you want to know any exact locations where they were shot from, just give me a shout and i'll post the info.

Morning all, Here's a few from my trip to NYC in February this year. A trip which was made extra special as I proposed to my girlfriend and thankfully, she said yes!! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Hope you enjoy! Tonnes more photos on my blog. Might be useful for anyone...

Yeah it is a shame it's not touring the rest of the UK. It certainly looks something special when you stand directly under it.

Thanks Rob, number 1 is actually 142 shots merged together using StarStax. :) Did you make it over there yourself?

Hi all, Just wanted to share a couple of shots taken from the 'Global Rainbow' art display in Whitley Bay. 1. 2. 3. More on my blog + info. http://boundey.co.uk/blog/?p=374

Hi, You might want to up the ISO on your camera if shooting in real low light situations. Exposure 0.017 sec (1/60) Aperture f/1.4 Focal Length 50 mm ISO Speed 320 Try ISO 1600 and it will increase your shutter speed to get it 'less blurry'. :) Increasing the ISO will increase noise...

Happy New Year to you too. Lets hope 2012 is a good year for everyone. :)

I quite like number 4. The light seems to work well on this shot.

Beautiful image. This one deserves to be printed and displayed. :)

Great shot, although i think it would maybe benefit from a tighter crop to loose the clutter (cans and bottles).
