I've never found the posing issue to be a problem if I'm honest. The pre flash is fractions of a second before the main one so I've never had to ask people to pose again...

I'm definitely no expert on the subject, but I've been working for a night club photography company for 18+ months now and am getting good results. Settings obviously vary in different lighting etc but I usually start at around 1/5 f8 ISO 1600. Rear Sync Flash (just using ETTL). I up the shutter...

Really like number 2. Reminds me of that famous Martin Parr shot

Some beautiful pictures there, I think number two would be my favourite

The city centre is really nice to walk around and it's also got an amazing cathedral and castle, which are the obvious photo choices. There's a boat tour which goes to the other more photogenic side of the cathedral which would be good to see. There's loads more to see but my favourites.

A modified sign, seemed to be loads of these in Rome last summer http://i40.tinypic.com/dcc4rs.jpg Very clever but please remember 1024px on the longest side

That's really impressive coming from a smart phone. Good shot

I agree, although the colours are cool, b+w looks very classy

That's the dream! :lol: As I mentioned before this is not a paying position etc, just hobby. But we all like an excuse for new toys don't we...

The 24-70 is also an option, it could always double up for my nightclub work (if I had to sell the 17-55 to fund it, that is)

Something in that focal range would be ideal! But.. I think I've been spoilt by having a 2.8 lens :D

Turns out 55 wasn't enough for some of the jumps on the far side of the arena. But they may crop down once I put them on my Mac. The nearside jumps; 55 was okay, not the best, but okay. I don't want to drop a lot of cash on a telephoto lens as I know I wouldn't use it as much, so my 17-55 will...

Number 5 for me too. That shadow on the roof really adds something to the picture.

That graffiti one is great. Really like the idea of contrast between that and the spotless dress

I have a UV filter on the lens, plastic bag may be an option..
