Whats the advantages of changing it from 16 seconds to 4 seconds?

Still a little confused... Are we saying that if I set to 16 seconds that it will lock the metering/exposure for the time until I fully depress the button and take the shot (and then reset) ? Also if I change it to four seconds what will that do?

I shoot with a Canon 7d and a Canon 5d and have same issue with both In the menu theres a setting for how long the metering applies for I think the default is 16 seconds Now Im outdoors and shooting in a football stadium I have to move from shooting people on the front row of the stadium in...

This is an easy one Second hand 5D mark i 50mm 1.8 Sorted - I shoot gigs with that setup and it can handle 90% of all situations without flash

I lend lenses to mates if we are on a shoot together but am too busy to lend anything out any other time..

You realise youre gonna have to post a photo of you holding it dont you? !!

ps what background are you using there?

I think you're doing great mate The best thing is that you are just going for it and learning by actually doing it Best way to learn - keep experimenting and nipping on for ongoing advice and encouragement The new lights look great btw

Hi Daniel Coincidentally I picked one up today for £16.99 from Jacobs Tried it out - its great Recommended Neil

I will whack one up tomorrow Thanks everyone so far - all advice is welcome

Studio will be portrait, fashion and glamour. Will also be shooting bands and basic music videos Lighting is two sets of studio lights with umbrellas and softboxes and a ringflash Size is 30 foot by 15 foot in main area which is painted matt black on walls, floor and ceiling

Hi all Am looking for your suggestions as to what to have in my new studio I dont mean lighting, but instead I mean backdrops, props, chairs, rugs etc What would you say is essential?

I shoot with a 1.8 an find it fine A 1.4 would be totally suitable for gigs - even really dark ones. I shoot bands and gigs pretty much all week and never have an issue at 1.8 so go get a 1.4 and enjoy ps I moved from a 2.8 to a 1.8 and the difference blew me away...

PS - I am myself a very technical person who knows specs and functions of my cameras - but prefer to shoot and enjoy.

Have to say that reading some comments and critiques on the internet is showing that photography is steadily being infiltrated by geeky techy folk who want to show their technical knowledge rather than their pictures! In an ideal world someone would post their shots and get a few suggestions...
