Hi guys, just wondering if anyone out there cycles & goes moutain biking with your camera? Looking to buy a back pack fit for the job, not to bulky....carrying dslr and upto a 200mm lens... Any thoughts or recommendations would be really appreciated.

Hi Gary, these are straight out the camera... & no I've not used a softbox, I don't have one but looking to buy one... Ones been recommended on another thread... I don't have another flash at the moment... Will try a reflector next time see how that goes.... Anyone else got any other advise...

Little update with advise from above and also purchased a pair yn 622s remote triggers.... I've had another go, moved little man a little further away from the background, off camera flash from the left at -1/3 power I think.... Feel I've got the black background perfect? Now I want to get the...

Yes I was thinking one for protection... Extension tubes?

I've gone for the sigma 105mm macro, hopefully arrive beginning of next week, then I can start playing.... Do you guess use filters on macro lenses?

Think of treating myself to a new macro lens for my canon 650d as a birthday treat, well it will be my first macro lens. Looking to buy the sigma 105mm f/2.8 os macro hsm lens. Price is around what I want to pay.. Just wondered what people's thoughts are or should I consider something else...

Creativity backgrounds... There prices seem good... I'd go for a 2m length as it's just for fun at home... But gives that more professional look, would a paper background be better than the material types?

Is it the 60cm one @ £35.99

Where do you buy back drop paper from? As I'm using a black & white muslin kind off material that creases very easily thanks....

I'm in the midlands Phil, Walsall/pelsall area.

Thanks for your tip, I will move little guy further away next time and see how it goes, also looking at getting a soft box as recommended by Phil, first hit on amazon searching speed lite soft box brought one up for just under £30... Worth it if will help me....

Mentioned above is a soft box? Again nothing professional, but nothing cheap can anyone drop a link to what I should consider? Thanks...
