Newbie X100 owner here. A lovely camera to use. Here's a couple of pics.

Thanks for all your replies.

My other Lumix ( a GF1) has always had a lesser rattle. I don't want to send it back to find out the next one is exactly the same. :shake:

Hi, I've just bought a second hand lumix GH2 and is rattles loudly inside. It does so, on or off, and irrespective of if a lens is affixed. Any GH2 owners experienced similar, or does it go back? Thanks Rich

I thought Lou looked a little yellow, and the outside of the shop a bit cold.

Looks good. I'd have a look at the white balance if you can though.

I reckon if you were tighter with your flash usage the fence would hardly show. Use a snoot or flag the flashgun to control the spill.

If you're going to the Peak District on a BH then unless you're aiming for "street style photography" then you really need to head off into the sticks. I can spend a day around my patch and see no one, but as I said earlier avoid the common thoroughfares, and the touristy villages.

I'm a bit further north in the Dark Peak. Lots of nice views here. My suggestion, get a map and venture into the open access lands (marked on 1:25,000 maps), avoiding footpaths, that'll give you a unique perspective on the area.

GVFM though watch the bolts, I've had a few disappear out and about. Outdoors if you can, push a leg into the ground which stops them going AWOL.

My advise on a sunny day, is make sure the sun is on the riders faces. You would have better results on the other side of the road.

This weekend gone, I was covering a 3 hour road race. A lap circuit. So normally, I'd drive the opposite way round to the riders, and stop every 10 minutes maybe, set up and take some shots. This time I was informed that the narrow lanes were awkward for parking, and one of the lead cars...

Has anyone tried using the Yongnuo triggers succesfully to trigger a second camera and remote flashes? eg Sender on the handheld camera fires the second camera which has the flash sender in its hotshoe. I know in theory that it works. In practice do you need to use a slower shutter speed...

LOL, I've been taking pictures for I don't know how long, and never trusted it before. I'd have been scuppered though without it on that day.

Great set Graham, I've seen a number of photos from this event, and yours are up there.
