    Thanks lads. Yer am pleased with this one. I love that Raynox filter, £40 and it allows you to see that kind of detail.

    Grasshopper macro

    Saw him/her on the upper cupboards just below the door in the utility room earlier, grabbed the camera with the Raynox DCR250 filter, opened the door and it climbed up a bottle and on to the top, so was able to get this. Grasshopper by Siarm, on Flickr

    Flash won't fire in manual mode off camera.

    Figured it out, swap the transceivers over and works fine now... Thought it didn't make any difference, but apparently it does with the ones I have. Changed them over a few times just to make sure.

    Flash won't fire in manual mode off camera.

    Yer channel and group are the same, if I press the test button, the flash will fire in ETTL mode, change it straight over to manual and it won't fire. I believe the 430 EXII is a slave flash, so can't change it to master, if that's what you mean? And yes, have tried changing the setting from...

    Done exactly the same with an SD card, that was in a point and shoot... Card was full of water, let it dry out and is fine. Camera I shot with the air riffle lol

    What do you think for a first attempt?

    I think it's a cool shot, I like the horizon being in the middle and the water reflection. As said possibly a bit to much vignetting, but if that's what you like. Also again as said before that little vertical streak is a bit distracting, looks like shiz on the lens.
