Hi all, Some of you may have seen some of my posts already, but in the interest of getting more involved in the community I thought I'd officially say hi! I currently Live in Christchurch and work in Portsmouth so generally around Dorset and Hampshire. Recently changed all my kit from...

Also interested to know the answer to this. Great shots!

By 1:1 do you mean a full power flash? With ETTL deciding I wouldn't know, unless the exif contains data on it. I can tell you with my relatively short lived experience with it I haven't had a situation where it hasn't had enough power. I shoot in manual and let ETTL do the rest - so it would be...

Any suggestions on this at all?

That is my understanding yes. I am sure the 580 as a master can trigger the 430 EX II as a slave in the same way the newer bodies can, but I don't know if the 580 does any more singing or dancing other than its increased range. To be honest I am using my 430 EX II with a Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8...

If I understand you correctly, there is no reason you can't in the future upgrade to a 600D/60D/7D etc which has the wireless trigger functionality. You can also buy a wireless flash trigger for the 550D which plugs into the hotshoe - i'm sure someone else in the know will be able to recommend...

I had the same issue on my 550D but changed it on-camera. The setting was under Copyright Information. Is there no such menu option on the 5D?

Great shots, particularly like the alteration on #1 you just posted. Well done. What kit do you shoot with?

Thanks all. I should add, for the last photo the lens tip was rested on a part of the window but I was holding the body - sorry if i misled anyone! I'd have to have hands of stone otherwise :D I was quite pleased with the results considering the light conditions in most of the images. Any...

Re exposure, I will have a bit of a tinker in Aperture. I guess the significance of the second one made it important to me, it's a real shame the background wasn't more interesting. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated :cool:

A couple of shots from my recent trip to Munich. Handheld as I didn't take a tripod. Would really appreciate some feedback, some non-portrait in the urban section (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=373218) too. Santa Claus by trickpic, on Flickr Dachau -...

A few shots from my recent trip to Munich. First time out with most of my kit and I have had some good results and others a bit disappointing. Everything was hand held as I didn't take a tripod. Would really appreciate some feedback. IMG_2210 by trickpic, on Flickr Marienplatz by...

Wow, stunning shots. Were they all taken with the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4? All at max aperture? Stunning detail for high(er) ISO shots and you must have a very steady hand, the first being taken at 1/40 and presumably 50mm focal length. Congrats!

I have just returned from Munich on my first major trip out with my recent "upgrades". I have just switched over from a Micro Four Thirds Setup (I had an SLR previously, moved away to mirrorless and then back again :lol:). Most of my gear I took on this trip was new so I thought it would be...

Yep, both Canon UK dealers listed on the Canon website. I was considering going grey market initially but went for the full warranty instead.
