Yes
Last night my other half "squeaked" a fox down the field and got it very close and when he shone the torch on it it sat like a dog, did not move then got up and walked away.:thinking:

He came in and asked if I wanted any photos of it, it was 11.30 p.m. and I was in bed,:D so I know I am keen, but not that keen, I said "NO" I am not getting up and dressed for that:shrug:

We are going to try again tonight and I don't want to fluff this up so what settings etc do you think I should have them camera set on?

Any ideas as I may only have one chance at this.:gag:
 
Sorry David not understanding :thinking: having a "thick" moment.
 
He means using a flash held by your other half perhaps, connected with a cable 5m allowing the camera and flash to communicate. your camera bag doesn't show a separate flash though.
 
I have a seperate flash but not a cable :shrug:

Does that mean I cannot do this, if I can what settings should the camera be on i.e ISO exp etc?
 
It won't work without a flash Nicki... and the one on your camera won't work well.

What you need is a powerful flash, off camera, and preferable as close to the fox as poss.

You can fiddle with the settings all you like but in the dark with only a torch you won't get anything any good.

Even a torch with the power of a MILLION candles won't do it... ask Rhod Gilbert! :lol:
 
if the arwa was floodlit or urban then maybe, I'm talking the london embankment levels of exposure but it'd be touch and go (thinking 1/60 f2 iso3200-6400)

if not go to the advertisers section and check out flash in the pan i think he sells 10m ttl cables for you to put a flash on

you can use a flash on camera but it will look ****
 
No probs,

I have a 430 EX will try it if it comes back but not looking likely:shrug:
