Never found it confusing TBH, just used the search function
I`m using it in conjunction with utube and finding some weird shizz. Ennio Morricone soundtracks for one . Must resist ...

Not sure what you mean? Went to my wife's grandad's and he off loaded all his old camera gear on me. Got a really cool folding fan type flash tooHow does that happen, ha?

"Cracking shot Paul, and well suited to mono, well composed with a good full range of tones, and a very nice sky.

Thanks George
How was Belgium?
Very nice. Didn't realise it was heather season already, need to get myself out soon thenI thought I would share a couple of images from my trip to the Peak District last Saturday. The weather could only be described as 'changeable', at times we saw some sun and others it just poured down! There is definitely a skill to compromising 'edge-scales', one I've not completely figured out. My peak district images are definitely not up to the standard of some posted in this thread.

I went the bank holiday weekend a few years ago and the heather seemed to be at the end of the bloom. I would be interested to see how long it lasts. I try to make a day up there every year from mid-late August, I don't always get there if free time and weather don't match. sadly its a 2.5hr drive for me so I don't get up there very often.Very nice.

Something different is always good. I like the minimalistic view of it.
Today i was using my d750 with a recently purchase 20mm 1.8G. It was really sunny so shooting at around 1/2500th of a seconds if this makes any difference. Then suddently the camera stop working, with ERR display on the top screen, not possible to go in the menu/playback, the shutter was still working when trying to take a picture but not making the same noise. I switch it on off no difference, take the battery off no difference still not working. Swap to the 85mm 1.8G worked absolutly fine, put the 20mm 1.8G back on and no issue. Following this absolutly no issue???
I did look if my camera was part of the recall but no and i did the recall whish seems to be for a flare problem? Anyway anyone has had similar issue?
Hopefully i won't have a problem again but if i do i hope i can get the warranty working.
Just checked my pics from last year and they were the end of August. Don't know why I thought it bloomed later in the yearI went the bank holiday weekend a few years ago and the heather seemed to be at the end of the bloom.

Thanks for asking It was a really good time Paul, Bit hectic but good fun. I did most of our PL/Paddock stuff and left the actual race shots to staff members. Saturday was very warm with spectator folk having all sorts of problems with the heat etc. Race day was more comfortable and as you probably know quite eventful. As one of our contracts is with RB it was particularly nice to see them on the podium and usually means we get a useful bonus when this happens.

Smart move letting your minions do the graft Bonus is a sweet tough
May have the opportunity of being a guest at mclaren for the previous season testing in Barcelona if its there next year.That's just what I pay them for Paul, as they say there's no point in having a dog and barking yourself. Seriously though they're so keen and really experienced they'd probably make a far better job of those shots than me.
George.
I would seriously love the opportunity to do something like this, hope it comes off for youMay have the opportunity of being a guest at mclaren for the previous season testing in Barcelona if its there next year.
A one day thing but we are going there regardless anyway so it may just be a big bonus if it comes off
I came close one year with lotus. As I had a old school friend who worked as one of Kimis mechanics.I would seriously love the opportunity to do something like this, hope it comes off for you

You'll love it Mark, it's a great experience if it comes off.
"The next one that I personally cover will be "Singapore", I absolutely love that place and I usually take my wife with me for a bit of a vacation. And then I'll probably not attend another race until I go back home for the USA meeting"

I'm first in lineYou must have the worst job in the world.
I'll swap with you if you ever get bored of it.
Nope, sync speed is 1/250 which is what the built in flash will go to. HSS requires a speedlight.I thought the built in flash will automatically change into FP mode in manual, but it appears not? At the beach earlier and needed just a blip to assist but couldn't raise above 1/250 - I'm sure I've done that before? Looked at the manual and appears only dedicated flash guns. Extremely rare occurrence anyway.

What I find odd is why there are 2 fp flash speeds, 1/200 and 1/250. Anyone know why?Thanks Toby. I usually take a flash gun away with me but haven't bothered this year.
