Third Party Manufacturers / Disposable film cameras
« on: May 07, 2013, 09:32:56 AM »
I'm wondering how an old disposable film camera works, does it have a fixed shutter speed or does it have an photometer? I know that the lens and aperture are fixed.

thanks for all advices, I greatly appreciate!

I used two 42" reflectors for some shoots and a flash with shoot-through white umbrella for others..

I need to improve my composition now, it was more a "lightning experiment" as it was my first attempt.

Thank you again!  :)

Lenses / Why some lens says "macro"?
« on: March 19, 2013, 01:55:54 PM »
Some lens have written on them the word MACRO to show the minimum focusing distance, why do they use the word "macro"? Or, at what minimum focusing distance a lens can be called macro?

Ok, something is amiss here.   I have a medium red-green color blindness, but I passed the test.

Luck?  :P

I think this is a case for photoshopping out the ugly power pole and lines.  They really detracts from te image of the beautiful building.

Speedlites, Printers, Accessories / Re: Help me decide: 270EXII vs 90EX
« on: November 12, 2012, 03:27:58 PM »
I am deciding whether to go for the 6D when it becomes available.  Not having a pop up flash was a bit dissapointing so now I am trying to figure out what the true cost of the camera would be.  Considering that I do own a 430EXII, currently my greatest use of a camera is on holidays and travel, but there is kids on the way and thus potraitures and candids would become more important.

So to add fill flash to my 6D (or 5DIII) without lugging the 430EXII around which one will be best.
270EXII                                         90EX
+More Power                                 +Small and light
+Titable head                                +Optical Master for 430EXII
-Larger                                          +Wider @ 24mm
-No optical master                          -Low power and no tilt

At first this was an easy decision but the Optical Master is intriguing as it would allow me to start experimenting with off camera flash.  I do want to limit my cash outlay, so if the 270EXII is, in your opinion, overwhelmingly better for the intended main use, what "cheap" offbrand controller would you recommend. Maybe something that goes beyond line of sight.

I know most will say it depends on yout intended use, but if this is not clear, qualify your recommendation then

Thanks alot


The 90EX is too weak, worst than the pop up flash on your 500D.

Get the 270EX II and a remote trigger if you want it off camera.

But you can get it cheaper: http://www.yongnuostore.com/topic-yongnuo-flash/

Btw, they now have one (YN-568EX) that suports high speed sync...
