I went to some sites that reviewed each flash separately, never against each other, so I still am unsure about which would be better for me.

I'll be back on the 20th. I'll pretty much be free that whole week except for Wednesday too.

Get on it! And post pictures when you're done! Please? :D

 

Well, I just need a flash. I'm not looking to buying a whole bunch of lighting equipment for shoots and whatnot. I think I might just buy the 430EX and then when I get good with it, upgrade to the 580 and use the 430 as a slave flash as you mentioned.

More suggestions/thoughts please!

 

 

cool shot!

 

thx! I actually have better ones from today but a friend has my cf card, I have to wait till I get those shots back before I can upload them.

 

I use the 430, simply because I rarely use flash. I couldnt justify paying $500 for a flash Id rarely ever use.

 

because I like looking at pictures and seeing people get better as they post more.

 

What ISO were you shooting at? Looks a bit grainy. Cool shot though.

 

the grain is there on purpose to add mood to the photo along with the blown out whites and crushed black levels tilted horizon off center perspective point all there on purpose. I have lots of clean glossy shots too depending on what I want the photo to look like.

I think the iso was at 600 or around there, not sure, I set up the camera really quick and had someone else take the pic, it was trickey telling the person how I wanted the photo composed because she wasnt familiar with photography, had to walk her through how I wanted the composition to be.

 

almost looks like a zombie movie other than u don't have ur hands out ha ha

 

Ugh it needs to stop snowing...

 

We can always go to Canoga Camera & see if they have a used 430EX there or something for a better deal.

I'll probably work on the door panels a bit today, it's tons of fiberglassing, it sucks, but I'll post pics when it's done. I mean, its going to look just like how it did before, just fits better. We'll see.

But, I haven't even posted pics of my system yet. It's always dark by the time I get home. =/

 

I actually found the 430EX locally for $200, so I'm gunna pick it up sometime this week. I'm planning to buy the 50mm and some other stuff when we go to Canoga though.

Meh, I'll just have to see it in person when I get back down then.

 

just saw the 50mm macro, caught my eye a bit

 

Last Saturday, some friends and I went to Japantown in San Jose and took some shots. Here are a few of mine:

 

I'm gonna go out and try and snap some photos today Haven't gotten a chance to really play with my new body yet

 

i play with my body all the time.......Canon 5d that is. ha ha

I am hoping to have some new pics tomorrow. Spending the day with the girlfriend so maybe we will get out and take some photos.
