Hi Patricio, I was doing a whole load of rear curtain shots for him, but if the picture had just been a portrait without any movement then yes I would have kept the flash sync as front curtain. Although all the pics on that web page were shot in manual mode. In fact, when I use flash, I always shoot in manual, and let the flash adjust its power accordingly. My standard settings are always 1/250th @ either f8 or f5.6 (bounced) and an ISO of between 200 and 400 for indoor portraits / party snaps etc. I have a 420EX and a 580EX and a Quantum Turbo and it all works very well. Shooting with flash on my old D60 was sometimes hit and miss. With the 1D, it's always 'hit' :-) HTH Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
