Thanks. If you think about the 'freeze' part, then you either have that at the beginning of the 'movement' part or at the end. Some pics might look better with first curtain. Hey, now *middle* curtain - that exist anywhere? > >I agree,... rules are made to be broken... and flash sync is an area in >which I want to experiment. To get you in the ball-park, I shot those footy pics on manual, with aperture about f8, and shutter at about 1/8th or 1/15th I think. ISO was nominal - about 400, and most were shot moving the camera about as well as the subject, handheld without looking through the finder. Lens was a Sigma 14mm 2.8 (I have since sold it). My wides now are a Pentax 15 3.5 and EF 20 2.8 and EF 24-70 2.8. Best of luck, and post some keepers ;-) 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 ***********************************************************
