Tonight I tried some experiments that while not an abject failure, were not terribly successful either. I put my camera on a tripod and tried some long exposures of musicians. On a few of them I tried using my flash. I tried the AF50 triggered by hand, and triggered wirelessly, as well as on the camera and a couple with just the pop up flash. One weird thing was that on some of the shots, the pop up flash seemed to have more "juice" than the AF 540, off the camera, in manual mode, at full power.
One issue is probably that at least the red channel of the stage lights was pretty bright so it would have taken a lot of flash to over power them. Has anyone else tried anything along these lines? What worked? What didn't? Some of my more successful attempts from tonight are here: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157628602346425/ I used fluidr, because it shows the tech data. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
