After some thought, I’m in a position to offer €500 at present which is considerably under your asking price after reading above. I hope I don’t offend. I would love this lens, just that it’s not necessity for me right now.
Well, I’m a sucker for madras but Sassy is quite a poser. Love her story and delighted to see she landed on all four paws coming from rescue. Lovely set of images :)
Beautiful image Gary! Colour is great but my preference is the B&W, I like the tones and the treatment you gave it. A place I’ve only visited in Summer time, but the clouds and grey sky make this one for me.
Sure Alessia! Don’t worry. I haven’t got it here to hand but I think it’s the METZ 45 CL 4 digital NiMH
Hammerhead Flash. I am not good with remembering model numbers etc :roll: I especially love the E- TTL mode as my brain doesn’t need to do any work with it :wink:
Great advice re. apertures, shutter and ISO here already. Just adding that I have used a few different flash guns over the past few years. I started out with a modest Vivitar 285 I believe. It taught me a lot about flash and using the manual settings way back in my training. It did the job and did it well. I still have two of those flash guns somewhere and I’d be happy to post to you if you want to play around.
There are two flash guns I use now with my Canon, the 580EX and the Metz. I prefer the Metz by a long shot, though it’s larger, my camera balances easier, flash is on the side, and it gives me a good grip on the camera, I sort of cradle it that way. But it’s not waterproof, so on a rainy day, I prefer to take my canon 580. I think you’ll find if you’re stretching your budget to the speedlight 430 or 580, you’ll pick up a Metz for a similar amount now, they’ve reduced a lot since I purchased mine.
And you say you’re not so good at organising these events Alessia…pfffttt! I’ll keep you in mind for my next fundraiser :wink: Thanks for including me on the list.
