It was a Sigma 105mm Macro lens, with SB800 speedligh as master and an SB600 as slave... I still havent found an affordable way to 'mount' them off camera yet.. Any ideas?

Great shots Earl! Especially the last one, very surreal.

Has anyone got any advice on a good camera choice?

I just want to be able to take high quality pictures when on holiday or if I get a random inspiration to take photos of the weather or something. tounge2.gif But at the same time if I get into photography, I want to own something that can still do a decent job without having to spend another wad of cash on something that isn't really that much more expensive. If you get what I mean...?

The Nikkon D40 looks pretty good in reviews, any opinions would be appreciated.  smile_o.gif

Great shots Earl! Where was it? Looks like part of NZ...

[CAS] Daniel: For the retail price of the D40 you could get a second hand D70... But yes the D40 is a great camera to start out on smile_o.gif

Sniper UK: What filter is that?

This is not as dangerous as it looks... Cable release and timer essential.. And a flexible tripod. You get a few strange looks at the lights, and some people think you area speed camera when the flash goes off. Obvious tip: If your driving... Dont look at the flash when it goes off . I was after some stock images but I think I need to get the flash set up better and get the images sharper.

Nice, second one is the best. You're right, it's NZ on the Abel Tasman coast track. Holidays were far too short, and I saw far too little of the country.

yes....

if you have ANY experience in photography, go for a D80 instead... it´s worth the extra money....

i actually regret that i bought a D50 and not a D80 (D50 is replaced by the D40 wich is a bit cheaper)

so if you have the money, go for the D80.....

Went out for a mini night shoot tonight.

Some of the pics could probably benefit from some better post-processing, but meh tounge2.gif

Rather helpful car (this is that same level crossing which has been replaced by a bridge, but for some reason the gates and lights remain in place and permanently lit...)

Train from the bridge.

I was taking a 30 second exposure of the signal (it was about to change, wanted to try and get the red, amber and green in one shot) but I bashed the tripod, so I thought "nuts to it" and this is what resulted tounge2.gif
