May 8, 201313 yr Please, please, please DON'T wear those dayglo flourescent safety jackets, particularly those with reflective strips on them. You have no idea how much they bugger up photos
May 9, 201313 yr Andy - Looking at your photos from the event, I have to compliment you. They're all excellent. Whatever fill flash setup your using is very natural yet adds nice pop. Maybe you care to share some tricks?
May 9, 201313 yr Author I use a little-known and highly secret technique known as "buggering about with the settings". It's so hush-hush, I can't really say much. This is still a relatively new camera to me and one I've not had nearly enough time using. I had major problems on Monday, as the photos show. Some were coming out light, some dark and some in-between. I went through the settings and so did Kitch and we couldn't find anything wrong. Eventually spotted bracketing was switched on. Once that was turned off all was fine. Next problem was it was set to use single focusing rather than continuous. Now that's sorted I'm really happy with the results, but I'm on Ken Rockwell's site every evening looking for other things I can tweak (and probably break it again)
August 13, 201313 yr Just wondering whether you use single flash burst or continuous, and also do you use the flash on full power or do you cut it back to half or quarter depending on how close or far you are from the subject. Hope this makes sense.

May 11, 201412 yr Author He was back again this year and even brought a mate with him in contrasting yellow day-glo In fact, bloody hi-vis reflective jackets and trousers were everywhere this year. Next year, I'm taking a sniper rifle and woe betide anyone glowing like they've had a holiday in Chernobyl who gets in my sights
