New Camera Shots

[Dogvet06]

i have a speed light on the way...i cant wait for it to come in using my studio lights currently for my good shots and they are a bit cumbersome. Pat you are going to be occupied for a while with that camera...they are hard to put down

Oh, I have done that before I was trying to get directly infront of my fish in my breeder tanks and they never sit still enough to get the angle shot when I am close so I use by big lense so I can be farther away, but then I can't get the right angle so I just shoot stright ahead.

Will try it that way when I get my new lens.

What type of speedlight Jaimie?

And they are hard to put down thats why I got a 32gig card and a 64gig coming soon so I can do more HD video with my camera as well. And HD video uses more drive space for sure.

Jaimie, thinking X-mas for that. Should bring the picture taking to a whole new level.

Pat,

I found this old thread but a reliable thread regarding speed lights for Nikon. Some good tips and info. I plan on getting the SB600 I think over the SB700 as some of the features will not directly work with the D3100 as the thread talks about.

Hope this is helpful to all.

i got this speedlight which according to reviews its pretty comparable to the canon 580ex but way cheaper. i figure im not using it for weddings and such so it should do. and i bought a pixel king wireless flash trigger and a gay fong light sphere diffuser. i had some chase rewards from my bank card and credit card that i could use at amazon so all of this was only 25$ for me

Pat, I used to use a flash unit that was connected to the camera with a cable. I put the flash on some eggcrate above the tank and when I took a photo I would generally be pleased as the light from above makes the light look natural.

Trish, Gypsy was dumped in my front pasture two years ago. She was a scared, skinny little mommy dog who was nursing a kitten when I found her. Today she is happy relaxed fun little dog who has adopted me as her human. She has come a long way.

Bob, that is my plan in time.

she was nursing a kitten??? amazing!

if I remember correctly, I believe that Matt (discusnoob here) uses flash mounted on top of the tank.....

It was the weirdest thing with the kitten. The kitten and another cat were dumped with Gypsy. The older cat is my barn cat Blaze.

Matt does. I watched him and actually helped to move fish alittle for a better picture at the NADA show.
