i was using 2 x 180w lights but could do with some more powerfull lights for outdoor stuff, not really what the limit is to the lights you can use (if you go brighter you might be only able to use 1 light per battery pack) - i picked mine up off ebay for £100, they are normally £390 blab from...

Well decided to give my Tronix Explorer XT SE power pack a go today and shoot my REX, so it was good bye speedlites and hello studio lights. i desperately need to get some new triggers as mine are shite. anyways here are the pics, only got a couple as the weather and security ment i didnt get...

The 7d is a great bit of kit once you have got you head around the new AF settings and menu options - its completely different to the other canon range so dont expect to just jump in and start snapping great pics if you are upgrading for another canon varient. It takes a while to get to grips...

Here are my pics from yesterdays action at brands hatch, luckily apart from one shower the weather was pretty good, some 'arty' ones lol sorry about the random sizes, did them in two batches and something has obviously changed without me...

im getting a full copy of this at work next week, does any one know if they have developed a feature to apply motion blur at different amounts so you can do this http://www.virtualrig-studio.com/ with out having to $3,745

oohh nice, get a set of these on there though, they are made for that car

access the standard menu on the back that shows shutter speed, aperture, iso etc. select the focus mode. then use the button labelled M-fn (or something like that) near the shutter button to scroll to a different focus mode

its an old aston martin v8 vantage (1983 ish)

Yesterday i stopped by a local car show, there was surprisingly quite a cool mix of cars there, and best of all it was FREE. Gordini renault was awesome
