Here we go, http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/BrandingSM.mov I get lost at the Path bit and bodged my way around it maybe you'll have more luck...
Managed to get this on all my shots..
430EX, bounced second curtain flash, Manual mode, F2.8 1/3 second shutter, ISO 400 and see how it goes. You may want to try it with normal flash though, as with second curtain it fires a small initial flash which people will think was the main one and may turn away.
Been away from my camera for a few days so no more pictures :(
Going to flag the eye shot:

What software you using?
They all look a little flat. Had a play with the last one, brought the exposure back up and added some contrast, made it look more natural.
Edit: beaten to it, like that one, if your using photomatix run the tone mapping, should give a real good look.
Nice shots, I'd say there about 1 and 2/3rd stops underexposed, which is probably complete jargon to you but had a play in photoshop to bring the exposure back.. :)
This tutorial may help explain exposure...

Thats a good shot Andy!
Took my 40D and 1 prime away with me at the weekend and only came across this, rather boring I'm afraid lol, think I'll stick with the other as my marked shot..
This challenge is great, just realised how uncomfortable I am at street shooting, something to work on... walked past what could have been better but bottled it :o
That thing looks rather old, probably safe to say it'll need re-chipping (unless its just Canon that has the issue with old Sigma gear) which probably isn't possible now.
Your probably under exposing, if your in Av, does the number flash at you, this would indicate that your not going to get proper exposure.
If your shooting hand held the best thing you can do is up the ISO to 800-1600, then use the lowest f/number available to you with partial metering...
Not sure if Windows Movie Maker can change the pictures quick enough. Own CS3? See the tutorial in the 6.5fps thread, would be a hefty file if it was a .gif though, interest in doing something like that myself...
edit: just had a search on the POTN forums, they also mention Quicktime Pro or...
thanks, yeah not sure if it was actually hitting 6.5 and only stuck to 2-3 burst shots during the game (partially because I'm an idiot and left 5GB's of cards at home and had to use my back up 2x256mb cards) but its nice to have it available..
Shot my first lacrosse game with the new 40D, I'd have given up with my 350D just at the sight of rain, let alone no sun and mist, this thing is amazing, anyway enough rambling, 6.5fps ftw!
.Gif and CS3 tutorial...
As said deffo sensor dust, really shows up at f/20.
Depends how confident you are, need to do my old camera some time soon, got quoted £50-£60 by a local store, for that money I'll do it myself.
Edit: have you tried something like a Giotto Rocket blower? could get some of it off...
