Isn’t Photography Wonderful?
Sunday, March 15th, 2009
Well, you know what they say about hindsight. From where I am now standing, it’s all so clear to me. Because I bought a camera all those years ago my life has since been filled with so many incredible moments. Like the evening I spent alone in the Kimberley, perched on the edge of a cliff watching the sun set on the Mitchell Falls. Or perhaps the time I was invited to watch the Bard dancers perform under a full moon on the Dampier Peninsula. And, of course, the recent morning flight in an ultra light, becoming no more than a parachute with a propeller strapped to my back. Yep, without a camera I’m sure life would be… well, different at least.

Flashing Off Camera
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Often, the most effective use of your flashgun is off-camera. In other words, the flash is not sitting on the camera’s hotshoe, but is physically disconnected. How the flash synchronises with the camera differs from system to system. Sometimes, synchronisation is often achieved by using specially designed cords or leads which plug either into the camera’s PC flash connection or to the hotshoe itself. With dedicated flash systems, the manufacturer often provides the means by which the flash can be off camera and retain full dedication without having any cords or leads at all. One of these is Nikon’s famous iTTL system. Investigate for yourself the systems that are compatible with your equipment.
