Are you pointing the torch from behind the camera or are you pointing it in front? I have big on those just waiting to see what happens now although i`ve found a pack of 12 for 10 quid

stand infront of the camera, pointing towards the camera (but not at the lens, you may overexpose) and dont light yourself up or you will be seen in the background...

on the pictures with the girl, i was standing behind her pointing the torch towards the floor by the camera...

because i was wearing black and not lighting myself up, the camera had nothing to pickup.

then i stood infront of her and fired the flash!

nice explanation mmh. I'm tempted to give it a go, I can imagine it would take a lot of practise though to get right

errr... in my case... alot of trial and error... the hardest thing is getting somewhere dark enough though... we had to go into the woods to avoid all ambient light/light pollution, and enough fallout for the flash not to hit anything behind her for those with Daisy...

As its digital, go nuts, its not like its going to cost you anything in film or developing just to give it a go

Let me get this right.. you have a boss that allows you to go into the darkest woods at night with his daughter?! Does he even know about this?

Thought it would go with the woods story That and I was having too much fun childishly painting parts of the layer transparent

Well i just won a set of those torches for a pound with 2 pound postage

I prolly should learn to take photos normally to start with but what the hell it looks fun messing with lights

[Bobster]

a nice idea, like that

[BlackDwarf]

Another watermark and logo Bobster?

I've been working on mine, any constructive criticism?

[Funkstar]

Good photo that. And I like the watermark/logo too

Thanks, still getting used to my 450D. Used the kit lens at a gig, what a load of rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish. The 50mm seems to fare much better.

Anyone got any shots using a 28-70mm Sigma f/2.8? My Uncle gave me his old one and i haven't picked it up yet. Is it any good? - I'm told it can be a tad soft wide open.

my 2009 border, i have 3 variations of it, 1 for each of my icons

next time try focusing on the singer rather than the microphone.. at f2.8 you have a very narrow DoF
oh and try nailing the exposure, your ISO will thank you for it later
the 2009 doesn't quite work for me in that type not clear enough you need to add a copyright -©-symbol as well, its not bad for just putting a bunch of custom brushes one over the other

any glass really, can be said to be a little soft wide open, you get some that are above average wide (nothing a little sharpening cant sort tho')

i use a 28-75 2.8 rather than Sigma's 24-70.. but i hear its a decent bit of glass all the same
