mpmendenhall, that was my cue, thanks :-) Do you know, how I can make the Canon 580EXII not fire while still assisting with auto focus? The next big thing would be to also make it stop using 1/60 in P mode all the time...
Trial and error... That\'s what I do. But still, that takes a lot of time... Sure there must be another way?
retrofocus, that\'s what I figured, too. So... To get everything sharp, I\'d dial in a high f-number, set the focus 2/3 from infinity and fire away, right? 1-15 seconds don\'t shock me, but mostly my shutter speeds are way beyond that in night photography. That\'s why trial and error gets very frustrating...
Funnily, I haven\'t had any over / underexposure with the Sigma Ringflash yet. My only grief is it\'s lack of auto focus assist. The \"modelling lamp\" is a bad joke and doesn\'t do anything for me. Too bad the Canon offering doesn\'t go up to 77mm filter diameter, like my L-lenses do...
Hey.Underpands, the long exposures help me getting the exposure right, but how would I get sharp pictures with a flash light? Any tips on that? Sounds interesting.
Anyone any experiences using a light-meter for night photography?
