Check out this link for my public photo album, i know it's yahoo, but it's free! Very happy to hear any critique. Mostly unprocessed, i know i should add a bit more saturation and contrast to most. There's a shot with the photographer and his girlfreind too! Oh yeah, how do i calibrate the colour system in PS?

Hey thanks for the album. I will take some time to go through your gallery. I think you have a good eye for photography...some very nice composition there. I believe you will bring back heaps of good photos from your Silk Road trip

I got the L fever.. hahaha.. not really... I need the range and quality... I'm just a picky bastard.

I find using an external flash is so much better than the built in one. I have an old manual National flash I had working on the Sony.. ever since then, I needed one and the 420EX was enough. I might get a 550 and use the 420 as a slave.



I know you got the L fever!!

What about a 580ex for $588?!

yes, mate, it's got the Aust warranty. I ordered it because I want to make use of the GST refund when I leave in March for Singapore.

My friend runs a computer sales and repair shop and he can get flashes, Sandisk CF cards, some photo storage devices, printers!!, PDAs, 511A batteries, compact digital cameras up to G6 but unfortunately NOT cameras bodies and lenses.

He quoted me a Canon 9950 printer for $819 when everybody's selling it for $9XX...I also paid $100 for an Ultra II 512MB CF some six months ago.

I was quoted about $660 from foto riesel, and that was a discounted price, too.

I remember asking someone at Whiltons about them stocking/selling lenses and gear. Basically unless you're willing to plonk down about $50k to have their bodies and lenses on display and/or in stock, Canon won't sell you pro gear.

yes, I can understand that Foto Riesel needs to pay for rent, electricity and Mick's salary. This friend of mine has a computer business and I don't think he relies on selling photo equipment to make a living and I think he's not making much profit out of the sale to me

Flash guns have international warranty!!! but A$588 is about HK$3616 in today's exchange rate of 6.15. I'll get my gf's father to buy it from Man Shing.

But $588.. very tempting.... I wonder if a remote mount can be used to put my 420EX on...

Find out how much for 1Gb CF and a CompactDrive PD7X 60Gb and without a HDD.....

Man, the last time I was in HK it was about 4.5 and I thought it was doing well.

To be honest I've never really been interested in Mardi Gras, but if everyone else is going then I'll go too.

The Thirlmere train trip is on the next day, too.

Smelly, your 420ex should have come with a set of feet that doubles as a tripod mount.

It should be in a separate pocket in the pouch. It's a plastic H shaped thing.

Maybe the dodgy Wing Shing bxxtard stole it or jipped me on it. Never really looked into it. Doesn't matter... if and when I get the 580, it'd have legs.

getting a good spot is important...it gets really crowded

I wasn't interested in Mardi Gra until I did the Lazy Kings parade and plus I will be getting my 580EX
