Hi Don yes it looks excellent. I have decided to go to my local shop where i bought the camera and see what prices they can do for the flash unit.

As for the extension tubes I think i will plump for the Kenko set which is quite reasonable.

Thanks for all your suggestions and advice. I dont think this is the last of my queries on this subject though.

Hi thanks to all for their advice. I bought a Nikon flash in the end. The sigma was Cheaper by a £100.00 but the guy did a deal for me and knoled £50.00 quid off.

It is wireless so I can set it up on a seperate tripod if I want. (Sounds interesting, I wonder when I will need to do this?

Hi Nogbad,

What model did you get ?

Don

Nogbad,

You really need to be broadband and it is still not that fast but look here - Nikons flash site http://nikonimaging.com/global/techn...ight/index.htm

Don thanks for the link, I bought the SB600. Had a play the other night and found my grasp of the concepts of flash wanting. I was dissapointed with my efforts!.

Possibly two causes.
1. I was very tired after a long day at work or
2. I'm just thick!

Any way i will have a play tommorrow when I am fresh and dont have other things and jobs on my mind.

If you know of any good web sites re Flash photography I would be pleased to hear of them.

Regards

Nogbad

Other than here you mean.:D

I will have a look but would like to set up my new pc first.

Don

Nogbad,

Don't worry what the pic looks like but post a sample. That would help a lot to give some guidance. A longer range shot of the subject would also be helpfull in that.

Always remember flash wizards started out with a load of duds ..... thats learning for you. My mentor resides in another forum. :)
