Manual or Auto
Hi all
I use a Nikon digital SLR camera. (perhaps the question is which digital camera should I use?) What flash equipment do members recommend using for long, 4 hours, wedding/social events. Some of the main problems are; enough flash power for 4 hours shooting having to work fast in order to capture peoples expressions etc. Also would one use auto or manual flash/camera? And what about auto focus? Have any members had these problems and how did they tackle them? Many people say ONLY manual - if that's true then I might as well buy a basic camera - if there is such a thing. In a nutshell(??) Thanks for your valuable time |

I believe it's called the 60 or 600 series. See these, to start: http://www.epinions.com/Metz_70_MZ_5..._Flashes_70251 http://www.epinions.com/Metz_60_CT_4...__Flashes_5241 |

If you have ttl then I'd consider getting a flash that makes use of it. long hours and quick recycle use usually means external hi-voltage battery source. So you are looking at Qflash, metz, some sunpacks, keep in mind that the expensive systems usually come with a hi voltage external battery already. So a $500 or so flash isn't that much more expensive than a $100 vivitar with all the accessories like the metal feet, and an add on external battery. for a way cool look that is significantly improved over the average wedding shooter then the one thing you can do to take a step up is to get into key and fill slave flash, a second unit on a light stand. So with a back up you would be looking at 3 set ups. this reply is echoed to the z-prophoto mailing list at yahoogroups.com |
