<p>Thanks all, Scott you made a good point which will try asap. In the meantime I found another possible solution that may also work. There is a custom function on Av mode which will lock the shutter at 1/200. When compared to the 1/60 in a room it gave the same results. </p>

<p>Hi all<br>

I am shooting at 1/60 on the P setting on my canon 5d mk2. I tried other programs such as Tv and Av. On Tv when I set my shutter speed at 1/90, the camera automatically adjust itself to a slower shutter speed like 1/30 or 1/45. <br>

I would like to keep my shutter speed of at least 1/90. Is there any setting you may suggest? <br>

Thanks for your advice </p>

<p>Thank you all for your help. I will try White House Custom Color first for guestbooks. Then I will try ohters for the actual photo album too. The quality of the print is ok? because on most online printing companies the printing quality is not good.</p>

 

<p>Hi all<br /> I am searching online to prepare a professional photo album and guest books but i need advice from where it is best (price and quality) to print them. I already did some searches but I would need advice from photographers who already use the services.<br>

I would prefer custom made photo books or guestbooks which I prepare in photoshop at home and then upload them for printing. The service must be available to Europe.<br /> Thank you for you advice.<br /> <br /> Mario</p>

<p>Ty Yang, one good feature the pocket wizards have is that you can attach a flash with the hotshoe of the transmitter.<br>

I will not need another reveiver to make another flash mounted with the camera bracket to work.</p>

<p>what is the exact model of your pocket wizards? I read that the new ttl version of pocket wizards is not relyable but I would also need a complete tutorial to learn how to use them well without ttl :)</p>

 

<p>will the alien bees work with ttl ?</p>

<p>hi dg<br>

what is your reason to ignore the skyports ? Do you have pocket wizards ?</p>

 

<p>I found the elinchrom el skysport trigger set with 2 transmitters at 197 euros at calumet photo. Seems worth the price if they live up to hard work :)</p>

<p>Thank you all for your contributions.<br>

I would need ttl becuase in a wedding I would not like to test the flash before shooting. I need to make things easier.<br>

Greg is the ST-E2 reliable when it comes hide a flash around a corner. I am planning to shoot infront of the of the artal to light the main subject and then put a secondary flash behind the artal to light the rest of the church. Between the ST-E2 and the flash I will have the subject and the altar as obstacles. Plus the primary flash needs to be placed on a mounting bracket near the camera.<br>

The new pocket wizards tt1 has the option to add a flash on top of the transmitter.</p>

<p>regards</p>

 

<p>Dear all<br>

I am planning to shoot some weddings in the near future and would like to have a wireless trigger system available for the date of the events.<br>

I already did some research. Nowadays the Pocket Wizard TT1 and TT5 are being marketed a lot but I read about some issues about them in some forums. It would help if anyone own a set so he can comment on them. They are expensive too.<br>

On the other hand there is also the wireless tranmitter by canon but I think that it is limited only to be used when there are no obstacles between the transmitter and the slave.<br>

There are also cheap options on ebay.<br>

Which is the best option.?</p>

<p>Regards</p>

<p>Mario</p>

<p>Thanks for your contribution. I think I would prefer to invest my money on small strobes like the canon 580exII. I already have one of those and a sigma 530dg.<br>

<br /> I also have a set of bowens strobes but those are bulky to carry around.<br>

I will check also on Lowel to see what they have available.</p>

<p><br /> I was also thinking of buying a bulb like those used by videographers on their video cameras but I dont know on which brand to rely on.<br /><br>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I would like some advice on what to purchase regarding continuous light system that I can use in churches to illuminate more dark backgrounds. I would also like to use the continous light setup to create more light on the bride while in front of the altar to make my telephoto shots and shots without flash easier.<br>

Currently I use the flash to fill in and then lighten the background colours on computer.<br>

Thank you for your suggestions.</p>

<p>Mario</p>

<p>I personally have a 10-22mm canon lens</p>

<p>I dont regret the moment I bought it</p>

<p>Fernando, for the sigma i have nothing to quarrel about except from the fact that it takes some time to focus. I am afraid to buy a 5d mk body and then will have issues with the lens compatability.<br>

I was aiming to buy the 24-105 f4 L with the camera as well.<br>

regards</p>

<p>Hi all<br>

any suggestion from where i can buy a 5d mkII with the 24-105 is f4 lens?<br>

I would prefer an online shop from europe and most preferable in UK.<br>

I have a sigma 24-70 f2.8. Will it work on the new 5d mk II?<br>

Thanks for you suggestions.</p>

<p>mario</p>

<p>Paul are you refering to the new 5d or the 5d mk2 ? Because I think I will buy the new 5d.</p>

<p>I think at this point in time I will opt for the canon 5d - either the mk1 or the mk2. The only reason why I will opt for the mk2 is not for its resolution but for way it handles noise better.<br>

The canon 1.2 L is without any doubt a very good lens to fall in its category. But with todays bodies are able to handle low light very well. I bought my 70-200 canon f2.8 without the IS for that reason. I prefer to increase the iso setting than having a lens with IS. The sigma 50mm f1.4 will do a good job too. I am impressed with the quality of the sigma 24-70 f2.8 on my crop sensor cameras.<br>

For a croped sensor camera the 17-55 f2.8 with IS is a good option to consider. Is only drawback is its price. Will I have to spend nearly the half of the amount I need to save for a canon 5d mk2. Or it is more or less the same price as the old canon 5d. I would opt for the 5d not for a croped sensor lens. The only lens I have for the croped sensor is the 10-22 canon and I know that if I upgrade my bodies to full frame this lens will become useless. (unless I attach it to a 30d).</p>

<p>Yakim , yours is a good idea. So the conclusion is that either I buy a canon 5d mk2 or the canon 17-55 f2.8 with IS. How is it worth it? Are there any pictures of you taken with this lens?</p>

 

<p>hi Steven<br>

Have you had the chance to compare your 5d with the new 5d ?</p>

<p>my budget depends on the lens quality. If it is worth buying I will make some savings. But I would like the best option. Then will consider the budget. i also own a great 30d</p>

<p>lenses<br>

a sigma 24-70 f2.8<br>

canon 70-200 f2.8<br>

canon 50mm f1.8<br>

canon 100mm macro f2.8<br>

canon 10-22mm<br>

and the bad kit lens</p>

<p>Dear all,</p>

<p>I am considering in investing in either a full frame camera body like the canon 5d mk2 or a good lens perhaps the 50mm 1.2 or the 80mm 1.2. I am focusing my work on portraits and weddings.<br>

Do these lenses give the same quality on my canon 40d body?<br>

Which is best solution ?</p>

<p>First of all thanks for your feedback</p>

<p>I also tried with the polariser but it is in vein. What bracket manufacturer do you recommend. I found some on ebay and bought one. The link is this below:</p>
