Would skysports be a cheaper option but just as reliable? | |

I have a cheap set of pt04's and never really had any problems, the odd time it doesnt fire but that tends to be cause the connections are a bit loose. | |

Only thing I would say, with both triggers, is that the reciever is a crap design. | |

No idea if they're the best, but I've got these: | |

Which ones do you use Andy? I really need some but ive heard good and bad things about the ebay ones. I use off camera flash a lot so i think if im going to get some i may as well get the best ones. | |

I got some poverty spec triggers off ebay and they work perfect every time (so far). | |

I've heard the cheap ones can be a bit temperamental matt. Best off going with some decent pocket wizard ones, not cheap like, which is always the case when it comes to photography as you will probably know! | |

Infra-red or use radio triggers but good ones are expensive | |

How did you get the flash to fire wirelessly? Did you buy a cheap wireless thingy on eBay or what? | |

How did you get it so well lit all round Matt? Does the flash just bounce off the white sheets? | |

Well I did this in a bedroom with really basic stuff and my limited knowledge, | |

Was going to say, we've had a photographer over before to take some pics. She brought her lights over in the back of the car and the pictures came out well... | |

Mattk has done some impressive portrait stuff and IIRC that's just at home | |

quote: I wouldnt say so. We had portrait stuff done in a studio for our end of year displays and they we shit, they had all the lighting and everything. You can produce better with a white sheet, few flashes and a home-made soft box | |

If you want a good portrait you'll need good lighting. ie a studio. :thumbs: | |

You want to go and see someone in a studio if you want 'proper' shots. Most will have props to create an informal background if thats what you're after. I don't really think someone coming to your house would be great as it would take forever to set up decent lights etc. | |

I need my photo taken to go in the magazine thingie for a couple of design shows. Bearing in mind I'm the most un-photogenic person you will ever see, I've decided that it might be a good idea to get a photographer to come and take some pics of me so I can submit a nice picture :) |
