I have a mid 2011 27in  iMac and I am wanting to get a external hard drive for it. I have one firewire port and two thunderbolt ports. I want to use the thunderbolt ports if possible. I am using...

I am in need of your help here. I am using the flex TT5 with the power MC2 installed in the top of my Einstein 640 and I have spoken with the people at LPA who make these units and even with their...

I have been using the CCPP and now have a couple of profiles that I don't want to keep and I can't figure out how to delete them out of Lightroom. I call X-rite and was instructed since the pro...

Just had a question about C stands. I was using a traditional stand out side with a small softbox and had stand weighted down And one small wind blew in and my strobe went over and is now off for...

Thanks for your replays. I will check out  the info on their site. Liked  that sentence about us being the beta testers who pay the camera company's. Funny stuff.

Good answer. The whole living through the gear thing thinking the next gizmo will fix your problem, man I can relate to that. I have been wanting to try the beauty dish and I will give PCB a call...

Thanks, What dish do you have the white one or silver one? Also how far are you setting it back from your subject when you are using it. Thanks again

That  is a good question about the center puck that I would also like to know myself. I wanted to know as I and looking at the same dish how far do you place dish away from your subjects when you...

Sorry just saw Dish as main light

What were you using on the Einsteins? Beauty dishes or something else. Nice shot by the way. Have you tried one Einstein and one dish for the same shot of you two together? Would be interesting to...

Thanks, Just took a quick look at the Kacey dishes. They do look much better made then the PB dishes do. Have  you used this beauty dish with the Einstein yourself?

Hello all.  I now have the  Einstein 640 and wow what a great strobe. I have been looking at there white 22 in beauty dish for the Einstein and wanted to know what users think of it. Also if you...

Thanks everybody for your answers. And thanks for sharing the shots with me they are very good. Nice lighting for  on camera flash. We're you using a bracket to lift the speedlite off camera?

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply also.  Wanted to ask you if you lock the shutter speed in AV mode when you do weddings and are you using auto ISO at all. Thanks.

So do you put flash in corner of room using it in ETTLmode and bounce flash off ceiling near you're subjects? Thanks.

I called Canon about a shutter replacement on my 7D about a year ago and I am also a CPS member and with my discount it was if I remember correctly $305.00.  You are correct in what said that you...

Thanks for all of your replies. I see your point about correcting the under exposure. You are right about pulling down a slight over exposed image rather than trying to bring one up. What about...

Good idea about the underexposure in P mode. You don't use the auto ISO do you? I will give this a try also. We pay enough for these cameras so let them do some of the work when needed. I will just...

Thanks for your reply. I have today off so I will give this a try indoors in out. Tried AV mode and locked the shutter between 60-200 of a second so I could set aperture where I want it but did not...

I just want to know from you wedding shooters out there what is your primary shooting mode for capturing images quickly when your subjects are on the move. I normally shoot in Manuel mode but when...
