niallrbroome Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Good work - can't see the join. Just a bit of distortion to the left (last tree). Don;t know if the PS merge has different methods of merging that might reduce this?? (Cylindrical, rectilinear, etc)> Starting to think I might struggle with just a single image from now.... yeh i do all my panos in this way... take a look here (my website i have all but forgotten about) images on the 2nd line 1st image, 3rd line 3rd image and 6th line 2 image are all between 3 & 4 shots all merged using PS. Does all that i need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINSET Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Been messing about with my flash whilst I'm waiting on all my macro bits to arrive from HK Bought a clip on diffuser from eBay for $4.19 shipped And compared it with the flash-mounted diffuser and the flash 'naked' Flash and camera settings same for all three shots, naked flash close up doesn't light bottom of the frame (all uncropped) so well, lens was at full zoom and as far away as to focus, 16-18" Comparisons; Standard flash Built-in flash diffuser eBay diffuser And finally, ceiling bounce; Edited November 1, 2012 by TWINSET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINSET Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Also had a play with an old diffuser and the pop-up flash Bare flash Diffused Had to mod the hotshoe mount though, to stop it from activating the flash override switches in the hotshoe Cut the plastic away inside the L shaped line Hotshoe switch Edited November 1, 2012 by TWINSET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 well Fedex has turned out top trumps. had the pano head delivered about 10 mins ago, looks the the head unit will accept, standard sized tripod/camera screw fitting( i hope), just have to grab a powertank and some cables to run the camera software pc link. unit takes 8x AA cells or a 12v supply so a tank is the better option lol 4.0kg weight limit on the head to is not bad at all, my 1000mm scope and 350d mounted weigh in at under 3kg should be up and running over the weekend will try get a few setup snaps but will be from the mobile cam not the 350D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What lens is it? I've been using the 18-55mm for the past week I been in London and my 55-250 and nifty fifty has not even seen the day of light! If I were to upgrade one lens it would be the this one well Fedex has turned out top trumps. had the pano head delivered about 10 mins ago, looks the the head unit will accept, standard sized tripod/camera screw fitting( i hope), just have to grab a powertank and some cables to run the camera software pc link. unit takes 8x AA cells or a 12v supply so a tank is the better option lol 4.0kg weight limit on the head to is not bad at all, my 1000mm scope and 350d mounted weigh in at under 3kg should be up and running over the weekend will try get a few setup snaps but will be from the mobile cam not the 350D. Excellent news buddy! I'd be leaving an online review to warn others. As for a power tank you want to get the maplins car battery charger thingy (sorry I don't know the proper name on stupid iPad at the mo so can't grab a link to it either but I got it for my telescope and me and dtokez took it out for an all nighter star session and it lasted the whole night with the azgoto mount and was only down to about 75% by the morning, I'm really impressed with it and only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting44 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi rc4 I like your long exposure pic (1st one), I tried to get a long exposure of a few of the locks along the Thames but I had no stoppers and I have not made up anything to use my welding glass, so with the aperture set to 32 ISo 100 the longest exposure I could get was 1/8th and could not get any of the water to go like that smooth creamy look lol did you use any stoppers rc4? Or was it just a very dark spot under tree cover that allowed you to get a nice long exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ting didn't use any stoppers although I should of really It was however a very dull day and i was under tree cover so not all bad. For a first attempt I thought they were OK but any tips would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 just have to get a good fused power lead to go from the powertank to the head unit. this is the full setup without the canon hooked up. hopeful this setup will produce the big giga panoramas and some astro stuff to.
