West Park - September 2009

[vmlopes]

Had a chance return to West Park this week, mainly to try some new pocketwizard radio triggers for my dslr but took the film leica along..

So a bit of a mixed bag of film and digital but hopefully some new shots or different takes on some popular bits.........

Ok the good thing about the Pocket Wizards is that they work on ETTL so the flash sorts its own power out, you can dial in some compensation through the flash settings on the camera aslo, but I normally set the depth of field I want in this case f/6.3 then play with the shutter speed for the effect your after, I wanted a pretty dark shadowy look so settled on a shutter speed of 1/13sec, set it at two stops under exposed and tweak from there and you wont be far out.

The ETTL really works well, the Cactus triggers etc. or any others from ebay are good but you have to manually set the flash power, these you just shoot and the camera will take care of the exposure

They are indeed floor buffers, not far from the hoover room............look a little harder and you will find them
