Do I see Palm trees in the distance?
A+ to you on finishing your project.
Palm Trees? Are you kidding me… How did you miss those legs?
Crap. I guess now I need to buy a 580ex II speedlite. I though I was happy with my 430ex, but there’s no video for that one. I’m such a lemming.
Oh! I saw those legs!!!!! 😉
Adrain….i’m with you! I JUST got the 430EX II for Christmas! Michael…….pretty please??????
Most of the stuff from the 580 should be usable to the people with a 430. You will just be shown how much more awesome the 580 is! This could all be a lie and I will be shamed forever with that statement. Granted, Michael might have a deal with Canon to get people to upgrade to the 580… hmmm. JK! :o)
I think the extra $100 for the 580 is worth it, but let me ask….how many of you would be interested in a 580/430 combo DVD? I can add another chapter for the 430ii, that way no one is getting left out.
Hooray! The 580 II is the flash I want to eventually get. I rented one earlier this month and had to just kind of wing it! I had no idea what I was doing, and as you said, the manual wasn’t much help.
So thanks for making this one. You rock, Michael!
My votes in for the extra chapter – that is an excellent idea, I would think about 30% would have gotten the 430 – like me, thinking it was the smartest move – now I’m doubting myself so much. Quick question – is it even possible to fire a 430 using another 430 – I think I’m coming to the sad realization it’s not going to work, I’ve even tried a basic external slave errrrr!
For SURE – add the chapter, in the mean time, I’m looking at upgrading!
Michael, that would be great if you could/would add the extra chapter…. as I said, the 430 was a Christmas gift from hubby so I don’t dare indicate he should have gotten the 580!!!!!
to steal/bastardize a line from the godfather "just when you thought you were out, we pulled you back in". An extra chapter would be great. if nothing else it would probably convince me I need a 580 (when my wife asks, I’m blaming you).
i guess now i need to get a speedlite!!!
It might be a good idea especially if you are using a flash for slave and don’t want to put out the money for 2 580s.
Ok- Ill order a 430 tomorrow, break it down and make sure its included on the DVD. Just remember a 430 can act as a slave, but not a Master Trigger. Its a wonderful little flash, but if you have the $$ get the 580.
Thanks for your willingness to do the extra chapter – and I now know I need to break down and get the 580, thanks for ending my search re 430 trigger/slave, I’ll take some other kind of studio lighting I guess – looks like mostly indoor shots at tomorrows wedding – 70% chance of MORE snow, and a high of minus 12 up here in Canada!
Use the WINDOWS!! 🙂
-12c ah thats almost like spring after the winter we are having:). Glad your making this DVD Michael. I don’t have a speed light yet but I’ll grab the 580exII when I do 🙂
Hi…Michael …. can continuously videotape the t3i for an hour or more ???… in most of the blogs I find that you can only record up to 12 minutes due to internal program of the reflex
