I asked various coworkers to take a picture of my wife and me, but nobody could get us in focus. Is using my camera really that hard?

We seriously didn't have a better place to take the ATC group photo.

Also, were you bouncing/diffusing at all? How did you like it?
>> Anonymous !SDPEsPMnww

Yeah, almost all of the shots were bounced. The three here are all bounced, and it works pretty well, as you can see. Metering was E-TTL II in fully auto mode.

This one was not bounced because the brims of the hats cast really strong shadows on their faces.

what kind of college dropout would join the marine in the first place and constantly gets hazed
>> Anonymous !SDPEsPMnww

I've never been hazed. Hazing was big until it got out of hand a few times and put on worldwide news. Now there's a no tolerance policy and Marines who do it are punished pretty severely.

If you think the military is a bad alternative to college, you need to do your homework. I've got job experience as an air traffic controller, and soon I'll have an FAA Control Tower Operator's License, which will put me way ahead of anybody trying to go into ATC straight out of high school or college. Also, when I get out of the military, I'll be able to go to any college in my state full time for free, including an allowance for housing so I can rent an apartment.

tl;dr join the fucking military and reap the benefits

These pictures have "reserve unit" written all over them. Even the officers are pudgy (one bordering on fat) and have the nastiest uniforms I've seen in a long time. lrn2tailor.

What you needed was a reflector card. O just a peice of white paper wrapped with an rubber band or anything to hold it to the back of the flash. Then you could have bounced off the ceiling and the reflector would have filled the front of their faces.

This is my personal favorite.

www.abetterbouncecard.com he shows you how to make one for peanuts.

BTW does anyone know if the 580EX II has a faster flash rate than the 430EX? I would love to have a flash that can get close to the FPS of continuous shooting on my 450D.
>> Anonyfag of Borneo !bHymOqU5YY
>>298883
If you are just using E-TTL and not the Manual mode, the charging time should be sufficient for you not to worry about it.

Besides, 'faster flash rate' ain't the correct term.
>> NotKordox !X5MdOLLFAg
>>298888
What is the right term? I don't want to look like a noob in front of my peers ;)
>> NotKordox !X5MdOLLFAg
Nevermind. Burst rate right?
>> Anonymous
both will have about the same speed, except the 580 can retain the same recycle time even at full power, which is a lot more power than the 430

and the 580 will fire at half charge (not ready light on) so you can still salvage an underexposed shot whereas the 430 will give you a black shot

on a budget, 430 I
serious amateur, 430 II
wannabe pro, 580 I
depressed cheesecake, 580 II
