Come on Queensland lets make some sort of commitment re time and place and have a mini meet on the use of various flash heads, I will bring along some well used Ellinchrom flash heads also metz ct60 and ct45 my lap top and 20-inch screen so we all can see what we are getting. Simple studio setups can be done almost any where. I can also show you how to get water drops on bottles, 2 flash head lighting using the portable metz flash heads and try to answer lots of questions it they are not to technical. I have lots of experence in the studio and on location using flash, so lets set a date..........and numbers.....I know 2 others.... are there any more

We must have a lot of visitors to this site.....31 views but no one wants to make a decision...... I am beginning to think I am wasting my time trying to help people with an offer of help and advice along with a lot of years of professional photography experience..........The offer is still there all you have to do is decide, It can be done on a weekend or over 2 nights, just let me know. What I am offering FREE is 40 years of experience, the use of my equiptment at no cost to anyone, there is nothing in it for me at all
again....... LET ME KNOW IF I AM WAISTING MY TIME WITH AN OFFER OF HELP.......

I'm not a quuenslander, as you know, but I'm one who's bumped the view figures. I'd give this a few days for people to see the post and I'm sure there'll be locals more than happy to avail themselves of your generaous offer. Just bump the post a few times if there's no response. Often a day or two can pas before someone sees a post.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of takers here :)

big pix,

I have witnessed that posts have not been noticed for a number of days, also even weeks. This seems to be a normal occurrance.
People are away, posts get bumped out of site because of the number of new posts that have come in; there are so many trivial reasons.
I've seen this happen.
If I were anywhere close to your town and also had the time, I'd come and check it out.
May I say relax ... ?
(hey you could send the equipment and instructions to Canberra ... )

Regards
CD




:D :) 8) :lol: :wink:

OK, big pix I'm up for it.

We've got our meeting at Lamington NP in just over a week and I'm sure we'll be able to drum up some numbers. I don't think you're being deliberately ignored, as chistiand has said, there are lots of reasons that a post can get 'lost'. I've only just seen this post; I'm not as regular as I used to be with various work committments.

Anyway, your offer is appreciated. I'd be certain that we'll be able to get a good turn up. Are you going to Lamington? If not, I'll make a point of raising your offer.

Cheers
Peter

G'day BP,
Don't feel like calling in to Melbourne to share your experience do you??? I'd love to participate and learn as I'm a real flash dummy, wish I could be up there to join in... I'm sure the members here much appreciate the generous offer of sharing your experience...

Cheers.
