    Check out the strobist (David Hobby) and read his lighting 101 write up. That will get you started. Also check out Zack Arias one light DVD set and his website. So far the nikon CLS wireless has worked for me for off camera flash. You'll find out outdoors it won't work as we'll or at all though. After reading lighting 101 you will find out about other options to fire the flash. There is a lot of really good info on these guys websites. You can do a lot with that speedlight you got. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or pm me.

    I'm borrowing a friend's micro four thirds while I'm home for the holidays. The form factor is amazing. These lenses feel like they're not even there. And honestly the IQ so far would be pretty hard to distinguish, at least for me, from my D7100. I'm impressed. Anyone who knocks the smaller sensor really hasn't shot with them. Not too shabby.

    OM-D E-M1 with 17mm and 45mm 1.8s is what I've been playing with tonight. Drove 11 hours today and haven't had a full nights rest in weeks so no photos tonight. Sorry ha

    Goodnight, all.

    My 11 year old brother took a photo of my 21 year old brother tonight.

    Olympus OM-D E-M1, 17mm (34mm equiv.) f/1.8, 1/60sec, ISO 3200

    It's a little grainy but not back for ISO 3200 on a m43 sensor.

    do you guys use auto mode for sports and wildlide or do you use manual mode to compose these fast shots? also with the same category do you guys use burst or try to catch the one shot with one shot? lol. i havent really dug into burst shooting yet and i kinda regret because some of the shots ive taken actually ended missing the moment or ive taken the shot, it looks good in preview but when i upload it to my computer it looks blurry or soft.

    I usually use Aperture Priority for sports and keep my ISO bumped up to keep my shutter speed where it needs to be. For sports I sometimes use burst but usually just try to wait for the moment. I'll keep it on continuous high but, will only shoot one or two frames when I actually pull the trigger. I also use continuous focus for both with fast moving things.

    With moving things you can also turn your focus points up and use the 3d tracking. Sports wise I would probably wait for Tony's reply because he shoots them a lot. That's just how I shoot. I know some photographers shoot burst and just delete the bad shots, like shoot 3 to get the action and one may be in focus.

    The set I shot with the kayakers was shot in all manual though. :D I changed it up on that day. I decided that morning I wanted to go manual and went for it.

    Ben, are you a birder, too, or do you just enjoy taking photos of birds? You've posted a lot of stellar bird shots!
