Only too happy to share. I take it you mean in the second lot of pics I posted?

Settings for the last two pics in post 39. Lens is just the standard 18-55 AF/IS that came with the camera.
Full manual mode, shutter speed @1/250 sec, F-stop @ f/11 and ISO @ 200.
The festae shot is my new favorite. The original makes a great wallpaper.

Thank you, once I'm able to get around (knee surgery yet again today) I'm going to try those settings. I'm assuming (usually a bad idea) that you had your lens on manual as well?

I can't remember, are you shooting with an "affordable" dslr or a mark xx? Considering you said a kit lens I'm guessing it is a non rich boy camera.

haha...yeah, a non rich boy camera. I got the Canon 450D with the twin lens kit. 18-55mm and 55-250mm AF/IS lenses. I had the AF and IS active while shooting.

I hope your surgery went well and you have a speedy recovery.

Thank you. Which flash and trigger did you go with? I have the 430EX II but I didn't get a Canon trigger, I went with a Cactus trigger. It's not nearly as nice of a trigger as a Canon since it loses all of the functions but it only cost $40.

Thanks Rob. Hopefully they get better still.
