The set I purchased has a wireless flash trigger to mount on the hot shoe & 4 transceivers. I'm not sure I'll need it, but it sounds like the way to go as it will fire the strobes whenever I shoot. I'm pretty new to these wireless units, but for under $100 bucks even if I don't need it that's a good price instead of a Pocket Wizard !

It should work fine. I recently got a set of three RF-603s. I already had a Yongnuo WR-159 wireless remote trigger. I set the three 603s up with two off camera flashes and one on the camera hot shoe. I then use the 159 to fire the shutter and vuola, they all fire perfectly right out of the box.

Thanks, I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how they set-up now, and then practice, practice and then some more

:D

This is great news as I just bought a set of the RF-603s (4) and the hot-shoe mount trigger, they should arrive in a wk. or so. I'm very excited to try these in my small basement studio I'm setting up, not much room and am tired of long PC cords & optical slaves. I shoot a D90 and I hope I get good results with these. I read a lot of good reviews (UHH included) before I bought. One question, my set said it comes with a RF-602 trigger, would this be a problem? From what I read it shouldn't be. Maybe a member has had some experience with this set-up? Thanks, y'all

Light Meters

EV (NOT to be confused with exposure compensation)... (show quote)

Thank you Danilo for a very simple explanation EV. I do believe a light meter has it's place, studio, spot metering into shadows,etc. I also think they really have a place in Flash/studio work that a camera meter can't compare with. So a good Meter with Flash functions belongs in your bag.http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/compose_reply.jsp?topicnum=84529&postnum=1425533#

Update to "Nikon and I went swimming"

Rice rarely works URBAN MYTH

Silica gell large bags

I took a kayak trip down the Colo. River 3 yrs. ago. Had my D80 in a dry bag well sealed (& cell phone). Needless to say things went south from there. On my 3rd dunking, the current forced open the dry bag and filled it up with my D80 inside (hypothermia had started to set in by this time). :( The hair dryer method didn't work at the motel & I didn't try the rice, just setting it in the sun and hoping for the best. The cell came alive with rice later (worked for my son's phone & I-Pod too). The camera & lens I sold on e-bay as water damaged and got about 1/2 of the funds needed to get a refurbished D90. Lesson learned-Waterproof Bag & at 57 I can still swim well with a kayak in 1 hand & a paddle in the other. Had a great trip with my brother & son- got all the photos off the sd card. Will take a larger kayak next trip.

Step-down or step-up rings

Thanks, I just picked a camera out to start, I like the F3. Those are both real good ideas, I'll have to try the wire tie, I have had to shatter more then 1 filter.

Step-down or step-up rings

Filter wrenches can be a hassle, different size rings and not having the right size wrench is frustrating. I've found that a circular rubber kitchen jar opener is very effective. I just joined U.H. and this is my 1st post. I hope this helps any shooters.
