Cool! I just messaged you on FB.



Yep, I just ordered a YN-04 Mk.II set for my m4/3 system.

took this on my travels to Sri Lanka!

Sabesh, I am sorry I just couldn't resist it

Hmm .. this guy looks familiar.
Sorry .. this has nothing to do with Graffiti Alley.

Thanks! I'll look into those. I haven't really looked into cheaper alternatives yet. I'm really started to get spoiled with TTL though.

So I was looking at these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YN-04-II-Wireless-Flash-Trigger-3-Receivers-w-PC-Port_W0QQitemZ320462487133QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Flash_Accessories?hash=item4a9d0d7e5d

The questions I have is:

How does the transmitter work? (Cause my D90 doesn't have a PC Port)

How reliable is it without line of sight? Because If I have to have line of sight, then I might as well keep using Nikon CLS, at least that does TTL.

Transmitter goes on your camera's hotshoe.

I have the older version and it is very reliable with/without line of sight.
But I would recommend against the one you linked because it uses those nasty, expensive, hard to find cr2 batteries and it runs at 433hz instead of 2.4ghz.

These are the ones I use but Canon version.

LOL, I look 10 years older and Indiana Jones-ish I like it! May I use this as a profile picture or an avatar? Thx.



Those are the ones I ordered. I can let you know in a couple of days. Cheers.

Sure Sabesh, sorry I put a decade of years on your face Now you look like an average travel shot from a photographer who came from Exotic country, minus the graffiti of course

Bart I also have 2 receivers and 1 transmitter YN-602

Yes, the weathered face .. years of hard work in harsh conditions etc

Quick! everyone hide, the cops are coming!

^^ Dude, that's an awesome shot! Is that natural lighting on side of the walls at the bottom?

I think yes, since I didn't have anything artificial with me, maybe BaRTiMuS used his flashes at the time I pressed the button, but I doubt it

I think I'll order the YN-602's the fact that they use 2.4ghz is a big plus. Because thats a frequency I can relate to (802.11 and home phones). Thanks for your tips guys!

Great photo Dimitri! If my flashes had anything to do with it i'll take the credit lol, but I strongly doubt it. When that car was coming through I was busy swallowing condoms full of cocaine ( I hope that joke isnt too harsh for you guys lol im pretty sarcastic).

Hey you just got into the right camp, I mean just take a look what we did in the critique corner Some people on the forum might not get it though, so beware

LOL. Too funny.

wow.. nice pictures... I didnt even know that there is such an alley in downtown...

any chance for a comeback in the near future?

I was thinking of making another visit in May. Or, you could hook up with "SuzieSue", who wants to go as well. Cheers.

Heres a few shots of the alley around Keele station that we were talking about during our walk:

It's the first alley north and parallel to Bloor walking east from Keele station. I don't think it's as long as the queen street alley but its worth checking out.

Keele is the station on the east side of High Park. Going to Keele, checking out the graffiti, then walking to the park and taking photos of the cherry blossoms etc this Sunday would probably be a good idea. Let me know if you guys are interested I'll set up an ad-hoc.

Bart,

I'm definitely interested! Sounds like fun.

Thanks,

Sabesh.

It's a very short alley you might consider combining it with Highpark Cherry Blossoms.

I wonder how my favourite Zooks girl is doing.

If you can make the ad hoc on Saturday, I'll come for sure.

Alright, cherry blossoms are supposed to bloom on Sunday, weather is supposed to be good on Sunday. I set it up for Sunday at 4pm, that should give us enough time to go through the alley, go to the park, and be there for sunset.

If there is more interest in doing it on Saturday, I can move it if need be. Just leave a comment on in the thread.

Thx Ryan! Bart: I'm good for either day!

sunday is the color challange day and I am already signed-up for it

You are always welcomed to join me on Saturday although I'm not sure yet whether I want to go early in the morning(~8 am) to avoid the crowd or later(~4pm) for better light conditions

Looks like the weather wont be the greatest on Saturday. I'm going to keep the adhoc for Sunday.

Yea, looks like you're right. I'm gonna try my luck and go on Friday instead. Have fun on Sunday
