I use re-chargeable batteries in my Sigma .. so frustrating that even though the test flash will fire, it won't trigger via the Camera.

For a long time I was thinking it was some crazy setting that I was missing, but reading around the subject it looks like it's to do with the amount of power left in the batteries.

A few questions

- on average how many shots (say in ETTL mode) do you normally get from a full charge?
- am I missing something here - shouldn't the flash unit warn you that you are lower on battery power
- am I barking up the wrong tree and in fact it is something else that's preventing the flash to fire?

cheers,

There were several exhibits/installations, but the most spectacular was "Crown of Light" - Durham Cathedral as a 100m wide projection screen. It was truly awe-inspiring.

Stupidly, I had decided not to take my tripod with me, and had to rely on one or more of balancing on a convenient wall, VR, a very wide aperture (f/1.4) or high ISO (400-1600). I used a Nikon D50, Nikkor 80-300mm VR and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lenses.

Lumiere photo set on flickr

This is the view of Durham Cathedral from the railway station. I balanced the camera on a wall and triggered it using the timer for 25 seconds at f/8. I was slightly nervous of the 30+ foot drop on the other side of the wall...


This is one of the bridges below the cathedral, that was lit up. This time, I hand-held the camera, and braced on a railing. Exposure was one second at f/4.5. Thank goodness for Vibration Reduction lenses!


This "dress" was made of fibre-optic and installed in an unused shop. I composed the shot to get a reflection of the street. 1/20 sec, f/2, ISO800


These were all hand-held at about 1/20th second, f/1.4, ISO1600 - hence the graininess and blur when you zoom in. Best I could do in the circumstances though. If only I'd brought my tripod...




I used an SB400 flash on this one to pick out some of the nearer spectators.
