You should be alright, i just used my camera on point and click or no flash - i'm sure a decent photographer would cope better than my efforts !!

For some reason the NEC seems to produce a rather nasty colour cast on any pictures shot in it (had this problem last year too). You can do a reasonable job of fixing it by changing the white balance in an image editor, though I am hoping that my new flash will at least help to sort it out in situ.

Is there any chance someone could do me a massive favour? I've designed a stand for one of our clients, Speed Religion, and I'd like to get some decent shots of it. Was planning to head down with my DSLR on Saturday, but I don't think I can make it now.

Could someone grab some good shots for me? If you're a pro-photographer, I'd be willing to sort you a few ££/pints!

We're up there every day so we'll see what we can get for you as well. We've got our DSLR with us so hopefully some will turn out ok!
