What a lovely shot, Tom. I love the composition and the colors. You did a
great job with that D10. I can't believe you didn't use a tripod. I've
seen quite a number of beautiful photos recently that have been done with
the D10. I would love to have one of those cameras.

As you said in a subsequent post, it was an Olympus (OM series). If I was specing a
camera for this type of usage it wouldn't be an all manual one. Sailors are using it
and not photographers. A camera with AE would requires less training (we're not

Shady,
What to expect of flashes and digital is not a trivial question at all.
The film-based TTL flash metering happens off the film during exposure, and
some have argued that it will not be possible to meter off a chip in the
same way. If they are right, it might mean that the whole TTL system

According to the test of the MZ-5n in Pop Photo a few years ago, the spot
metering coverage is around 3%. The angle of view will vary with the lens,
of course, but 3% is apparently considered to be spot metering.
Some other brands have 10% area metering, which is definitely partial
metering.
Now CUT IT OUT!
