No doubt. I wasn't criticizing. I recognized that dirt. The desert over there ain't made out of sand, it's powdered clay. AR-15/M-16/M-4 are very intolerant of dirt getting in them. And that's the worst kind of dirt FOR getting in there - all clingy and ready to turn into sticky mud at the

That's a good shot. Looks like you did it right. Your flash exposure is close to ambient because the background is lit. For this type of job I'd shoot with flash as well, unless the lighting was really quite good. I'd do some wide shots without flash. But even at 6400 ISO, you're not going to

This one came out nice! You could try setting slow speed sync on the flash. The camera measures ambient light and goes below 1/60, the flash is more like a fill in flash. A diffusor also helps. Toine On 30 January 2010 07:25, Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net wrote: Hi Everyone: I shot

I can feel your pain. I have shot a few venues kind of like that. They are difficult. I have had some good luck using a bit longer lens - like your 50-135. That seems to let you grab a bit more candid shot since you are not quite so in their face. The flash smooths out a bit more and the
