Hi All, Here's another flash question.
I have an EOS 300 and a 380EX Speedlite, not the best combination for flash photography but its what I have and I have to make the most of it. So when using this combo I usually get shots of people that look like rabbits under a spotlight and I don't like it. Even with a light softener (diffuser?) in front of the flash, the light is too harsh. I read in NK Guy's Flash Photography with EOS guide (http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/ ) that you can fake FEC with this combo by putting the camera on M, measuring and adjusting the exposure, then change the ISO (double it to get -2 FEC) and shoot. This sounds fine if I'm doing 1 shot or if I have time between shots but lets say I'm shooting candids at a party and I want -2 FEC constantly, the whole process will take too much time so I wonder if either (or both) of the following ways will work: 1. In M, double the ISO setting (ISO 100 set to 400) and for each shot adjust exposure at +2. This way the flash is going to fire for ISO 400 whilst the ambient exposure is going to be for ISO 100, the proper one. I can't see a difference between this and the previous method besides I'm altering the order of the steps. 2. In P, double the ISO setting and set EC to +2. Again, I can't tell the difference with the previous method. I both I'm doubling the ISO and setting EC to +2. I understand there's a difference on how the flash works between P and M. Does that comes into account here? Can somebody please throw a light here? with or without compensation :-) Thanks a lot, Carlos ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
