Hi guys. I finally did some playing around with my 550EX and 10D. I know shooting with ambient and using flash fill is a piece of cake with these systems, but I was wondering about when light is low and you use flash for the main light. What does ETTL do for us then. It turns out it needs your help in many situations to compensate. So I saved some tests and put them up on a page: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/html/flash.html
Anyway FEL rocks! I never really remember to use it but after finding out what happened when I used the flash as the main light, I decided I had to learn more about it. And FEC, which I have in camera, now with a backlit LCD, allows me to on the fly to manually tweak all my shooting. The trouble is knowing how much to tweak. This is sort of a follow up to my 'curves' testing, regarding maximizing the quality of digital images by getting your histogram fully expanded to the right. But not quite all the way to the right. :-) Comments please, things are slow, let's talk about EOS flash and all those special functions we might not all have used yet. -- Need a brighter headlight the safe way?
