No i did not. Never thought. Thanks.
I tried again on Monday and Tuesday. The yellow, pink and orange flowers are fine. For the red i tried metering off the grass, that was better, also -0.3 and -0.7 ev, that was sos so. I tried some off camera wireless fill from the 360, so so, but 1-2 that should PS well.
