Lucy and Boo were in a more then normal play mood yesterday, so i thought this would be a good time to get the K10D out and try some bounce flash, using the recently suggested settings, and hoping to get something close to Christine's examples.
http://web.mac.com/barnyardcam/iWeb/Site/K10D-AF360%20Test.html Again disappointed in my results. Even thought the histogram shows up well, they all look washed out and flat to me. All were in bounce mode except those noted as direct. Number 1229 and the shot of the bush are in direct flash. No matter what i did with the shots of the cats in the bay window, i could not get them lit up well. I used manual mode in all, and the cat shots in the window were exposed for back ground, flash in HS mode, but it still did not throw the kind of fill light i had hoped for. K10D, AF 360, 77Ltd F4, Tv 1/30-1/60 except for cats in window, were Tv is around 1/2000. Any helpful tips would be appreciated. Oh, ambient light is from a southerly bay window, with some sun streams in 1 spot.
