Yes it's the built in flash.  I forget what RTF stands for.  I'm on an 
anti-inflammatory which is destroying my brain, and I've helped it along with a 
little bourbon.

These pills are quite strong.  I saw a blackbird on the back lawn the other day 
and for a moment I wondered why he wasn't wearing shoes.  The people at work 
were in tears with laughter after hearing that...

Thankfully I only have three days left, then I won't have any excuses :)

I very rarely use flash.  I have to be desperate.  Having said that, I was 
using f/2.8 lenses but just couldn't push a fast enough shutter speed even at 
800ISO.  I wasn't shooting wide open though as the depth of field is way too 
narrow.

Yesterdays lesson: don't wear a baseball cap while using the RTF as the peak 
will push the flash forward by just enough to deactivate it.

Cheers,
Dave
