[QUOTE="fender66, post: 254295, member: 2990"] Will....this is an AWESOME post! Thanks for taking the time to share your new learnings. I will add something else about the flash problem/issues that you've already mentioned. If your flash is too powerful....you can take a "clean" white Kleenex, or white tissue paper and layer that over the flash. Not only will it reduce the amount of "flash" intensity, but it will defuse the light also making it softer. Use different amount of layers to achieve the desired result. Sometimes it only takes one layer...other times, it takes two or three layers. Also, if you have problems with the shadows from your flash....zoom in a little more and move the camera away just a bit more. Still having problems....you can take a white poster board or similar material and hold it at an angle above and in front of the camera so that the flash bounces off the board and into the area of your subject being photographed. If the white board doesn't give you enough light reflection....use aluminum foil. If you crumple up the aluminum and then flatten it out again...the wrinkles will defuse the light some too. Experiment with different angles for different amounts of light. This is referred to as bouncing the flash. [/QUOTE]
