I'm having trouble getting my head around the fact that something can be that dark and still work, and how you interpret the histogram for something like that.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-53984897848288811362009-06-19T12:00:50.651+10:002009-06-19T12:00:50.651+10:00Check out today's offering from Michael in Mel...Check out today's offering from Michael in Melbourne ... <br /><br />http://todaymelbourne.blogspot.com/Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-38119617487251764262009-06-19T10:50:57.332+10:002009-06-19T10:50:57.332+10:00Thanks, I did wonder whether I should take the fil...Thanks, I did wonder whether I should take the filter off.

Marco said use a lens hood, which I don't have for that particular lens, was going to get one but the salesman said I wouldn't need it with the UV filter.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-23153545684377669732009-06-19T09:27:43.306+10:002009-06-19T09:27:43.306+10:00Not sure, my camera seemed to be doing the opposit...Not sure, my camera seemed to be doing the opposite of what he was saying and I think I was using the wrong lens for that type of shot, my focus was way too slow and I kept missing the shot. Also in my manual with 2nd curtain (rear)it says the flash fires twice, once at the beginning and once at the end!??? I'm not sure that its a function I'll have a lot of use for, although the fill flash is very useful. Your photos today look a lot darker than I think they would have actually been, it must be the screen or the way blogger puts them up.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-15784471924322009112009-06-19T09:05:28.733+10:002009-06-19T09:05:28.733+10:00Sorry, yes, I should have said "fill flash&qu...Sorry, yes, I should have said "fill flash". Yes, the -2.0 is the flash compensation that he recommended we use as an adjunct to any available natural light. He said we could vary that if necessary but this is as far as my camera will allow.<br /><br />I have so much more to bed down before I focus on whether the flash goes off at the beginning or the end of the shot. However, as with most things, I guess it is a case of use it soon or lose it soon. If you use 1st curtain, the flash freezes the front of the image and the rest of the image is blurred giving emphasis to movement. This needs to be done on a wide aperture.<br /><br />Am I close, Ann?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-58628029923605362462009-06-19T08:26:25.026+10:002009-06-19T08:26:25.026+10:00Fill lighting not flash?
