Did that. Not seeing anything.

That does it! We're starting a club!

Weird, even in Scott's quote?

I even tried IE -- nothing. Red X.

Cool! Another new member!

That does it, TD. You've got to dump Smuggy.

He quoted it??

Then 200 is your synch speed. You can even "underexpose" once you've set it at that and rely on the flash to be your light source. That way, if there is any ugliness in the background, it's minimized and just your subjects are lit up. Make sense?

Synch speed? That is......?? I was underexposing... purely accidental mind you because I had taken this photo earlier in the morning....

Oh, you know what?! That photo is hidden in smuggy! D'OH!

How about this?

I had a thought for "TD's lights are on, but nobody's home" yesterday."

I think he tendency when just starting with the flash is to try and "force" a good shutter speed through the use of ISO. But when you use the flash (using M on the camera), just set your shutter speed to the flash sync speed (1/250 on your camera, I believe) then adjust from there. Does that make sense?

Here's a recent example of that technique:

Another snowflake in a blizzard shot? Nothing showing for me.

Looks like Jennifer confirmed: 1/200 -- the earlier models were 1/160...

And Jen, keep it on TTL.

TTL.... Um... Ok will do! (Not that I have a CLUE as to what that means but I'll use that mode from now on!)

I don't typically use that feature, but this couple wanted to limit their choices and not get overwhelmed.

Muuuuuuuuuch better!

And very nice shot, too.

Ok, I'm winging it here...someone (Scott) will correct me, I'm sure.

But sync speed is the maximum speed your shutter can move. When your flash fires at the same speed, you'll get full flash. Otherwise you'll end up with black bars or it won't even fire because you are exceeding the maximum capability of the shutter.

TTL = Through the Lens... Easiest way for me to explain it is to link to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.or​g …Through-the-lens_metering

Can see it now.... but have forgotten the lesson that was suppose to go with it...

Pretty photo!

Thanks Alyssa! Never mind the power line that goes through it... I get great sunrises out my front door.... although... the trees/powerlines interupt the view far too much!
