I have the sigma 10-20 mm lens and it is so big that it puts a shadow on the bottom of my pictures when using the flash. Do I need a different flash or what? Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the reply. It casts a shadow even without the hood. I will look into that flash suggestion. Will the sb-400 be tall enough to solve my problem or should I go bigger/better?
Yeah the only way to avoid shadows at the bottom of your images, is to use an off camera flash at a high angle point downward at a 45 deg angle that will take care of it.
Now if your shooting out doors and your using your on camera flash as a fill flash, here is a trick i figured out that will take care of your problem, shoot the camera upside down that way the shadow will point to the sky which will not reach the sky and there you will not get a shadow..
I do this all the time..
How ever best way to take care of this problem is, Off Camera Flash setup, And using off camera flash will improve your image quality as well..
Hope this helps..

Good idea about shooting upside down though I have never thought of that.
But I have problems shooting standing up straight. I would hate to think about shooting standing on my head. Oz But now that I think about it, I guess it's not a problem for you guys on the lower parts of the earth. You're used to it. Ha!!!
