    Ta Phrom Temple

    1000 tourists? damn you got a good clean shot for 1000 tourists. thats quite the catch. when I have a very contrasty scene, I use active D lighting to get a wider dynamic range. or you can shoot raw and bring back shadows and do highlight recovery but something like this.

    the nikon flashes are great. it feels special in the hand. it doesnt feel like a 3rd party alien product. but thats not enough for me to pay that premium. the 3rd party flashes are of high level today.
