[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 264204, member: 14443"] I am a professional wedding photographer. I know flash very well. not relevant to post photos for analysis. What im saying is a fact from my POV. im not the only one who says it. take pictures, post exif, let us see, and well tell you. Wayne,cmon, im not a newcomer to photography. dont mean to sound disrespectful and I find it odd, that you noted yourself as a newbie with all the flash knowledge you have. your post is a bit condescending. and we had this discussion in the past and you got offended that I didnt take what you said as correct. I dont shoot P. I think P shouldnt even be on dslr cameras so it forces people to control their photography. I call P prosumer mode. yes, buissink may like P but I dont care what he does. I care what I do. I shoot A and M and once in a while S with Auto ISO here and there when my shooting situations changes on the fly. I shoot FX cameras. Again, Im not asking for help to analyze the pictures. Im telling you from experience it isnt accurate. this is my opinion. you are entitled to yours as well and I accept it. if you dont see the issue then fine. but when I tell you vertical does not shoot like horizontal its from thousands of pics I shoot at weddings. its not as accurate. the beam is not spread out and balanced and there is clear hot spot which is more directed to the center. maybe because there isnt a bounce card as well. so all these things together add up to a less than ideal output. even the other day when me and my friend were shooting a wedding, it was so evident. on the dance floor ,the bride wanted a picture with 3 friends. he took the shot horizontal, then another girl came (now me me she screamed) and she hugged her so just 2 of them, turned the camera flipped the flash, and ugh, horrible. metering is completely wrong when its vertical. HSS doesnt recognize below and under HSS speeds. it just overexposes. Used it outdoors recently for some outdoor family formals and it would fluctuate back and forth. a few ok and a few OE and I just turned it off and stopped. [/QUOTE]
