[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 375380, member: 18251"] Yes, flash gives directional light, but, you cannot precisely estimate the direction of REFLECTED light, casting shadows around... Once the flash has fired, depending on the object's distance, shape and other qualitative/quantitative elements, you'll get a pretty weird mixture (of light) in terms of direction. And if the surroundings are made of glass, water, haze/fog...? But, anyway, a little test would reveal the secret for you - try to manually compensate for as much as +1/2 of F-stop (a half), and see if the exposure is correct... [/QUOTE]
