[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 332546, member: 12496"] Selling surely was meant to be funny. :) My guess it is a manual flash, and was camera Auto or P mode, and matrix metering, which probably is worst choice for this. All of your pictures have a bright background light at right histogram border, as if that were important. But you cannot meter such as this, and that light is not your subject, and is your least concern. I don't know how to offer suggestions from this point, and hard to say what your best shutter speed and aperture would be for each picture, but it would of course be adjusted to give the result you want. When not right, simply fix it. Same with flash power level, adjusted to give the result you want. It is far from point&shoot - a very different philosophy, of doing what you see the results need. Manual camera mode would allow that, and monitor the flash power too. Short of that, at least start with camera A mode and Center Weighted metering. [/QUOTE]
