[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 174873, member: 6277"] Straight flash iTTL SB-700 The built in diffuser was in use at the time. Camera Set on P, Thumb wheel used to move up the Aperture for F10 My son got married a while back and the Bride picked the photographer (mistake) Outdoor wedding and I was watching the photographer closely. The first thing I noticed was that she was using a flash and it was pointed straight up. During a break in the action I waled over to her said "You do realize that your flash is pointed straight up don't you?" She said to me "I am using bounce flash. That is the way you are supposed to do it!" Trying not to laugh to hard I looked up and said "What are you bouncing it off of?" She just looked up and walked off. She continued to shoot that way the rest of the evening. Pictures were terrible. Lucky they did not stay married to long so pictures not needed. That is a little different than the wedding recently were the dome was in use. I am thinking the dome was used as more of a bard bulb effect. I did notice the dome she used was a little bigger than the one that came with my SB-700. Next chance I get I am going to try the dome outside in some pretty harsh sunlight, like at high noon.
