[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 380825, member: 12257"] Curious,since you seem so hung up on using a flash... Since J-See is using LED lighting from below to get various colors into the smoke, how do you think a flash is going to effect that? Wouldn't that LESSEN the effect of the colored LEDs, thus destroying his sense of what the intended capture is? Wouldn't that "whitewash" blast of light deaden the nice oranges and reds and blues? I think J-See understands why you're suggesting flash. Heck, I'm just a backwards redneck from Oklahoma, and after the multiple statements of "use flash, use flash, use flash", even I understand why you're suggesting flash. Well, at least I understand that you think it's the only way... Some painters use acrylics, some use oil paints, some even used "childish" watercolors. All paintings are works of art though, and have the potential to be "MORE". In the same way, some photographers, use flash, some don't, some crank the ISO. When done well, especially in light of the technology available today, nobody can tell the difference unless it's intended. Heck, many of the cameras today can shoot higher ISO with little to ZERO noise already when the shot is properly exposed. An artist, in his minds eye, knows what he's after, and given time, he'll usually get it to come out in an amazing way. Sometimes, ya just gotta let a dead horse run away so someone else can beat it later. [/QUOTE]
