[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 306997, member: 12496"] I guess I don't quite understand the question, what you are wanting to see? Any specific questions? I really don't think camera model affects it, however those cameras with Commander can use its remote SL mode. For hot shoe flash, you mentioned bounce, so just aim the flash head up, at a near-white ceiling, at maybe not higher than a 12 foot ceiling, 8 or 10 feet ceilings easiest. Normally, pull out the bounce card, at least for live subjects. Use camera mode A or M. Start at ISO 400, f/5 (meaning turn off Auto ISO - unless maybe you have a newer model that will limit ISO to 400 when flash is used). Don't stand too close, 6 or 8 feet. Zoom in all you want. Press shutter button. Here is the trick: If using TTL, then just use camera Flash Compensation as necessary, for +/- changes to existing exposure, to make it be perfect. Flash Compensation is how we control TTL flash. This will be become second nature fast, rather easy. For good bounce flash methods, see [URL]http://neilvn.com/tangents/[/URL] specifically the blue section down lower in right margin called [B]Articles[/B] - specifically those numbered [B]01 - 17[/B] This is not for newbie beginners, it is easy, but it is for those that want to improve their flash pictures (and think about it a slight bit). Some of the best stuff on the web, and his books are good too. With just a slight bit of experience, enough to realize we can actually look at our picture results, and think about it a bit, then we have graduated from newbie beginner. :) I'd mention my own stuff in my sig, but it is more explanation of basics, not really newbie beginner either. :) [/QUOTE]
