[QUOTE="nidding, post: 528460, member: 17555"] I'm sure you know him already, but I can only recommend Neil van Niekerk's blog [url=http://neilvn.com/tangents/]Tangents - photography by Neil van Niekerk[/url]. There's a couple of videos with him from B&H (for instance [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mivhtzg7P4s[/url]), which has really helped me using flash. I am pretty far from being an expert, but with some practice I'm now able to guess the exposure most of the time (at least within a manageable margin) and most of the time I think it looks fairly natural. As an example (I don't hope you mind) here is a very quick shot I took of my daughters' hamster. So I bounced the flash off of a wall to the left and just put my hand in between the flash and the animal to block direct light. I think it gives a very nice and neutral effect.
