[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 222631, member: 12496"] That must be an opinion that I complicate the details too much. :) OK, here are Level 1 instructions about how to do flash: 1. Turn on camera 2. Turn on flash, set it to TTL 3. Press shutter button. Possibly works OK. But what do we do when it doesn't work well enough? Give up flash? :) There are things to know, which while not rocket science, they certainly do help. As to macro, it is easier (lights can be close and large, relatively). Here is an example, which is not macro, but the field of view is only about 12 inches wide: [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/flashbasics3.html"]Four Flash Photography Basics we must know - Soft Light[/URL] [/QUOTE]
