Do you find it as tricky to shoot on white Stucco as I do?

Very tricky, it is highly reflective with a dark brown subject. I underexposed the shots as you can tell by the settings.Do you find it as tricky to shoot on white Stucco as I do?

Mine were over exposed, I posted them that way and then I had to redo/repost them but, too late to remove the first ones. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-314100-1.htmlVery tricky, it is highly reflective with a dark brown subject. I underexposed the shots as you can tell by the settings.

Are you using MANUAL camera and speedlight settings? Your camera's exposure system is easily fooled by areas of white in the field of view. With MANUAL settings, you can check your camera's LCD post photo, then make exposure changes if needed.I underexposed the shots as you can tell by the settings.

It was back in the house and I did not know if I had time to go get it and set it up.

No excuses Craig :| When I spotted mine the other day while walking the dog, I had to get the dog back inside, screw the L-bracket back on my camera, change lenses, and get the flash readjusted :wink: :-) :D :mrgreen:I actually didn't use a flash like I should have.

You're right Flyer I should have been ready in the first place and taken the time to setup properly.No excuses Craig :| When I spotted mine the other day while walking the dog, I had to get the dog back inside, screw the L-bracket back on my camera, change lenses, and get the flash readjusted :wink: :-) :D :mrgreen:

I'm usually ready, but they are usually gone by the time I get back outside anyway:| I was just lucky mine had such a huge mouth full and couldn't be quickly hauled away :wink: At least you got the shot :thumbup:You're right Flyer I should have been ready in the first place and taken the time to setup properly.

I realize you aren't using speedlight in these shots, but since you and Bill are discussing the pitfalls of white stucco. The head on shot is a good example of how to use flash to your advantage in low shots like this I like to aim the speedlight just in front of the subject so you get bounce on the bottom side of the subject. Provides better overall illumination and helps even out the exposure differences required.Very tricky, it is highly reflective with a dark brown subject.

Thank you A-PeeR I'll remember that tid-bit, makes good sense. Do you use a ring flash at all?The head on shot is a good example of how to use a speedlight to your advantage On low shots like this I like to aim the speedlight just in front of the subject so you get bounce on the bottom side of the subject.

You are most welcome. I have used ring flash in the past. Currently, I favor speedlight with a softbox.Thank you A-PeeR I'll remember that tid-bit, makes good sense. Do you use a ring flash at all?
