I posted this the other night, just about when The Oscars were starting, silly me. Maybe I can get some traction this time. At any rate, what do you think?

I have been playing around in my basement tabletop "studio" and the other night I broke out the ETTL flash, just to see what would happen. You will see that the first image is OK, but the second is much better--truer to the actual bell in color.

Both images were shot at .8 second, f16, 100 ISO, I used my EOS 6D. Also the bell was set on a pedestal inside a light tent. The lights outside the tent were 2 CFLs at 5500K, 2 LEDs at 5500K, and a light shining through the top. The only difference is the flash set on ETTL on the second, so I do not know what setting it used. It is a Yongnuo EX565.

What I do not understand is why is the second one so much "warmer" than the other. I would have thought the flash would wash out, or over expose, the bell, but it appears that just the opposite happened.

What's up with that?

Thx, olc

I see no one else is responding and I'm sorry but I just don't know. I wish I could help but its outside my expertise.

OOOPPPs for some reason one of the images did not get posted. Here they both are.

Chefneil, have you seen info on the newest UHH forum, "Advice from the Pros" ? You might want to try posting your question and photos there, especially since several of the participants do studio work. Here's the home page:
