Very pragmatic and your results are fantastic. I need to do this too.No easy answer for you. Once you start Nailing your focus, then you will start nailing you flash. It comes with practice. I continuously check my photos as I go along so I can see the results for my settings on the spot. I learn much more in the field as it happens then viewing the results sitting at the computer. I tend to turn my flash down so I don't wash out the colors and have to many hot spots

Of course! Easier & quicker to adjust f/stop than to adjust flash output. I'll experiment both ways and compare results. There is just soooo much to remember. Thanks!thats what i do,check when shooting,if its bright i go to a smaller aperture or cut down on the flash.tom

I do not agree. If too hot, reduce speedlight to 1/2 or 1/4, easily changed on back of speedlight. I do not recommend an aperture smaller than f/22, and f/16 preferred for resolution. You must consider "small aperture diffraction" affecting your resolution.Easier & quicker to adjust f/stop than to adjust flash output. I'll experiment both ways and compare results.

Thanks Douglass. I did do a comparison of the 2 methods this morning and the adjustment of the flash was a little better than changing the f/stop. I only changed from f/18 that I usually use to f/22. I had read that FAQ some time back and knew not to go to small with the aperture. I'd also noticed on f/stop 22's posts, he only shows going down to f/22 and I had kept that in mind. (Neat name by the way.) On my speedlite I can + or - by .03 and .07 when adjusting between 1/1 and 1/2. I got fair results at 1/1 -.07. And you are right, it is just as easy to adjust the flash as it is to adjust the f/stop (once I learned how). Very windy today, so still got blur, but just tested for the glare.I do not agree.

Thanks Richard! I so understand how you feel. I have only found 2 so far and both were on different rose bushes. It is like Christmas morning as a kid, when you first see those tiny little expressive eyes looking up at you. It will be your "pot of gold", so keep looking.I am :mrgreen: with envy!! Nice shots Susan and while all the rest of you find your jumping spiders to show off, I will be drooling!! :lol:

You'll learn the difference. I turn down the flash as I will usually choose an Aperture to work with for that specific photo. Only time I'm really forced to use a specific aperture is when just not enough light and will open up the f/stop. To much flash just kills your shots, not enough then just to dark, just increase flash to desired look.Of course! Easier & quicker to adjust f/stop than to adjust flash output.
