It looks like the flash is near or on the camera, and directly aimed at the cat.

Try bounce light - much more flattering.


Very nice, Gene …

Wow, Graham!!!! … Matilda looks quite austere in this shot … are you sure that's what you want?

She's about four shades lighter, there, in your Avatar …

OR, is THIS - a different cat, Graham?


Yes,I,m aware she appears under exposed I was after Whatever the set up produced, while mearly observing what the flash and bender produced ,warts and all, there will be off camera bounce and or softbox photos being taken when time and cat allows .

When Matilda ALLOWS - huh, Graham? … er … Right!

So, tell me - how many warts does Matilda have?

Graham - take a look at Gene's Pussy Pics … Bounce seems to work well there - ok?

60 sounds kinda low … is that in feet or meters?

2.4 is the wavelength, the transmitter sends its signals on …

Doesn't tell me anything about the power of the unit.

BTW, Graham - the Guide Number of the original YN-685 is 197' ...

They do, don't they, Graham? … Some of the best pussy pics I've ever seen.

Not to demean your own work, Graham … but, you have to agree - a little on the dark side - right?

However, that said - I should point out - the Nikon D7100 - is standing you in GREAT stead - is it not?

You need train Matilda better, Graham …

Explain to her - Time Waits for NO man, nor CAT. YOU are the master. Don't let her forget that!
