Thanks, Erv. Good idea to bounce the flash off the wall.
In the spirit of the day, I "picked" some roses to send. I am interested in your thoughts about the bouquet shot without and then with flash.
Great discussion on this lens. I am hoping to buy one myself.
I have been reading the forum for a while now, and really respect the knowledge and expertise of the active members. Recently I retired from teaching in the public school system and now have discovered a new passion in photography. I enjoy photographing children and families, and look forward to learning more each day from the informative discussions here. I shoot with a Nikon D700. Thanks to all of you for what you do each day to help others learn and improve their photography skills.
