Hi, I posted a thread a few days ago asking for tips for my new flash unit but unfortunately received no answers. I hope that if I post a more general thread instead of the one I wrote for a specific flash unit I'll get more people involved.
What I'd really like to know is what settings are you people using in these two situations:
1)Flash used as fill (for instance to properly expose a backlit subject or help eliminate shadows on the bird)
2)Flash used as main light. In my case for photography in very dark conditions under forest canopy (rainforest or cloud forest).
The last one seems to be the main problem so far, results are poor and seem very artificial (birds get that horrible "white-eye" reflection effect) even with the flash set at -3 EC.
I tried both using a better beamer and without it, but my subjects have been quite close so far.
What are your settings? Please share.
