Elaine, I can't say say anything bad about Suncoast Sunflares... You SHOULD have it!!!
My big Nikon has a bracketing setting where it does that automatically.. I just have to read the manual to find where it is.
If I were taking a picture of you standing under a shady tree with full sun just behind you, I know how to set the flash to go off , properly exposing you. But I can't do that with a flower only a few inches away. . . And I would still get the fabric texture in focus in the background.. I'll just keep plugging away at it. I wish I could find my first Phal. Photos that I uploaded to either this site or the one we were on before... Night and day!
