Do you ever use manual flash? (I realize that is a whole topic of its own…)

I would think Manual mode on the flash would be a difficult challenge since it usually is a “trial and error” process and a wild bird just may not stick around for too many “trials” with a flash going off from a relatively close distance!

Thanks and I’ll keep buying from your link and your used pages.

Sorry Warren, I missed this 🙁

Yes on the -2 on the flash in ETTL mode, and yes I use Manual Flash but not often any more. See the section on Flash Simplified in the CD book, ABP II.

best, artie

ps: Thanks for using the links!

I agree with so many of the other posters. Top notch. Although I have to say I’ve got a similar image of my ex-mother-in-law that might match it. 🙂
