About flashing your puppies, try to save their eyes by using a little piece of white carton at an angle in front of your on camera flash -- this technique is called bouncing and makes the flash much less aggressive. The idea is to angle the carton such that it makes the light travel up to the ceiling, or wall (depending on the camera angle and the angle of the card). You might also want to set the ISO value a little higher*. That said, if you can make it happen without flash then do it! Those puppies will love you for it and the pictures will be much more pleasant. Try to place them next to a window that'd bring in a good amount of light.
*: the ISO value is the sensors sensitivity to light; the higher it is, the less light needs to hit the sensor to make the same effect but it also add noise to the image. P.S: Don't mean to be mean but how is reading answers to your questions on a mailing list different from reading a manual with all the answers, even to the question you've yet to ask yourself? Have fun with your k10d! It's awesome. Now if I could finally get my battery charger, I'd also be having fun with mine. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jo Lueck Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 4:23 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: New to the group - you will be groaning with frustration soon! <snip> ANY help, bearing in mind I am allergic to manuals would help! </snip> Jo Lueck Boleyn Cane Corso www.canecorso.me.uk www.canecorso.org.uk -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
