Unlike other shots of the same genre, yours is significantly more subtle. And therefore it just works! AlunFoto wrote: Playing with fill-flash... What say you? In the blog: http://alunfoto.blogspot.com/2008/09/oats.html Direct to (larger) image: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VWBjZjc1fI4/SNjQ4UCZ

I think so. Its sutle, nice colour and good contrast from background. Dave On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 4:43 AM, AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Playing with fill-flash... > What say you? > > In the blog: http://alunfoto.blogspot.com/2008/09/oats.html > Direct to (larger) image: > http://1.bp.bl

Dave, Mike, Jack, Bob S., Ken, Bruce, John S., Ann, Thanks for taking time to comment! The decision to pop the flash in the first place was to mute the background relative to the straw. As some of you remarked, it's not all together unobtrusive still. It is just another one of those situations wh

Well, the fill flash does make itself known. It certainly dims the background a bit - kind of gives a contrast boost to the oats. I think I would like to see just a bit less flash and a slight boost to the background light. Hope you did lots of experiments. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, S

Jostein, I love the lighting of the oats, but find the horizon distracting. The blue of the sky or the tan of the fields would be a better background. The strong three bands behind the oats is pulling my attention away from the oats. Were you trying for something special there? Regards, Bob S. On

Well seen, Jostein. Tiny nits; even though the background is nicely OOF, ideally it could have been even softer. Oat shape is extremely nice, but can't help wishing I could see a little less stem. Jack --- On Thu, 9/25/08, AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED
