I can't stand it when you can tell there's flash. I just want to reduce the shadows a little. Sometimes I go under more than that. So if you're shooting at f5.6, I would set my flash (on auto) to f2.8, to fool it into thinking the lens is open more than it is. Does that make sense? lol Randy - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of vipul patel Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 5:50 AM To: leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] flash exposure technique Hello LUGGERS, Recently I was at the web site of www.kbcamera.com . I was in flash exposure section of techique subset. It is written that if one wants to take picture of potraits or people then one stop should be added to flash gun. My question is as follows: Suppose I take potrait picture with flash gun SF20 and decided to keep camera's aperture(leica M6TTL) at f5.6, then do I open aperture of flash gun to 4.0 or do I reduce it 8.0 prior to taking picture? thank you in advance vipul - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
