Christine > July 30, 2009 I much prefer to shoot candid shots in natural light and usually wind up doing so. It's rare that I need to use my flash so I'm not extremely confident in my on camera flash skills. I have an SB-600 and since it was heading towards evening I needed to use it for a lot of shots that actually are among my favorites. Not because they are technically good but because, as with the photo above, I loved the expression caught. I would love some honest feedback on my use of flash here and for the other picture I posted. I did not use rear sync or keep the shutter open for longer than the flash lasted (forgot the technical term for it). I honestly didn't have time to think for this one- the moment was there and I went for it. Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback and suggestions. I was asked to shoot a wedding and find myself needing to stretch beyond my comfort zone and work on flash photography so this would help me a great deal. :)

Christine > I took several shots of this bunny sitting in my yard. I wasn't thrilled with any of them but I still made one of them my photo of the day due to lack of enthusiasm for any of the shots taken today. It was in the evening and the light wasn't great. I had to crank up the ISO in order to get a shutter speed fast enough to prevent motion blur (it was over 300). Surprisingly none of the shots were completely sharp so I tried the sharpening unmask filter in Photoshop. Not too happy with the results although they're all better than the original. Did I go to far with the sharpening? Is there a better sharpening tool in PS? Thanks for any advice.

Christine > 3 of 3 - I really, really liked the idea of this shot- focusing on the screen and having the cats behind it. Not sure if it's executed correctly. I'm not really sure how I feel about the final product. Maybe it was just a bad idea to begin with? Shooting something on the other side of a screen that is. Of the 3, the third is my favorite.

Christine > Too bright? Too much contrast?
