The most available light |O|

Well Fred...just sharing, just sharing.Knowledge is nothing if we keep it for ourselves. |O|

I agree completly. <br />I love the efect of shooting in available light and try to stay away from using flash. I am going to get the Sigma EF 500 SUPER DG as it works in wireless mode with my ring flash on my Canon EOS30d. It also takes a large white diffuser to bounce the flash off. <br /> <br />I have left getting a new flash until last as it will be my least used bit of kit.

I to,try to avoid flash. At many public places,they will outright ban you when they see your camera. &quot;No camera...a no camera please&quot; In Milan,I snuck a shot of The Last Supper without flash. Thank you for your insights Artur. :Happy 👏

Without you around what are we to do?? Thankz for POPPING IN ... You are a big help to everyone, Artur 👏

Brett: like you, flash is the least used equipment of my gear. I prefer to carry around my tripods, the mini from Slik and my very old Velbon DGB3. Marshall: I also prefer to shoot in available light. I had a discussion in a forum with a professional photographer sometime ago, about a shot he made inside a castle with flash - I&acute;ve said that even with a difference of 10 f/stops from shadows to highlights, if he measured light correctly and if used a tripod he could have done a much better photograqph without flash,- but ended in a stupid and useless discussion ( Fred remenbers that, I think ). And bro Sed...we are a big help to eachothers. |O|

Has anyone heared of tone mapping or I think HDR? Not sure how it is works but you take multiple shots on a tripod at different exposure settings and then combine them together. <br /> <br />There are some good examples in a church here http://www.flickr.com/photos/millersfoto/ . I have seen it uesd on landscapes but it does not work very well to me.
