I can barely get the SB 900 Nikon flash to give me the look I like, i.e. gentle fill that does not make it obvious that flash was used. I think the problem for me is that the flash is smarter than I am… it wants (and knows how) to give me a properly exposed capture. What I’ve wound up doing on the Nikon system is to punch in a negative EV in the hope that the flash will “underexpose” and give me what I really want. I realize this is non-responsive to the question but figured I’d answer the first part…”Tell me everything you know about flash…” since it only takes a couple of sentences to do that 😀 Roger knows about flash and I’m sure David does too, maybe they can enlighten us. Meanwhile I’ll continue to use my strobes.
