My first attempt with the
fill flash during the day. This was taken under a tree one bright day, where it was too hard to expose with the bright background.
...Critique away!!
Shutter = 1/320"
F Stop = F/4
ISO = 200
Kit Lens

Beej - it works!
A question tho’ - did you use the inbuilt flash or a SB unit?

Thanks guys.
I also learnt how to cast ugly shadows when using the inbuilt flash and the lens hood. Ruined a lot of shots that way (when taken zoomed out), as it was too hard to notice the shadow on the LCD in daylight, discovered them when i got home and loaded the up on the PC.
...trial and error.

Beej,
This looks great.

Did you have the hood on the right way?
And correctly and securely mounted?
My guess would be tha you didn't; it shouldn't cause these problems ...

I'm pretty sure it was mounted correctly.
When the hood is mounted, the long edges of the hood are top and bottom.
And taking a shot at 18mm allows you too see the shadow created by the low-lying inbuilt flash.

You are right Beej - if shooting at 18mm with the inbuilt flash the hood does interfere and it is recommended to remove when shooting around 18mm

Ok, right, but only at 18mm.
How are you holding the camera? Is a hand perhaps getting in the way?

I think that is an excellent result - well done.

I noticed overseas when taking photos with inbuilt, hood reversed, and at about 18mm I had shadowing on the subject. I put it down to my hand getting in the way at times.
