Try raising your ISO higher. I’m not fond of the flash either….and I definitely find that if you raise it to 800 or even 1200 (although that’s a bit dodgy) it really helps. Also, think about putting lights on in the background…that helps too! I do all this with a little point and shoot….so with a swanky SLR it should be easier.

One thing to remember is the longer exposure makes it much harder to keep the photo sharp, unless you have a tripod. I’m still playing around with this same issue. One thing I’ve discovered is there’s usually a “fill flash” mode, which is a less intense flash. Also make sure you have a wide depth of field. And turn on every light in the room to have multiple sources of light…

I’ve just gotten a new SLR and I’m really excited about it but also trepidatious. At any rate, the main thing I see that fixes your colors is your white balance, so I’d just open up the manual, start mucking with that, and see what happens!

Did you maybe try googling about it? I have used google so damn much lately I swear I wouldn’t know what to do with out it! With all the stuff going on here, I have to research alot of stuff ya know. That is my best guess on the shutter speeds and lighting issues, took photography in high school and learned about it but yah that was……..over 10 years ago LOL. That all fell out of my brain a long time ago……Maybe you should go back to school and do photography stuff for a bit, you are always catching great pictures.

Love the jumping Jack. No advice for you on the flash, but I have a NEW TOY, and I'll have to figure that out soon. I feel the same way about the flash. Kats last blog post..That's Some Funny Sh*!
