Your point about ISO and it's effect on both flash and ambient is very true. It is sort of the crossover ingedient. Thanks for visiting and the valuable comment. Tom Hey Dustin,

Very well said. Your point about ISO and it’s effect on both flash and ambient is very true. It is sort of the crossover ingedient.

"shutter controls your ambient exposure, aperture controls your flash exposure," however, to be more correct. think of it as a scale from ambient to flash... shutter [aperture, ISO] flash shutter completely controls ambient. aperture and ISO both controls flash AND ambient. flash power controls... well, the flash :) And don’t be fooled by the one gotcha — in simple terms… “shutter controls your ambient exposure, aperture controls your flash exposure,” however, to be more correct. think of it as a scale from ambient to flash…

shutter [aperture, ISO] flash

This was shot out back in my neighbor's yard. Because the birds were moving so fast, I took advantage of the Nikon CLS / TTL system. I normally do use manual so I can meter it for portraits and products but these guys were moving too fast for me to dial it in. I let the camera do the thinking. I did set flash exposure to +2.0. +3.0 is the max so there was some room left but not a lot. Thanks for the diagram comment. It was a bit of a take on Dustin Diaz's fancy setup diagrams. He does a great job with his. Thanks for visiting. Hi Mick,

Is the bird your pet? I assume your flashes were set to full power. Very nice diagram by the way. Nice. Is the bird your pet? I assume your flashes were set to full power.
