Discussion start here .....
When using M mode , the dc is not able to control the flash intensity ( full blast ) and will overexposed the object easily. Therefore I use a Omni Bounce and tilt the flashlite head to the 60 or 90 degree (almost facing the sky) to light up a bit to the object as well as the environment.
Why use M mode ... when taking insects in low lighting environment , you cannot achieve enuff shutter speed. By using M mode , you can set the desire shutter speed ( like 1/200 sec ).

just wondering, for the pics, do you shoot with the flash straight on or at an angle?
