Its tough Being a teenager

I remember when I was one back home, there were my 2 brothers and me in one bedroom and my 3 sisters in another all crammed in and in the winter we had frost on the inside of the windows

It was too cold to lie on top of the bed in the summer let alone in the winter, but when I tell my daughter about when I was a lad she thinks I'm joking. They've never had it so good springs to mind.

Sorry the purpose of this post is to try shots with my speedlite

No - that is the problem of hitting Submit before checking the spelling

re: Its tough Being a teenager

That is sorted,
..
Poor mite , all by herself with a laptop, Ipod, Sky (HD!) , ect in that tiny room.. must be real hard..
The Photos are well exposed ( quite decent colour) with no glare or shadows but I imagine you could get this with decent indoor lighting too, but lighting seems subdued . so: good result
However if you didn't mention it as test flash shot that is not the first thought to come to mind

Be that as it may , you would not get this with inbuilt flash ..

Thanks Senu for correcting my typo and for your comments.

The lighting in the room is quite decent( ceiling spot lights) so they must help, this speedlite lark is not as easy as I thought it would be

Neil - Maybe it is time for you to write your autobiography "From Featherlite to Speedlite, the Tonkie Story"
