[DalsPhotography-Daniela]

what an excellent tutorial !!! Thank you from Uruguay.

[johnf-kelsey]

Didnt know there was so much info involved, thanks for the lesson, guess i'll be reading your posts a lot more than once, wow. Photography is all about light, so my light sauce has always been the sun and in uk this has a mind of its own. A bit late for me now to learn all this but giving it a go, So low light is faster, this has been my biggest eye opener. Guess a key light would help. Costa Rica sounds really great, all the wildlife ive dreamed of, beat wishes Greg,

Superb Greg… been using flash for years and read many a book including specialist Nikon books but never had anyone or any information given in such a clear easy to understand way. Hope your book is just as good… I'm navigating to buy a copy now. Thank you
