As long as the cat doesn't move much when you take the shot you're good to go.<BR/><BR/>Hope that makes sense...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8382807.post-1111079917083326942005-03-17T12:18:00.000-05:002005-03-17T12:18:00.000-05:00Unfortuneately, the short answer is there's not a ...Unfortuneately, the short answer is there's not a whole lot you can do.<BR/><BR/>The longer answer is the problem comes from the location of the flash relative to the camera lens. You're getting reflection from the hair as well as all the shadows from the direct flash. Moving the flash a few feet to the side, or angling it to bounce off a flat surface would help. Since it's built into the camera, it's not much of a solution, I know.<BR/><BR/>One quick possible solution would be to try and diffuse the flash somehow. Find some semi-transparent or semi-translucent material to cover the flash with. Preferably if it were curved some to spread out the light more. I'm thinking of something between plastic grocery bag and a zip lock bag. Experiment some. You'll probably have to bump up the intensity of your flash, since it'll be expecting more light than it'll actually be getting. But it's just one idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
