    Mission accomplished Thomas. To my eye there is no hint you used a flash at all . Nice detail and soft colors.

    Very nice, Thomas, I cannot discern flash either.

    One of the things I finally figured out last weekend, was to shoot flash in manual mode with a high shutter speed - 1/250 - This allows the background to go very dark and solves one of the challenges of outdoor macro in natural light shooting that I seem to have - cluttered and distracting backgrounds.

    For example, this shot of a skipper, was shot immediately adjacent to white planked barn siding that created a white, lined background that was not satisfying. By using flash with a high shutter speed in manual mode and ETTL, I was able to capture this

    Thanks for looking everyone. PF, I too have been shooting manual with ettl, usually ISO 100, f/11, 1/100-1/250. I am now trying out ISO 200, f/11 at 1/100 which will provide some natural background light. I think it is good to use both techniques depending on what kind of background you are up against.
