QUESTIONS
1. I've had a Nissin flashgun for a couple of years(which I rarely use), and am still a little confused by the settings on flash and camera. The flash has TTL as well as a few manual power options. I was of the understanding that TTL/through the lens was a mode where the flash would adjust for the settings of the camera. However using it on aperture priority I get very mixed results and usually have to adjust the aperture to suit the flash rather than the other way round. Is this right? I like to take some casual photos of the family on special occasions like christmas, but do not wish to blind them taking multiple shots of the same scene as I fiddle with settings. I know I could just set the camera to an automatic mode like P, however just wanted to find out what you guys tend to do with this set up - for example, I know you have all shot weddings before…
2. I had a go at photographing the moon a while back with some extension tubes. However I found I could not focus - the lenses I used could not focus 'far enough away'. I tried a couple of lenses, a sigma 70-300 and an old manual 50 prime, neither worked. Is this a limitation of the lenses, or something to do with crop sensor cameras?
