I have been trying to improve my understanding of how to use an external flash. With the weather we have been having, either very snowy or sunny but icy and slippery or rainy, there is not so much chance to photograph out of doors. Many of my photographs taken with flash were disappointing to me, so I thought I should try to find out why and what I can do to improve them. This was taken using the flash to fill Rupert's face, as he was turned from the sun. I was not displeased with it. I bounced the flash and used Gary Fong's diffuser to soften and spread it.

Google doesn't do a good job of translating that, but thank you anyway, +Tatyana Akindinova – Rupert is a lovely boy.
кот-исполин! очень красивый и фактурный.Глаза как чайные розы…
+Heiko Mahr – thanks very much. Of course! I had forgotten what a whiz with flash photography is our Eric. I appreciate the reminder.
Wonderful image +Ellie Kennard
and if you want to learn more about flashing drop very own Eric Raeber a note as he runs a learning community about it. It is awesome..
Our lovely "grandson",super boy!
Thanks Ursula. They do indeed. And I wonder what they are thinking. +Ursula Klepper
Very well done Ellie! They do meditate sometime, don't they, ours is sitting sometimes and staring to the wall, just staring….
They are very special and elegant and you will never feel a warmer little body either, +Shelly Gunderson – their character is almost more like that of a dog. Very involved with everything you do.
Thank you +Janet Patterson – he's just glad he can make his escape when he has had enough. But I am astonished at this patience and how he puts up with having his ears and neck bitten. No harm done, but I am amazed that there are no wounds when I see the enthusiasm with which they play.
Thank you +Sumit Sen
Thanks so much +Tanya Stollznow – my 'big' cat LOL!
+Choudhary Ujjawal Arya – thanks!
Yes Rupee we understand.

Lovely portrait of Rupert +Ellie Kennard
Great light!
He's the picture of purrrfect contentment, +Ellie Kennard and it must be difficult having to keep up with and keep in line, a young pup. Beautiful feel to this too.
Interesting cat, have never seen one up close.
😀 +Dale Atkinson
Rupert…… meow:)))
Thank you +Kevin Reed – I agree, he is.
He's a handsome Rex.
+Jo A. Alderman – Thanks, we think so. It's just a surprise to a lot of people who don't know the breed. A very special boy is our Rupert. 🙂
He's still very sweet looking……
