Hello everyone :mrgreen: I'm new here.
I've always had an interest in photography but it's always just been a side hobby and I've always had fairly cheap cameras. Well recently I finally had a reason to take pictures (I'm responsible for taking pictures of the foster animals in my Humane Society's system and getting them on our webpage).
So, give me a reason to buy a "real" camera and I jumped at it. I got a Nikon D60 and I love it. I did watch the DVD but for some reason my manual was in Spanish so I don't have a clue what it says lol.
So I'm quite the newbie at the camera and it's settings - if anyone has any suggestions here please walk me through them step by step :blushing:
The problem is, every time I go to take a picture of a kitten they blink because the picture snaps after the flash goes off. So just about every picture turns out with them with their eyes closed :er:
Is there anything I can do besides just use more natural light and turn the flash off? I am using the default, pop-up flash that comes with the camera. I have played around with the camera settings but I don't see anything pertaining to this.
Thanks so much for any help you can give
