Hello -
I am a hobbyist photographer. Have been using my DSLR Nikon D50 for several years now and used it mostly for photos of my kids and sports....but I found out I really love the intricacies of photography.
My question is....I usually try not to use flash at all but when I do I only have/use the in camera flash. I just took 2 identical photos with in camera flash on and aperture of f/8 and one at f/2.8 with a Tamron 28-75 1:2.8 lens. The image with the smaller aperture (f/8) was brighter....why...both had the same shutter speed of 1/60. Does the in camera flash change based on the metering, settings, etc.? I would have expected the smaller aperture to be darker with everything else exactly the same.
This was an indoor picture at night. I took pics in raw and exported to jpg for attachment using PSE12.
Thanks.
