My First Post here!

Well, I am glad to have stumbled upon this forum. Great info here it seems. I wanted to share a shot that I like. We were in Puerto Vallarta a while back and I captured this boy scowling. No editing was done.

I have many questions these days. Especially about exposure. It seems my shots are either overexposed or underso when using the flash. (SB600)

As seen here:

I look forward to any insight here. I am just a hobyist really but enjoy greatly photography.

Welcome. Ignore the typical forum-based wittiness. The people in the second shot seem exposed enough, slightly on the dark side... but you're losing the background. Your aperture was fine, but your shutter speed was a little too fast to capture the ambient light.

I'm not big on "capture" though ...may as well voice my opinion while this turns into an informal poll ;-)

Hah.... Had not noticed. Not me though, my cousin. True.

Ok. No more Capture. I have never used that word before and do not know where it came from. Thanks for the replies.
