Default Re: First Time With Metz Flash

Interesting. Looks like my set of first workthrough shots with the Metz as well. You have to test the limits and boundaries.

For the sunset shot, off the top of my head and an initial first shot, I'd have put the Metz about 6-8 feet away from the subject and clipped it off wirelessly at about f/4 in Auto mode and dragged the shutter for the ambient, but I don't know what your ISO was. I'd have set the shutter at 1/15 and f/8 or so at ISO 400-640 for the first stab if I had to guesstimate a first shot.

The last one looks great!

All flash units, like all cameras, have their little quirks you have to fiddle with to understand how the camera is going to react just like you have to figure out how they are going to work together.
