So I have been trying to take portraits of my friends, but they all complain that the flash is too bright. What would you guys suggest I do about this? I tried just shooting 800. Too grany!
thanks |

Are you using external or on camera flash? Assuming that you are using on camera you can soften with something covering the flash. Typing paper, tissue, etc.

Post some shots. Is the flash simple too bright for their eyes or the pictures are overexposed?

| My pictures look fine. But my subject is complaining that it is too bright. I tried both with onboard and the sb 600. I get more complaints with the sb600 |

the SB-600 pointed directly at people will practically burn out their retinas. you need to bouce it off the ceiling or use some kind of diffuser.
