Terry--
where do you live man
WMU 82--Flesherton, Ontario.
The Feeder is within the 20 feet distance as recommended for the camera flash--but you would be right about not have something to bounce the flash off.
As behind the feeder it's all open fields.
I'm just hoping that other guys using the same camera would assist in providing their 'camera settings' so I can do the same on mine and see if the picture quality improves.
