Thanks a lot once again?

How do you make sure that your oranges and reds show up properly? For example, when I take photos of red flowers, they seem to lose depth and appear "flat". If I have an orange object next to a red object (like red and yellow peppers or red and yellow/orange tomatoes), they tend to appear one dimensional and really vibrant. They also tend to look like each other (so an orange tomato looks more red and a red tomato looks more orange). I know it's virtually impossible to troubleshoot because there are so many variables (lighting, my skills, lenses, camera [I use a Canon Rebel XTi]). I'm at my wit's end; not sure what to try. I tried different lighting (natural and indoor), different ISO settings, different everything... Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need examples, I can certainly provide those (in RAW format, if you'd like). Hi Nasim,

Note that there is also flash compensation that you can change on your flash and on your camera.When shooting with flash, lower your ISO to base ISO, if possible. Only increase ISO if flash is not giving you sufficient power (such as when you bounce the flash off the walls and ceilings). Anne, I am sorry for such a late response.

I'm sure you are super busy but just wondering if you can get back to me whenever you can. Thanks!I bought a SB600 flash. I’m trying to experiment with it and wanted to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind sharing.When using flash, do you have to get your exposure compensation to be at O/in the middle or does it matter since the flash will override it anyways?Also, when in low light situations and using flash, what ISO would you recommend shooting at? Lower or higher? Nasim:
