It looks a bit warm in the second shot but if this is just how you prefer your shots to look that's fine! You could try fixing a correction gel to the flash itself, rather than using a filter. You could cut it to size and actually glue it to the pop up flash.

Have you tried using the Flash white balance? I wonder if you can set the Vanessa to automatically go to Flash white balance whenever the pop up flash is used.

In a similar vein I posted this a while back (8-16mm)

No. 1. It's the incongruity between the giant face and the unbothered woman which makes the shot.

Or in other words, a format which is square

Agree it looks better that way!

Hope you enjoy your new kit, Gary! Hope to see even more great shots from you in the future.

This has happened twice to me, the first time was a big showdown where neither I or the neighbour backed down, and the second time it resolved itself into an amicable chat despite an embarrassing initial display of childish passive aggression on my part ;P

I guess people are sometimes genuinely twitchy about crime in their neighbourhood and sometimes it's better to respect that and explain politely what you are up to, although absolutely not back down and desist taking photos.

Here's my cliche: A child laughing, caught in an unselfconscious moment of joy.

I've seen millions of shots like that... so it must be a cliche. Right?

Great to see the feedback and the humour being taken in exactly the right way.

Personally, I'm still (almost) at the point where nothing is a cliché. Still a newbie, really. I've only ever taken a few milky water shots, so it's new to me. If I ever get a chance to take a photo of Durdle Door (which is unlikely) then I'll take one, as I, personally, have never taken one before, though 6 trillion (approx.) other people have.

But, like smeggy so eloquently said, only the outstanding images stand out, when so many similar shots have been taken and presented.

So, QC, carry on taking milky water shots if you want to (I will!) because practice is good and, when, one day, that striking opportunity rears in front of you, you'll be able to do it justice. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway!!
This is great, I totally agree!
