Location Task 3 - On Camera Flash

Task 1
Using a GN of 32.
Flash at full power.
In hindsight this one is a little underexposed, but based on the GN this should have been correctly exposed. Possibly I was a little further than 2m away...

ISO100 250th @ f16

 Flash set to 1/4 power.
The next two are much better exposed than the first one. I'm guessing this is because more natural light was entering the camera with the wider aperture.
ISO100 250th @ f8

ISO400 250th @ f16

I fiddled around with different backgrounds for this task, and while the powerlines kind of annoy me, this was the best I could do in my backyard with the sunlight coming from behind the subject.

Task 2

Direct flash.
ISO100 250th @ f22
Flash bounced off white wall.
ISO100 250th @ f11
 Flash bounced off white ceiling.
ISO100 250th @ f11
Flash bounced off coloured wall.
Whoa...
ISO100 250th @ f8
In the series above I think it's safe to say that direct flash doesn't work in this setting at all. I prefer the flash bounced off the wall, rather than off the ceiling.
And the coloured wall is just weird.....
