I'm only just learning the basics of photography but this photo made me smile so thought I'd post it (it's our new puppy, Max)

Correct, I am saying "smaller aperture" meaning a smaller opening. I don't have the money right now to buy a flash gun, so I will continue to do my best with available light. Thanks for the tips!

- No Flash necessary, you could use a reflector. $50, or you can make one yourself from fibreboard and aluminum foil. It will reduce the contrast between her face and highlights.

For $50, he could get a cheap flash that'll work for fill- but then so will the built-in one.

Arrival in Slovenia was accompanied with thunder...

You got some really nice light in Slovenia! That's one thing I love about the country. The ever-mercurial weather makes for some interesting skies and lots of good light. I hope you enjoyed your stay!
