•  Question Do any Nikonites know what "strobe return light detected" means? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

  See here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/23418568#:~:text=Return%20detected%20means%20that%20the,the%20flash%20to%20be%20illuminated.

  My understanding is that the camera determines the amount of ambient light in prior to flash. Camera then does a nearly imperceptible pre-flash attempting to determine subject reflectivity, etc. and uses this info to modulate the power of the flash itself. Then the camera does the proper flash and compares the amount of light coming through the lens at a period of time that should correspond to the moment of the flash. I don't know what the threshold would be to declare "strobe return light detected" or not--it's probably complicated. Pdanese (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Question Considering the recent discussion of best practices in regard to using flash on birds, is it a potentially mortal danger to the frog to use flash and potentially point out its location to predators? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

• From my personal point of view, it looks like the biggest problem with flash photos is for wild birds, and there are recommendations for that, so I'll be a hard-liner on that subject. In this case I would go with reasoning similar to that on the slug photo. I also like that this photo is taken by a eco-researcher from Universidade Federal do Amazonas. I guess he knows what he's doing. I think that the Wiki-project should encourage the works of local photographers, since that makes the material more diversified and the Wikis more inclusive, plus (bonus) it means less air travels to get the photos.

More generally here on FPC, photos by "outsiders" are often sneered upon as inferior, since those photographers don't know our pixel-peeping rules. They are judged harder and that needs to change. A great composition trumps some technical shortcomings. --Cart (talk) 08:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Thanks. I feel like the level of details I can view at 50% of full size makes this an FP, even if it might or might not be as sharp as an equivalent photo by someone like Charles could be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Certainly not one to be pixel-peeped, but the focus is spot-on and just look at that face! BigDom (talk) 09:05, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
