Hay guys, I have been playing with the above for a few months now, and have been getting reasonable results in natural light without flash. Its when I start needing flash that I am running into problems.

Whatever setup I use (Marco ring flash, on board flash or SB200, mounted on the hot shoe or using off camera iTTL flash cable) the images are completely blown out, or show horrible flash reflections in anything vaguely shiny.

The Tokina fits the Nikon ok, but auto focus doesn't work and I have recently noticed the in camera metering doesn't work either.

The D60 is iTTL, will the lack of working in camera metering effect the iTTL wizardry, causing the images to be blown out?

If not any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
 
No but tried various positions, and bouncing off things... You thinking a bit of tissue over the flash?
 
Yes i think you'll need some type of diffuser probably something a bit more efficient than tissue especially with the ring flash, i've used bits of cut up milk bottle, sanded perspex etc etc - and try shooting fully manual, and varying the flash power. do you have any example shots ?
