Really tough to photograph ... moves too fast for no-flash settings, and his body color reflects the flash and washes him out. I had to shade the flash with my hand, take a picture that looked almost black, and then pump up the brightness afterwards in photoshop so you could see him. I'll figure out a better way one of these days ... :)

do you have a sport setting on your camera?? i put my camera on sport with no flash and it really shows their color and helps with them moving

Yup Christian - the profile shot is sport mode - looks washed out. This shot was sport mode with partially obstructed flash. Just his body color I think - sounds like the same issue Roger. How have you been bud?
