I have a Bonica flash setup that I use with about everything. It has a Bonica flash on a single arm and an Ikelite flash on a duplex arm. Both are light sync'd from the camera flash. I have a Bonica SeaKing2, an MM2 and a Canon AS6, they all work just fine with it.

I knew it, I have a "DUH" slap coming. I post this and I get an message from another source. Yes, I was using AEmode. I was informed I should be using full manual mode with decreased shutter speed, increased fstop, 400 iso and to practice in the back yard to get a good idea of what settings to use. He also mentioned to always use spot metering if on auto. "DUH"

Underexposure, overexposure, maybe I should read my posts before I hit "SEND"! The dark one OK? "DOUBLE DUH" It's been a long week.....no brain left.

That is what was fustrating me, I could see overexposure due to the added flash. Except I was getting VERY DARK pictures. I guess that on AE mode the iso is automatically set at 50-150. But what may be the biggest thing is that I didn't set the metering to spot and the camera was picking up the flash, lowering the ISO and shutter speed. I was trying to correct this through the exposure compensation function with no results. I'm going to take some picture of dead flowers tonight in manual mode and see if I can "brighten" things up. Thanks for the responses.
