why choose Adobe? Stick to sRGB easiest. Go Adobe RGB only if you know what you're doing.

Most people's monitor can't even view Adobe RGB color gamut properly to begin with.

Some browsers don't support ICC color profile either.

I was like you last time, too clever use Adobe RGB. After come back, wonder why all skin tones look like zombie after I upload to the Internet.

That's not to say Adobe RGB isn't good. If you want to max out the colors, have the screen to view it and want to print out with all the colors - it's really great. Prophoto RGB covers even more color gamut.

for starters, just stick to sRGB. I still use sRGB for my professional work. It's not a matter of concern in my deliverables so I'm not bothered.

sRGB is still the best color space for web use if your objective is to provide the best viewing experience for the widest audience.

You photograph in JPG, right? If you are, try converting your Adobe RGB photo to sRGB. Vomit blood.

this one pulls back to the basics - shutter speed, iso, and aperture. nowadays with ETTL/iTTL, flashguns are made for fill flash (and other stuffs as well la ) but we're talking about fill flash here. it seems to me that from wut u wrote, maybe ur cousin is using fast shutter speed, low iso, moderate aperture.

wut u need to do to counter this is - use iso, shutter speed, and aperture accordingly to the ambient lighting, to capture the ambient lighting, and then let the iTTL/ETTL work its magic. it works for me everytime.

and one more thing - u sure onot D90 sensor kenot fight with 7D's? in my personal test, the D90 wins by a hair in noise performance. and the 7D's shadow area noise produces more banding and color noise. sounds like u really havent pushed ur D90 to the limit and ur afraid to bump the iso. dont be. because the D90 imo produces really good images even with high iso's. the D90 loses to the 7D on ergonomics, focusing system, fps, but not on sensor performance. and not to forget - the D90 has got more dynamic range than the 7D. which is a blessing to me

if u really know how to fully utilize the dynamic range, flash, ISO capabilities..seriously, the D90 can produce really great photos.

take ur time and learn ur camera. ur shooting RAW already ma

dont be afraid to use high iso la..haha

up to 6400 oso i have used..yes there's noise..but if u captured the moment, why scare noise? i was like u when i started photography - scared with noise. as i moved on, noise is nothing really. that's why they said, understanding photography is understanding light.

actually with high high ceilings oso the SB series can bounce one..if langit oni cannot bounce. see how high the ceiling, then try first. if can bounce, then bounce. if u try n no effect - its either bounce card or use large apertures and high ISO lor

turn off the Long exposure NR if possible - it'll make ur photos load more slow in camera.

looks like ur the kind of person who's really scared of noise in time u'll get over it. hopefully.

advises on flashgun and noise reduction? - use iTTL on ur sb900. its a super great feature. and use large apertures, shutter speed accordingly. if ur using 35mm then put at 1/50, 1/60 enough edi unless ur freezing moments. so no nid to bump iso kaw2. look at the granma pic u posted just now - got see noise onot? no got la if glance..how many people will see the pic then zoom in 100%? people see pic 5seconds then change other pic lo

some more if posted a pic of a sexy girl, no matter how bad the noise oso people see loooooong time ma it proves that subject matters more
