Cats and flash
With the digital cameras I've used over the past few years I had a
problem with my cat's eyes always being closed when I used flash. Of course all of these cameras had the built in flash which was more than adequate for most shooting. One handy aspect of these is the built in sensing. When I look at the flash I see a single flash, but the cat sees two and that is enough for the cat to close his eyes before the flash goes off to take the photo. I have one of the old Vivitar power house 285 flash guns and decided to give it a try on the hot shoe. With this one you do have to manually set the shutter and aperture but it'll give a good exposure the length of a basketball court. Set on reduced power using the settings given for the distance brings sharp images and no closed eyes with the cats. OTOH you will get a blink from the focus light if the camera uses one.
