Out of my comfort zone part 2

We hit the botanical gardens today. My MIL is here and with such lovely weather we figured why not. Since the area is gorgeous and the family were amenable to letting me play with my camera I tried to again set some different shots up. My goals were to experiment using the flash. I was trying out my 75-300mm lens today so that I wasn't in the face of my kids trying to get the shots and trying to get more natural looking photos. I was happy with quite a few of these again today. I tried the fill flash and used the A mode again.

this last photo I SOOOOOO over exposed it but this was about the best I could recover it. The B&W hid a few of the bad contrast/colour probs but since this is the only one I have of the two of them together it will have to suffice. I aim to try and play with it a bit more later!
