<p>Bulb does indeed work with the IR remote control on a D90. Just to make sure: you must be in M-mode.</p>

<p>First, check if no flash exposure compensation was dialed in.</p>

<p>Another way to make a flash overexpose is to have manual settings used instead of TTL, at 1/1 power for example. This could also happen with the flash in commander mode, while keeping the onboard in manual at high power setting.</p>

<p>This weekend we went for some fall colours and had a blast.<br>

<p>I hope you all had a great Nikon Wednesday which is now over by almost 24 hours here in Spain... Nice work all!</p>

<p>So here goes my contribution. Shot on a trip with our local photographers group. Nikon D90 with a Tammy 17-50 @ f/8, 1/400, ISO 200.</p>

<p>I ran a crop through <a href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/">WhatTheFont</a>, and it seems to be "Bickham Script Pro". HTH.</p>

<p>I joined a local photography group that takes the members each month to a different location. This time we went to a museum with a permit to fire at will (no flash allowed though).<br /> <a title="DSC_6793.jpg por Girona_Flashman, en Flickr" href=" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5005360537_cd40cab359_z.jpg" alt="DSC_6793.jpg" width="425" height="640" /></a></p>

<p>IMO we have too few info about your workflow for troubleshooting.</p>

<p>Do you do some postprocessing in LR or PS, or do you print Jpgs straight out of the camera? Do you set a custom white balance? If you print straight out of the camera, it doesn't matter if your screen is calibrated, it would only reproduce a picture differently, but still print the same. It can also be a colour space issue. Some programs might not recognize an AdobeRGB tag (if that's what your camera is set to), and print like everything in the world is sRGB.</p>

<p>Still too much variables here, I'm afraid. On the other hand, purple is a very hard colour to shoot, so you might have just found the magic trick without knowing it :-)</p>

<p>It was a loooong time ago I didn't really go out and just shoot, but last weekend I could. And I found this dead tree next to an almost empty lake.</p>

Nikon D90 - f/16 - 1/60 - ISO 100.</p>

<p>With this setup you would normally make a silhouette, a totally black contour of your subject with no detail at all. Probably the light bounced off of something in the room which got you a little bit of detail (and colour) back. </p>

<p>To have more control over the detail, bring a reflector closer in at the opposite side of your light, or use a fill flash. Actually I would have started lighting the face first, and then add the backlight for effect.</p>

<p>It's actually in the comment: an exposure of over two minutes.</p>
