Reminds me of a "call the expert" radio phone-in show (LBC in London) some years ago. This particular evening it was a photographer. Guy phones in, says he has invested in new flash kit but results are all black. Expert starts on "is the flash actually going off", and "what is your filmspeed", then asks "what is your subject matter". Reply is that he is using tripod and telephoto lens as well, and taking photographs of the full moon .......
Surprisingly the "expert" just started to explain straightforwardly about flash not being the thing here, and discussed time exposure. It was the co-host "professional" radio presenter who cracked up and couldn't stop laughing.
