Dick, that does sound like you may be to close. I have found that the T32 can
be a bit much at close distances. You might try using
something to bounce the flash instead. For close-up shots with the T32 I use an
umbrella either to bounce the light. A very large
piece of white card stock also may work. If you have a T20 you might try it as
the lower output seems to allow it to work better at
close distances.
