Hi all,

I have just bought a Nikon D3000 and a Jessops 360AFDN flashgun. I am photographing a large piece of fabric 140cm x 120cm, the fabric is stapled in several places to get rid of any creases to a board that I constructed. I first of all took some shots out my back garden with the sun behind me. I then brought the subject (Fabric stapled to a board) in doors, I took some shots of the subject with the flashgun attached. Both in the garden and indoors I used the auto mode of the camera to take these shots as anything other than that is over my head.

As our good sunny weather is very limited I really need to get the photography right indoors. So far I have tried to photograph the subject with the flashgun pointed in different angles and all I seem to get is too much white or flash in one area I found with the flashgun pointing directly onto the ceiling that is the better of the pictures.

Could anyone tell me how and what setting on my Nikon D3000 I would need to apply in order to get a crisp, sharp and exact colour photo of the subject indoors?
