So you're saying if I point my flash at someone they will get red eye? How do I use a flash then? If I don't point it at them, won't the light just be flying away?


yes, but if you point it at something it will probably bounce back.

It is a lot of information at once, it gets easier in time.

:)


I agree. However for me, I prefer natural light, however I don't think flash sucks. I use flash when needed. In the end, if one knows how to use flash correctly....it doesn't suck.

LOL You need to "bounce" the flash off of either the white ceiling or a side wall if your flash has the ability to tilt/swivel so that the light isn't directly into the eyes of your subject be it man or beast. OR if your flash works "off camera" set it up at an angle to your subject. There is a tutorial here on the site regarding off camera flash to view.
