A little while back I enrolled in a mini course where for 3 weeks you were sent a new secret every day about photography from David Peterson at http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com He also promotes a book which you can either purchase on line as an e-copy or a printed version at http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/bookc/?0
I thought I would also pass these tips onto fellow photographers for them to also benefit from. Hope this info helps somebody else too!
Digital Photography Secret 14 -- Don't Rely On Flash
by David Peterson
In previous tips, we've discussed using your flash. There are occasions, however, where using a flash ruins the mood of the event you are photographing.
Why? A flash tends to create harsh subjects and will ruin any natural mood.
So, rather than using the flash whenever your camera tells you to, use available light whenever possible. In a dark situation, it's often better to open the shutter for longer to let in more light, or turn on existing lights to illuminate the room than to use the flash.
In daytime and when your subject is inside and near a window, have them face the light and position the camera between the window and your subject. This will allow the sunlight to light your image fully.
Next time : Getting a better image in difficult shooting situations.
