:-) Thanks. It seems to me that there is more to learn about using a flash properly than there is to using a camera. While a flash can make it easier to get decent shots, because of there being enough light, it makes it harder to get great shots because it's hard to control where that light goes. For those of us that toss rather than keep photos that are merely decent, it's easy to come to the conclusion that using a flash is for tossers. > > On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 3:45 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: >> I know that I shoot a lot more frames per keeper than a lot of people, but >> often my process involves each attempt giving me ideas that inspire the next >> photo, and the next.
