[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 222795, member: 17556"] As stated already do not light from bottom up. Always light from above and at an angle to subject. Put a layer of tissue over your on-camera flash and try to add some fill flash if needed to bring out some detail of the shadow areas. Or, get two CFL bulbs and two lamp holders, one for the key light and one for fill and adjust them by either diffusing or moving them farther/closer to subject. Constant light will give you instant reading and view of what the shadows will be or whether you are over lit or not. [/QUOTE]
