[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 242731, member: 12198"] southwestsam I was slightly overwhelmed learning my new camera and the foreign photography language. I took a photography course and when the class was for learning flash I thought "well I won't need that" but when I saw the difference it makes using an external flash especially with bouncing I realized I was so wrong!! I got an sb-700 and it really makes an amazing difference. Yes another learning curve but with playing and practicing it really is great. Even if adjusting in camera flash and using it correctly it can't compare to the external flash. However, using in camera is still better than using nothing. Things to remember white ceilings are your friends so bounce that flash (use white card if needed to direct better), and brighter the main light (sun usually) the brighter your flash should be and the darker the lighting the lower the flash. Another thing to look at for low light is a 35mm or 50mm F1.8... [/QUOTE]
