Playing with my new gizmo
Jed got me an external flash for my camera for Christmas. I feel a little stressed about toting around $1200 worth of equipment just to take a picture, but I love the different results you can get. I played with it just a little this past weekend. What I need to figure out is when to use what. Here is an example.
On the left is the external flash without the diffuser pointed straight at Meredith and Tyler (my sister and brother). On the right is the external flash pointed straight up at the ceiling. I can't remember if I used the diffuser or not, however. These are the things I need to pay attention to.
I took a few shots again today with it pointed up to the ceiling. The effect, to me, is a lot less 'flashy' but it comes in handy in my house because we live in a cave, more or less.

I got an external flash for Xmas tooooooo!!! I love it! I don't use the diffuser, but I angle it at the ceiling mostly. My dad uses his diffuser almost all the time and points it up as well!! Don't you love it?? I *HATED* the pop up flash...
