Flash
Photography
In Association with Amazon.com

DO NOT get too close to your subject or subjects. When shooting photos indoors leave a camera to subject distance of at least four to six feet, so the flash does not overpower the scene and create a picture with subject "washed out."

To minimize the "red eye" effect, turn on all available light. To help create or maintain a mood, you can use regular light bulbs, which casts a yellowish hue over the scene and will retain the "warmth" of the picture.

You can use a flash for outdoor photography, even in bright sunlight. A little "fill-in" flash can help minimize harsh shadows cast by the sun and bring out the highlights (features) of the people you are photographing.
