OK so the POTD topic this week is flash. I have a crappy little flash on my camera, no fancy speedlight or anything like that. So tonight I just practiced a bit with some fill flash off and on in the same situation.
Here are a couple of shots. They are sooc because I don't have time for editing right now. Gotta run to an appointment!
The old man at rest, no flash:

The kid in the pool, out of focus (oops) and no flash:

And this one is completely off topic, but I just like it.

Tonight, I am going to try and make one of them fancy new-fangled DIY flash diffusers I seen on the internets. I bet I can find directions using The Google.

WTG, using the flash and trying something new!
You know...your flash example is a great one, proving you can still get good results via an onboard flash. Coolio!
Way to go catching those naughty googlers. Good use of the flash. I will try to break mine out this week and try to be on topic at least once.
what a great example! Love your journaling.
i think you got great results from an on-board flash. say after me: its not the equipment, its what you do with it! :)
Great examples of using flash and not!
Good job with your flash. I still struggle with mine!
Yep, flash makes all the difference and your pics are proof positive :) LOL on searching the "internets." Back in the day (not all that long ago) when I used the pop up flash I used the translucent top of a deodorant cap as a diffuser. I just cut out a bit to make it fit onto my flash and VOILA. It actually worked pretty well so you might want to try it!
I'm glad you joined POTD; your blog is fun to read. :-) And I'm getting inspired to use my flash more.
Fun title for your post! :-) Good use of the flash - it shows how it can really work to your benefit.
I love available light. I also love Liam in splashing water.
These are great examples! I never thought to do before & afters! LOVE your naughty googler trap titles! ROFL!
That first one is such a different photo with flash. It looks very natural too, you can hardly tell it was used, and it makes the world of difference!
I love your title too btw! Totally LOL funny!
Cheers,
