As I keep stating in my shows quite often: The only real rule out there is that there's no rules. So please don't take everything I say absolutely literally. There are of course situations where you can only get the picture with the flash, and yes, outside there are some good situations that work well with flash, especially in back-light situations. So I hope you could still get at least something out of the tips given on this show. Cheers, Chris Stan,

But I didn't understand the tip not to use flash. I use it all the time. Here is an example of a picture that would have been difficult, if not impossible to take as successfully in the available light: http://robins.smugmug.com/gallery/304707/1/12106435/Large I would have phrased the tip as "Avoid using the built-in flash on compact cameras." A corollary tip would have been "When selecting a comera, always choose one that accepts an external flash and learn the basics of flash exposure and bounce flash techniques." An alternative might have been: "Often a picture will be more pleasing or more dramatic or more memorable, if conditions permit taking the picture in availabe light rather than using a flash." But that has a corollary also: "Even outdoors, proper use of a flash can dramatically improve a picture by eliminating harsh shadows or color cast." This is a useful set of tips.
