Not to be angry, cranky or rude, but I think that anyone who suggests that fill or flash "Speaks of the lack of the photographer's ability to see light........" is a comment that is just plain wrong. I have a friend who is expert in using fill flash, and I guarantee you can't tell he has used the fill. Fill flash has long been suggested, and I would hazard a guess that if you learn to use it correctly, you will use it often. I think a good photographer will know when and when not to use additional light. RM
