This is completely and totally false! Using a flash the right way takes a totally different discipline then shooting with out a flash. When I started to use a flash, all my images looked like crap, but once I started to understand what and how to use a flash, I started creating some really cool images that would have been impossible other wise. I love existing light photography, but I also love flash photography. The two are about as different and controversial as to crop or print full frame:) Sam >>> (that was another robert) I use flash less these days but it is useful. What is difficult is making flash and non-flash blend into each other, so to speak, so neither stands out in the context of a series of snaps. I don't know if it's even possible. As a lover of irrational rules, I'm sometimes tempted to impose a no flash rule myself, but I'm not _that_ unrealistic! rob. BTW, Guy, it's nice to see your "Ho!" signoff again, you haven't been using it for a while.
