My objection to flash is not the end product - it's the fact that flash draws attention to the fact that you are taking photos! There is no way you can use a flash without having the people being photographed noticing. "Hey! We're having our photo made with a flash!" Bounce, filters, etc. don't make any difference in invisibility. I want to be invisible. Flash is not invisible. That's my point. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
