I've been playing with my external flash and I'm telling you I'm falling in love with my old enemy. I really like bouncing the flash by pointing the light up or other directions, bouncing the light off of the walls or ceiling. It gives an excellent amount of light without causing an ugly flashy feeling snapshot. No harsh shadows and too white faces or dark and grainy photos for me anymore! I've come out of the dark, lol.
Here's a comparison. Both are SOOC. The only difference is I used my external flash, bouncing it off of the ceiling.
It is important to remember to set your CWB with the flash on or the colors can go wonky.
So if you have been squeamish about using your external flash, I challenge you to try it.

You did a great job with your flash. I have just started playing with mine. I still don't like it but at least I am not missing any shots!

I love my flash! I've been taking photos in total darkness latley. I adjust with the light on, the flip the light off and snap away. I have the lightsphere and that has added so much!
