Flash can come in handy when you are taking pictures. However, your picture will never feel as good with natural light. This is because you are trying to get the essence of your subjects and they look the best under natural ambient light.
So, remember, flash is just there as a supporting light source.
Still, this doesn't say that flash is created to spoil the fun of digital photography. There are instances when you need flash to save your picture.
Imagine there is a bright sun in front of you and a unique and nearly distinct butterfly just landed on the table in front of you. And coincidently you got your camera at your hand, before you snap the picture, remember to set the camera flash on so that the butterfly can be properly illuminated.
If not, your butterfly will appear dark and lost its vibrant color. This is because cameras were not built to handle this kind of situation and they seems to give priority to the back light and make your subject dark.
This phenomenon is similar with our eyes where you too can't properly appreciate the object in front of you when the back light is too strong. The object will often turn out to be dark too.
Have fun photographing,
Michael Wong. :-)
