Better Use of Detachable Camera Flashes

Interesting points about the detachable flash.  And you are just starting on your road to blogging mania...I look forward to your future posts.  Keep the tips coming!

Hi Piers--

great point.  We see so many terrible pictures on the MLS, and light is often the problem--either it's too dark and blurry (when the flash is turned off manually), or you have the harsh contrasts and shadows of those direct flash pictures.  I wonder if you can get a detachable flash for the little compact pocket cameras so many of us use?

Anyway, welcome to the Rain!  It would be cool if you could post some pictures to illustrate this (demonstration of bad/good use of flash for interior shots.

If you join some of the photography goups here, you can post it, there, too.  Also, there is a photographers group for more knowledgable company.  ;-)

Welcome Piers!

Very interesting information about the flash. I've done fairly well with my camera, but I need to upgrade. I've got the little compact camera Catarina mentioned. Do you have any recommendations under $650?

Welcome, Piers. Any friend of Pat's is a friend of mine.

I'm not a pro with a detachable flash, but look forward to your additional comments for we non-professionals. Glad Pat has you as a resource in her office.

Hey you!  Happy blogging!

Welcome to active Rain, Piers. 

May I suggest that the easiest way to navigate is with the Group structure.  Posting your content to particular groups puts it in front of people with specific interests - and you will find posts by others that address your interests as well.  There are almost 4.000 groups.  I would recommend you take a look at "Photography" and "Photoshop Elements for Real Estate".  Your comments will be particularly welcome there.  There are others on marketing, branding, etc that may fall in your areas of expertise.
