Shadows are caused by your flash going off (but you already
knew that, right)
There are a number of solutions to the problem.
1. Aim your flash to the ceiling to "diffuse" the light. This won't
work on most point-and-shoot digital cameras.
2. Buy a pro quality slave flash unit (which wll be fooled by the
red-eye inhibiting flash and it costs a fortune)
3. Illuminate your subject from both sides using halogen desk lamps,
which is OK for small things like LEGO, but bad for ice-cream....
I use (3) the most, and even fill-in the shadows from the flood lamps
using the flash!!!
Keep snapping, if you are using a digital camera, it's all free!!!

| (...) With the digital we have (Sony Mavica), I have found better results by not using the flash at all. Good ambient lighting and no flash seems to help cut down on the discoloration and glare associated with the flash. Your mileage may vary Barry (26 years ago, 21-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
