I especially like reading the insights in your conversations with other street bloggers. <br />Re: flash, if you own a Caninkon, this little flash by Fuji is both small AND powerful; you can't trigger with it or anything like that, but it lays down flat which takes much of the cumbersome out of not bringing flash to events: <br />http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-EF-20-Shoe-Mount-Flash/dp/B004MME6A2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377117810&sr=8-2&keywords=fuji+flash<br />I have bigger flashes for more serious work, but for parties, or whenever I have to carry one in a pinch, this one fits in the pocket and is more than powerful enough for any reasonable occasion.

By the way, if I haven't said so already, I dig your blog.

On the street I still natural light exclusively, but I've found that using flash at events -- in certain situations -- can really take photos to another level. The reason, I've come to realise, has to do with post rendering. In my personal experience, when dealing with indoor shadows in particular, if they're not going to come out there's nothing you can really do about it. By have a nice soft fill handy, there's so much more that can be done later, especially in RAW. Anyway, that's my drop of trade secret for the day. Keep on keeping on! <br />Simbarashe<br />http://lordashbury.comSimbarashehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495342748761612216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063905574527550226.post-31869049774318415282013-08-20T06:41:01.696-07:002013-08-20T06:41:01.696-07:00Thanks, Jacqui, Chaucee, and beautifulmonday! and ...Thanks, Jacqui, Chaucee, and beautifulmonday! and in truth, Chaucee, I wouldn't know what to do at a party these days if I weren't documenting it.
