Using your camera’s flash is sometimes a matter of personal preference. In an earlier post, I showed how the flash eliminated shadows on the subject’s faces for a more pleasing look. In the top photo, the flash eliminated the shadows but took away from the form and texture of the roses.
In the bottom photo the roses are illuminated by available light only. Note how the roses have a more three-dimensional look.
Other notes: These photos were taken two days before the 2010 Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena at the rose garden at Tournament House – the official home of the Tournament of Roses Association executive offices.
