  • No wonder she writes books for dummies..LOL!

  • These are HORRIBLE tips...

  • Weak, she could have used that bright light shining through the trees as a backlight to her hair... instead she took her to the boring dark area.

  • LOL... I love how using unfiltered pop-up flash outdoors is portrayed as a cure-all for making bad photos great. The area where she was photographing was way too dark for fill flash... fill flash should blend subtly into your subject, not overpower it with ugly white light...some of the highlights even look a little blown out...

  • @MsJoelea I agree,,, i just think that without the falsh it looks even more pro then with it :P

  • It looks so much better without the flash.... :/

  • @adrianmignogna Yes I have learned a lot in the 2 months I have studied about photography. I now realize how bad the pop up flash is for outdoor shootings in daylight. Thank you very much :)

  • @THEMAGICMAN28 Nope. You can use a Flash for outdoorshootings, but you need a good one (not the popup flash). And there's another thing, she's does it wrong...First: You have to shoot in M, Second: Change the TTL on the Flash for darken the background. You can get epic images like that! Try it!

  • @MasterSergeF18 I know right!! lol this is really for dummies...
