I seem to never use flashguns anymore. I have been through times when I have used flash at weddings quite allot, but I seem to have slowly stopped using them. I think having a flash gun is a good idea, but I would advise everyone to learn photography with available light first. Flash can make you lazy. I have just photographed a wedding at Cripps Barn in the cotswolds. The day was overcast with showers and the barn had only a few windows. I could not use bounce flash and never use direct flash from a small on camera flash gun. The wedding had to be reportage - documentary and at first I thought this was going to be a problem. I looked around the room and saw three windows 2mx3m and another window 1mx3m. It was overcast and the direct sun light was being diffused before entering the room through the clear glass windows. I thought to myself "natural softboxes" and decided not to use flash at all that day. The windows gave me great light and the images had the depth I love in an image.......I will be showing you off camera flash that looks like natural light in future posts.
