Quote: so you suggest getting an external flash for shots like these? I guess i gotta learn how to use the flash because the on-camera flash for the D40 always lights up the subject and it always looks all weird and washed out. I guess the subject just always looks overexposed. that's why i always seem to try and stay away using the flash because i don't quite understand how to use it. I just bump up the ISO....haha.

any tips?
I would never recommend using the pop-up flash. That thing is a joke. Pick up a Nikon SB600 or whatever you Nikonians use and some sort of diffuser (I'd recommend the LumiQuest Promax System). Direct flash is usually never a good idea, so you can use this to help spread the light.

Trust me. A good flash unit is essential to your bag if you're serious about photography. Simply bouncing flash can do wonders. It's also useful for fill flash.
