Off camera flash is the way to go pointing down through a diffuser will have similar effect to on camera aimed upward diffusing off ceiling but much greater power as less loss so greater depth can be achieved.
A simple silver/white brolly can cost as little as £25 and can make a real difference.

The Sigma EF500 DG ST has to be something of a bargain at £100. At the time I bought it, the fancier "Super" model was twice the price and I could not justify the extra with the amount of flash photography I do. The EF500 DG Super can now be had for £150 or, put another way, the same sort of money as the new entry level budget model SB-400 from Nikon. It is a very, very nice flash for the money, they do then in a Nikon fit too.
I'd be tempted if I could sell on the ST model, but this is unlikely in the Pentax fit. Ian, do you want to buy a flash?
I'll have a look at brollies, the storage of it is likely to be more of a hindrance than the cost.
