With a few rules and things to watch for, flash photography can enhance almost any everyday photography subject. A little confidence can bring out what is desired, in the gong - shine was the motivation without shadow or noticeable evidence of flash to the untrained eye. I never thought yesterday using direct, undiffused flash straight at the subject.
Take 1 used totally diffused light just like an overcast day and severely limited any shine whereas Take 2 is similar to a bright sunny day with lots of shine but with potential of deep shadows.
The two photos can be seen side-by-side below for easy comparison.
