FLASH SHADOWS

by Adrienne Lubbe

Using the built-in flash on your camera is convenient for close up photography,

but the temptation to go too close to the subject is always there.

In the above photo, because the camera is too close to the subject it is

casting a shadow in the lower section of the photo.

The exact same photo where the camera was further away from the subject but

and I zoomed in to the subject.

This avoids the shadow cast by the camera.
