Cute family, dude.
Honest question, though. Why would you need to use a flash in the daytime? I can't tell a flash was used at all in the picture. Later, QD.
i have been reading about using flash in the daytime and seen some cool results. one of the reason's i seen was a guy taking picture's of his daughter in front of a sun se at the beach and without flash, she would have been really dark so he used flash and it evened out. thanks for the "couldnt tell a flash was used" comment. thats what i was going for.
oh and thanks for the compliment on my family. alot of people say they look like sister's and not mother and daughter lol.
it fills in the shadows... you can get amazing images from back-lit situations with a flash. you can also even out the lighting... (the background is really bright, so if you light your subject well your background will be more visible).
you can tell there was a flash used by the spots in their pupils. (soft box fixes this)
