You can, as Bryan said, get an acrylic screen to soften the flash, or play with the manual settings. I've been playing in photography since I was a young dude of 18, but that was when you needed film, and flash powder, so I'm not sure how these digital cameras are affected by different types of light, but, I'm the proud owner of a new digital camera, so I'll be playing around with it when I get some time. By the way, I noticed you have a Leafs sticker on your car. It should be on the other side, so people will be able to see it when your passing them in the left lane. Oh, nice looking car.

Hey, I'll take any advice.... I mean the thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is getting a good picture where there is a light source (In the example I posted from the overhead flourescent tube lighting) that isn't enough to get a good picture without the flash on automatic settings. IOW what would I have to tweak on the camera to make the most of the available light (assuming that I'm smarter than the camera... which may in fact be a bad assumption :P)

As to putting the Leafs sticker on teh left side... I'm normally in the right lane so they see it when they pass me :rofl:

Thanks.... I do my best to keep it tidy (Though the inside needs to have about ten pounds of dirt & salt removed right now -shudder-) and the car is small enough that even at my slow pace, it only costs me $8 to use a DIY car wash and do the job right :) (add 20 minutes after to dry it properly, another 1/2 hour to wax it afterwards :ph34r: )
