My flash photos have strong shadows that I find unattractive. Whats wrong?
With the flash unit mounted directly on the camera and flashing directly toward your subject, such shadows are difficult if not impossible to avoid. With a flash extension cord, use you flash off-camera and to one side, bounce the flash from a wall or the ceiling, or use a soft-light accessory that fits over your flash head. The shadows are reduced and your photos will have greater dimensionality to them. In addition the numbers of photos with Red Eye will decrease if not disappear.
