Whoever wrote the article about using a flash didn't state whether or not
they had an adjustable flash head.  If so, the flash burn in the eyes is
easily corrected.  Simply tilt up the head of the flash and use it in a
bounce position.  You may have to open up a half a stop on your camera to
compensate for the bounce.  If your flash head is not adjustable, there are
still ways to diffuse the flash.  You could purchase a diffuser from a camera
store to fit over the flash or you could rubberband a piece of white cloth
over the head and use the flash in this manner.  You would have to experiment
with the flash to determine the amount of stops to compensate for the diffusion,but it would be to your advantage to do this.  Perhaps by using a smaller
size roll of film for this experiment, you could keeps costs down.

Happy shooting!!
