S. Romanowski) 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!! Katie
