But I love using a flash only when I bounce the light. I've had good results with that. I rarely use the pop-up but also have a double layer of tissue taped over it.

Both shots were ambient light -- the horse was in the arena under spot lighting. Very dramatic but challenging to shoot. You can see I missed the focus but it isn't maddeningly out of focus -- kinda artsy so I can live with it.
