Fill Flash or using your flash outdoors

The weather decided Albuquerque needs snow in the middle of March so I decided to take the wife over to Imbibe (a local pub) for a Mai Tai. If we can't have sun, we can make believe we're in a sunny place like Oahu. Here I snapped the wife as she was getting in the car.

You can see how the flash filled in what would have been a dark photo and brightened her up.

Here you can see the snow flakes falling (they were really more like snow lumps than flakes.)

And my lovely wife finally got her Mai Tai after putting up with me taking photos the entire trip.

Hello Jim,
Congratulations on your blog. It's not so hard, isn't it?

Now you that you have a showcase, you will actually be using that camera more and more.

Stay motivated. Good shooting!

Thanks Pete. I didn't know anyone was reading my blog.

It's been a pain and fun at the same time so I'm gonna keep plugging away.
