When you start combining flash light with ambient light, you’ll find that it can sometimes be quite tricky. Especially when you’re photographing outdoors during the day. There is often far too much light, and you have to make extra effort to get the photo you have in mind.

So don’t make it too difficult for yourself, and take your first steps in combining ambient light and flash light indoors.
