"Why We Use Lights"

Here's an example of why light is good taken just for this thread.

Camera: 5DMk2
Lens: 50L

First pic: f/1.8, ISO 100, 1/80, Aperture Priority mode

Second pic: f/6.3, ISO 100, 1/125, Manual mode using 580EXII

The natural light leaves the left side of my sons face too dark for my tastes. Even with a wide aperture, the first pic just don't do it for me.
 
^ Yep, I use my Nikon SB-400 around the house constantly just for shots like that :D

Some will say it's a useless flash, but I absolutely LOVE the thing. I have 2 SB-600's sitting around that hardly ever get used.
