You REALLY need to get a flash that is not your pop-up.

Two and Four had the flash...the fifth wasn't my brand of flash...too much voltage I'm assuming for this Canon...one and three were "naturally" lit...but yeah...I would love to use off-camera flash...it'll work into my budget at some point in the near-to-distant future...

It looks like you fired it straight at the faucet, could you bounce it instead?

I do have a homemade diffuser and reflector...I could see what I can pull off with those when I get home from work tonight...that should help even things out a little...

I still have lots of practice ahead of me...but I think I'm getting a tad closer...

The shadow on number two is pretty hard...the diffuser would have helped...the ceiling is too high and dark for a bounce to work from there...I only have the pop-up flash at the time...what else would be a good idea for bouncing the light? How should I bounce it to give it a better look?

#1 looks like it was taken on a phone camera, what was your iso on this shot? #5 is the only one i like to be honest.

 

[AgentDrex]

My ISO was 200 I believe...should have went with 400 and a slightly faster shutter speed...I notice some blur at the feet...

Five is a little soft due to the screen window between the lightning and I. When the lightning was going, it lit up some of the screen giving the soft look of this photo...

The two I used flash on were also post-processed...just some PP practice...
