Just another cat picture

[[JR]]

I wanted to start using the built in flash on my camera because it's lens is painfully slow indoors, and I can't boost the ISO too much without noise creeping in. So I took paper towel and used a makeshift diffuser that took me 5 seconds to make, the time it took to get two sheets of paper towel, fold them and hold them in front of my flash.

This, is what I got. It's got some post processing done to it, but you can see the light from the flash was neatly distributed on her face, and left the background dark as I intended.
