At what time of day?

Do you know how to use strobed lighting (flash) on, or off the camera?

I would have to say no to this

Not sure what time of day but I am figuring maybe around 10 am or 5pm. No I do not know how to us strobed lighting. It is more for practice for me then them. I would like to do my best though. I had taken photos for one of my friends with her brothers and I have a shadow on there faces so apparently something is off I feel coloring might be off also.
