Hi guys, can you please give me some basic tips for taking portraits? I have a Nikon D40 with the built-in flash. So far my portraits look harsh because of the flash. I tried using no flash and longer shutter times, but the person always looks blurry since they can't sit perfectly still, so I think a shorter shutter speed is a must. Should I get a different flash, or separate lights, etc? I would like to be able to take indoor portraits, with soft shadows, maybe a little bit dark and moody, if that makes sense. I'm a complete beginner, so any tips or links appreciated!
