Eaten alive by its own kind

megaweb.. dun mind if i ask you a Q...

i have no diffuser for my flash... used it to take macro... so I increase the shuttle speed till the exposure seems alright...
does it decrease the details of the image i capture?? i think it does right??..

I dun think it will decrease the details of the image. Using a diffuser is to provide natural lighting effect (just like sunlight) onto the object. If you dun use , you will see the hash effect ..
