Hi, anyone have issue taking photo at infant but the flash is overwhelming even after diffusing.

Overwhelming does not sound like an issue with the infant, rather an issue with flash / camera settings. Or are you concerned about possible side effects on the eyes of the child? However irritating a flash might be, it is not harmful in any way. But of course, scaremongers will never agreeHi, anyone have issue taking photo at infant but the flash is overwhelming even after diffusing.
i've been using flash on my kids since day one and they turn out just fine.

Use natural light instead...

I didn't say anything about their eyes leh.
I like the skin tone of babies under natural light, that's all. :bsmilie: ESP when u can see the shadows in their little feet. :bsmilie:
Sorry if my arguments sounds confusing.
I was never comparing natural light vs flash or which is better.
I'm merely stating facts of flash on infants and my disagreement to the scaremongers.
Here's a picture of my twins, taking with strobe when they were 5 months old. Now that they are always restless and active at 2 yrs old, natural light is the best way to go.
