However, properly used, flash is very a powerful creative tool. If you haven't learned to use flash properly, then I would say you have no idea what you're missing. (Note: Putting tupperware on your flash does not count as learning to use flash properly.) Check out these shots to see what's possible:

If you're considering learning flash, I've got great news. It's actually not that difficult to learn, though to be honest, it's one of those easy-to-learn, hard-to-master things. Here's a TTL Flash Tutorial to get you started. If you complete the tutorial, you'll have enough knowledge to pull off any of the shots above and improve upon them.
