Nearly Stunning Posted at 7:49 pm on April 10, 2012 Quote: from Lonely Fishes at 10:38 pm on April 10, 2012 Oh, and the best times to take pictures are in the very early morning before the sun is up, but it's light outside, and the same when it's just getting dark.   You'll get the best most natural looking pictures then. Paparazzi have a name for this, actually, though it slips my mind at the moment. "The Hollywood Hour" or something. Basically, sunlight at this time is the most flattering light on anyones appearance--skin included. I have to agree. Driving home when the sun is setting makes my eyes insanely blue and my skin glow. It's wonderful. nzdude Posted at 7:46 pm on April 10, 2012 No flash with some lights.....:3 Luxe Posted at 7:42 pm on April 10, 2012 Quote: from Lonely Fishes at 10:38 pm on April 10, 2012 Oh, and the best times to take pictures are in the very early morning before the sun is up, but it's light outside, and the same when it's just getting dark.   You'll get the best most natural looking pictures then.

But generally I'd say no flash. Washroom lights, pretty white incandescent light bulbs (I think). nyn Posted at 7:36 pm on April 10, 2012 Quote: from elucidation at 12:05 pm on April 11, 2012 No flash with adequate natural lighting, I'd say. word up elucidation Posted at 7:35 pm on April 10, 2012 No flash with adequate natural lighting, I'd say.
