I'm new to photography, and I am having a heck of a time learning the keys to good lighting indoors. I was at an anniversary party, and was fooling around with flash, and all it did is wash out my subjects and put way too much contrast between them and the background. Even when the background is only 4 feet away, it will be fairly dark, and the subject will be washed out with white.These were candid shots, so there was no pre-planned lighting. Also, even with the white balance adjusted, the photos seemed very... fluorescenty. It was hard to get any warmth out of them. The photos without flash were great, but with flash, they don't look good at all.
I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. Its a great camera, but the flash seems so harsh and miscolors my subjects so bad. Is there any way I can change any of this?
