And natural lighting isnt always the best, sometimes there isnt enough light, so a flash is needed, dont be afraid of the flash ken, flash is your friend. i like to have picture come out still and not blurred from the slower shutter from needing to adjust to lower lighting.

You're right. Sometimes there just nothing you can do about a lack of light. Most of the time though, you can increase chances of a good photo by shooting in bursts, turning on more lights or turning lights up etc. In the few times I've found a flash to be absolutely necessary with live action shots using my 50mm the lighting was border lining uncomfortably dark for hanging out. Theres just something about a flash that rapes quality from a photo. The great quality of an SLR suddenly becomes strongly reminiscent of photos you find on myspace. Pure white light is very rare in real life and since you never see this kind of lighting naturally colors seem thrown off. Diffusing and angling help a bit, but its just not natural light. You nearly have to put a gun to my back to get me to use my flash.
