Ready to Post — Photo Guide | Shooting with Flash on a Compact Camera

You know this look — those party photos that look stolen from a 2000s red carpet, that raw direct flash that freezes the moment exactly as it is. This guide teaches you how to get it on purpose: gear, settings, techniques for indoors, outdoors and at night, focusing, the mistakes to avoid, plus checklists and exercises. By the end, you won't be "trying out" the flash and hoping. You'll know. Personal use. Resale or redistribution of the guide is not permitted.
