Photos with the best lighting tend to have the light source to the side. You'll want to make sure that they light source
isn't too harsh -- otherwise you'll get shadows on one side of your subject. If possible, go for two light sources, one on
either side of your subject. That way, the lighting will be even and you'll be able to see the subject clearly.
If you just can't seem get enough light on your own, a flash is a great way to add some, but you'll need to make sure
you're using it correctly. Get familiar with your camera's owner's manual.
You shouldn't rely on a flash to light your scene for you. Instead, use your flash to fill out the light in a scene,
eliminating shadows. For example, if you wanted to take a picture of something by a bright window, you'd likely only
get a silhouette, since all the light would be coming in from the window behind your subject. But, by using your flash
to fill in the scene, you'll illuminate the details on the front of your subject, too.
You may also want to use different flash setting for different situations. Some cameras have a red-eye reducing flash
setting that flashes one light before the photograph is taken, and one while the photograph is being taken. That helps
reduce the red eye effect you'll see in a lot of photos.
