One of my biggest peeves is to see someone using a camera flash unnecessarily.
For example.
So you're sitting there on your couch eating chips and having a tasty brew on Super Bowl Sunday, generally enjoying life. Kick off time comes around and what do you see popping off one by one throughout the crowd? Flash bulbs, hundreds of flash bulbs. It's almost become a sort of cliche. I mean, you expect to see those blubs at the start of game time, right? Well the silly truth is that those flashes are doing absolutely nothing for the image itself. The stadiums are usually so well lit that having a flash is pointless, and what's more is that if the light conditions were low enough to warrant a flash, there is no way in h-e-double hockey sticks that the tiny flash on most people's cameras would even reach the subject to make an impact.
Now, this is not to say that camera flash doesn't have it's uses. But please, consider turning it off from time to time. Natural lighting can be a wonderful thing.
