Today's question from Clay D. is, “I often go for walks in the park with my wife. I like to take a camera and a Speedlite, but the light is not great. Is there a way to reduce the harshness of direct flash outdoors? It's just pleasure walks and I've been trying to keep my kit relatively small and manageable.”
