I almost always use an external flash and I try to bounce it off the ceiling - it's the only way to get sharp, in focus pictures in dark bars and things like that. Unfortunately my flash is the cheapest external one I could get (a 420EX) and as it's batteries die it has like a 15 second recharge time, which is an eternity and prevents you from taking several shots in a row. One day...

Aw, thanks a lot man. It's funny to realize how agricultural WA and BC can actually be if you drive out past the suburbs a little bit. It looks almost like the prairie, and let me tell you it was hot enough to be too. I've always kind of wanted to live in Seattle or somewhere in Oregon just to make a little change from Vancouver. We'll see where I end up once I finish uni.

A bunch of apartment buildings that were still under construction went up in flames last night. Later on today I'm going to go and see if I can get some shots of the remains but for now here's what my phone was able to get.
