I TOTALLY agree! And this is why there are so many "pros" floating

places like Facebook who boast the following:

Translated to meaning - "I am a mum who bought myself a camera and
can take
ok photos and add a vignette or two in PS Elements. Have no idea
how to use
flash, and can't afford to buy the stuff anyways, and can't afford
a studio
either".
I have a real bee in my bonnet about this new "breed", don't get me
started!

Well, there are those of us who know how to use a strobe, can get
quite good results with one and still loathe the things.
I'm one of those.
I've got a nice little collection of speedlights and strobes and will
use them if absolutely necessary, but if I can get the shot without
them I will.
I tend to agree for the most part. But there are times when I can "get
a shot" without a strobe but realize I can get a better shot by adding
some flash. For example, when shooting kids on the playground with
high light or backlight, a little flash fill and high-speed synch
plusses the photography considerably. Yes, reflectors would be just as
good or better, but have you ever tried to keep up with a pack of
playing kids while holding a reflector?
I'm very fond of strobes both in the studio and on location for what
they can bring to my photography.
