Default Night shot with flash...

Took a night shot of the Vette ,first without the flash,then with the flash,but I don't see a lot of difference-Maybe I need Mr Bill to chime in and tell me what I'm doing wrong...

Without the Flash:






With the Flash:





I dunno-they look pretty much the same to me...

The flash is not effective at that range. You should move the flash closer, then you'd see a difference.

Yes, They are very close, I see you shot them in normal program mode, What you really need to do is shoot in manual mode with a tripod and try a bunch of different exposure settings.
In my opinion I like the first picture, It had better detail and doesn't have a super hero standing in the frame....lol

After reading the title of your post, I was hoping for a picture of a semi-naked lady taken at night.
