I recently shot a friend's son's birthday party. The problem was there was a reptile show in the front yard in the direct midday sun (no shade available). Without reflectors sitting around that would get in the way, what do you suggest to make the best of the situation? Should I have used a flash unit?

I use my flash for daytime shooting more than night time shooting for this very reason - fill light. It will keep those hard shadows in check. Cheers,
Carlton
