Default Taking Pictures Up Close With Flash

I just wanted to share a quick tip with everyone, this may be common knowledge, but I couldn't find info for it when I looked prior to figuring it out. When using my digital camera for taking up close pictures, using a flash, I was experiencing bad reflection from polished aluminum parts and stainless parts etc. Also my camera seemed to have focus problems related to this. The simple fix was using a little scotch tape and plain white paper, I taped a little piece of plain white paper over the flash, problem sloved. Most, if not all digital cameras perform better if the flash is used, the shutter speed is faster, preventing blurrs, so if the light from the flash is filtered a little, you don't get the bad effects from the excess light, but you still get the fast shutter speed preventing a blurry picture. Hope this might help some people out
