I have taken a few photos with the camera vertical, as I have a dedicated flash unit. The shadows on that are harsh. How can I minimize these showdows or make them look like they don't appear?
I have attached a photo I have taken like this. I have an EOS 300v and a dedicated Ex 420Ex Flash unit. Any idea let us know, and make it simple - I know I should go out and buy studio lights but I don't have that sort of money right now. So a cheap and alternative way to minimise shadows.

Without spending any money for a flash bracket/connecting cord, or studio lights and stands:
(a) don't pose your subjects so close to a wall or backdrop.
(b) use the bounce flash feature of the 420EX.

Aravinda - The suggestions Jon gave you are good ones, but in addition to them, I would suggest purchasing a small translucent plastic box that goes over the flash head - made by STO-FEN. (www.stofen.com). This inexpensive device creates wonderfully softened flash light. I use it on my flash just about all the time and love it. You can also create your own, if you can get a translucent material that is bendable to make a 'box' to fit over your flash head - but Sto-fen's is perfect and is made to fit your particular flash.
