Taking photographs in complete darkness?
OK, now I know the answer is "use a flash" but I'm after some more information on taking indoor pictures that will come out well / not looking like a flash was obviously used (if that makes sense) in complete darkness.
I don't have a flashgun yet, so will have to invest in one definitely. Is there anything else that would be essential other than a flash for stuff like this? Cheers Matt

Up the ISO. Get a faster lens, like f/2.8 or f/1.4. Shoot near the windows too.

well the Sigma 2.8 that I spoke with you about will be my lens at the time (can't afford the L glass and wouldn't want to risk taking it where I'll be shooting anyway)
Near windows might be an issue, but I can probably shoot in the direction of windows  /secretive mode/

If you don't want to make it look like a flash was used, get a defuser as well
 The other alternative of course is a tripod and long exposure

Even if that's not the case, a lot of urbexers shoot in complete darkness and use long exposures coupled with light painting using torches to show the detail.
