Having a busy background or one that is dark will minimize the dark or harsh shadow that comes with using a flash. The best option though is to have enough light that you don't need a flash.

Keep an eye out for any kinds of patterns, whether natural or artificial, when shooting your subject matter. Patterns, especially repeating patterns, make for something interesting to look at in a photograph. You can even use them to your advantage to create some interesting angles and backgrounds for your subject matter.

Compose your pictures accordingly and let the weather inspire you for interesting creations. You can also wait for different kind of weather before you take pictures.

Produce black and white photos with more clarity and impact by shooting original pictures in color and converting them to black and white on your computer. Computer image editing software often gives you much more control than your camera's black and white filter.
