Flash no
Contrast and/or black slider certainly - then adjust midtones and highlights to taste

No, I don't think a flash was necessary. The light level was pretty low and a bit on the blue side. I think a little bit of extra contrast would make a big difference. If you want to brighten them a bit and move then a little toward yellow that would probably also help. But they're not daylight balanced pictures... and they don't need to be. That light has its own useful characteristics.

lacking in contrast.  They could do with a little boost.


Yes, you're right. When I reviewed these after returning home I realised that I should have used the flash at the lowest power setting to as to provide a more sufficient light spectrum. They came out looking like something out of "The Lathe of Heaven" where Steve Orr turned everyone into a uniform gray so as to eliminate racial discrimination.
