I was like you. I tried putting a paper in front of my on camera flash I tried things but nothing gave me the light I wanted. On my Pentax k30 I could adjust the Flash intensity and that helped a lot.

If you want to get into Flash photography an off body flash is the only way to go. Make sure you get one there the head of the flash can move. I have 2 flashes so I can get really fancy and use one as a slave. Thats fun.

I know it seems like a lot of money for a flash but it makes all the difference in the world. I lived many years with out using A flash I would just use Sunlight and room lighting. I don't know what took me so long I LOVE MY FLASH! I have a Metz 52 AF-1 it's a great flash and the price is right.

This is one of the many Flower photos I took with my Flash.
