When the record pictures using flash, usually the result of the picture will not look natural. I was always a message to the participants of the course – if you use flash, not to use flash looks. That is, we must control the flash of light that looks natural and beautiful. To get an impression of the exciting flash of light, you can follow these few tips:

• Make the flash as a fill-in only, not as a main light. Put simply, use a fairly high ISO, the aperture and shutter speed most of the most slow to get the flash of natural and blended with natural light. If you use the TTL flash control, you can put the flash compensation at -1, -2, etc., to make your flash as a fill-in only.

• Soften flash light by bouncing (bounce) flash it to a coin or a wall. Just make sure you are correct angle of reflection and produce interesting lighting effects. You also need to remember to avoid the bounce to the surface of a coin or a too high or dark in color because of the flash you will not be able to reflect back light. This will cause you to be a quick hot flash, the recycle batteries into the battery gently and quickly exhausted. If the surface is too far or too dark, the images produced will be dark (under exposed)

• To reduce the shadow produced by the flash, you can use a reflector to bounce light back at the same time reduce the shadow key. Reflector is an accessory that is very important and useful for the wedding photographer or portrait photographer. There are various types of reflector on the market, but the most practical is named TriGrip made Lastolite reflector. You can get this type of reflector FOTOTEACHER with a discount if you are former participants FOTOTEACHER. In fact, you can try before you buy from us.

• You also can soften the light flash with a diffuser in front of the flash. This diffuser can be made from any translucent object. Each material will give different light effects. You can use white paper, tissue paper or a translucent white plastic (like milk bottles made of plastic) for your more serious, you can use accessories such as umbrella or Softbox. Among the famous brands are Lumiquest and Lastolite. Now, these products are also available at FOTOTEACHER.

• For more semualajadi effects, do not use direct flash if circumstances permit. You need to have a lens with a large aperture like f/2.8 for this purpose. You’ll also be able to record images with a slow shutter like 1 / 8 seconds and high ISO as ISO 800. To record images with a slow shutter, you should have VR or IS lens. Or you can use the normal lens, but it must have a steady hand.

• Apart from the soft light, the light of direct flash can also produce interesting pictures due to the subject. Direct flash is harsh light and shadows to produce significant improvement. To make it more attractive direct flash, you need to throw your flash off-camera (no flash is on camera) You need to have a TTL cord for this purpose. You can throw a flash of your camera angles and edges. With the beam off-camera flash, your picture will not look like normal photos where a flash is emitted from the camera.
