Flash Photography Techniques - Ambient Light Plus Flash
With careful use of the flash, your images appear natural as if no flash was used, able it will further reduce the picture contrast and yet looking very natural.
It is a dream of all photographers to look for balance in lighting when taking photographs one topic and most of the time the quality of the available light is not always perfect. I share my experience in making wise use of flash can I enlarge my photos instead of just using the available ambient light.
Before we begin I would clear some things on my flash photography techniques that I will share with you.
- Allow me to set the term flash in this article - it's what some people called "Light Speed" that the add-on flash mounted on the camera hot - shoe type and not the Studio Flash type flash or pop-up flash built into the camera ..
- The flash photography techniques that I write in this article are mainly apply to "the field" or "on the move" not photography and photography studio.
- I am a user of Nikon D-SLR and Light Speed, some examples of my photography work shown here, are no standard recipe as each camera system, a different slide lecture slides so some adjustment required.
Ambient Light plus Flash
I use flash most of the time, but using flash you will not mean the ambient thus spoil the picture look unnatural. Why only use available light only if your photo appears to be terrible. I will show you through an understanding of key techniques, mixing ambient with flash you a better picture.
By using the flash I will be able to the shadow and highlight areas to avoid shadows under the eyebrows go making it a better picture than it would have been without flash. But this does not mean that the image up will appear flat. Make sure that your reading right.
Let's try two examples:
1. A wedding couple on a beach and under a tent as the sun down: --
- Shoot in manual mode, because you need to check your accuracy for metering and consistency.
- Meter for ambient light, you get exposure right, turn your flash and take a test shot. With the right exposure you get a perfect natural setting, but the couple will have little emphasis or with some shadows around their faces.
- Now set your flash and adjust your flash to TTL-BL mode which automatically balances flash with ambient light air (as I'm using Nikon). Adjust your flash compensation. Start offset of 0 EV and slowly go to plus 1.7 EV. How much is enough? There is no one right answer as it depends how much you need to use flash as fill flash. In this example certainly need a stronger flash fill correspond to the sunny background.
Flash was off. I took the reading Ambient light and took a test shoot. Satisfied with the overall exposure and then my flashlight and took the photo below with my flashlight firring direct and dial-up flash to the mine +1.7 EV. Photographt See below for comparison.
2. Portrait of a couple against a wall
- Again always shoot on manual mode.
- Meter just before the light available.
- Adjust your flash to TTL-BL mode. What I usually outside door from -1.3 EV because Nikon strobes on TTL-BL mode automatically balances flash with ambient light and I will always shoot with flash firing straight. The real idea is to use the flash as a fill-light only to lift and shadows.
- Communication I manage with a fill flash to eliminate shadows under the eyebrows couple without exposing the wall and the couples' clothing's.
Photo 2 - Take pictures with flash
The two examples above clearly tells you simply flash with the correct exposure to the reading of the ambient light in combination with the right amount flash value to be dismissed and you have a perfect balance natural looking image. Who says that using Flash would look unnatural and spoil the ambient light?
I will follow up with an article entitled Flash Photography Techniques - Bouncing the flash photography alongside my experience with you. Because you can bounce the Flash Light mitigate and reduce or eliminate flash shadows.
