Flash and lighting

Not a complete expose on the subject of course, but some things to keep in mind when using a flash and lighting techniques.

These tips are from: Digital Picture of Britain web site.

  1. Use your camera's red-eye reduction setting (if it has one) when taking flash photographs of people.
  2. Avoid red-eye by turning up or providing more light in the room.
  3. Aiming the flash directly at your subject can result in harsh lighting. Try to bounce the flash off a reflective or white surface, such as the ceiling, to produce a softer light.
  4. 'Fill-in' flash (which may be a setting on your camera) is useful for subjects that are quite brightly lit from behind
Enjoy the art of photography,
