HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY TIMELINE
Flash Photo Compare
The first comparison is that its the same football player, 2nd comparison is that the background seems to be blurred out with or without flash too. 3rd comparison is that they look to be zooned in and ready 4th comparison is that they have the arm sleeve. Last comparison is that you could see his beard even if he has a helmet on.
On Location Portraits or Still Life Photos using Bounced External Flash
Take A Vacation
I would like to go to the Alcatraz because of the map in call of duty zombies. Also because the movie of the guy who escaped the prison. Lastly because the place is a island only for bad people.
READ AND WRITE: INTRODUCTION TO USING STROBES
you can get a kit with a flash head and a power pack, or you can get a monolight kit. The flash head contains flash tubes that emit light once supplied with high voltages. Assymetric power packs allow the user to vary the power supply to different flash heads. Monolights, on the other hand, are compact substitutes for a power pack/flash head combinations. Their size limits their power, but they are often desired for their portability.
Monolights come with the controls built directly into the light itself. So if you have multiple monolights, you’ll need to control and adjust the settings of each one separately. Head/power pack kits also offer faster flash durations than monolights, which can really come in handy when you want to freeze action during fast motion. They also have faster recycle times. Whichever your choose, keep in mind that the most durable equipment is made mainly of metal rather than plastic. f your flash head does not come with a zoom reflector, you can find many types of wide or narrow reflectors sold as accessories.
Reflecting umbrellas produce a diffused and soft light due to the larger size of the reflecting surface. They are mounted in such a way that the strobe light is actually facing away from the subject or model. Light flies from the strobe head hitting the inside of the umbrella and then bounces back towards the subject. Silver-lined umbrellas are the most efficient and can focus light more narrowly than the other types. White umbrellas offer a wider spread of reflected light, and gold umbrellas produce a warm tone.
External Flash Worksheet
When would you use external flash?- powerful for casting light into a far distance
Do you need to meter the light if you use flash?- light meters are only necessary for film photographers using studio flash
What does flash synchronization mean?- the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash with the opening of the shutter admitting light
What does ETTL mean?-Evaluative through-the-lens and is a type of autoflash exposure system
What will happen when you shoot faster than the camera sync speed?- your shutter will close before the flash can be fully captured by the sensor
Why do photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser?- used to soften or spread the harsh, concentrated light that bursts out of the flash
What is a Slave?- used to instructs a flash unit to monitor incoming light, and fire when it senses the light produced by another
What should you do if your image comes out too dark or too light?- Recompose The Photo, Use Exposure Lock. Use Fill In Flash
