exposure problems
Are you new to the world of flash photography and the step-up from just using a camera to having kit seems slightly bigger than you thought? Or perhaps, you have all the kit but not the right settings and your photos aren’t turning out like expected. In either case its worth taking a look at this tutorial from Cambridge in Colour on Camera Flash:Exposure. As they explain, “Using a camera flash can both broaden the scope and enhance the appearance of your photographic subjects. However, flash is also one of the most confusing and misused of all photographic tools.”
Adding extra flashes and external flashes are fantastic for pushing the boundaries of what you can capture and the quality of the image. However, extra kit normally serves to complement your skills on the camera. Offering a recap of the technical jargon it provides an overview of flash exposure and covers a good explanation of flash ratio, exposure modes, and more. Their tutorial is useful if you’re the sort of person who forgets something old every-time they learn something new, as it provides a detailed, but not too lengthy, refresher on the basics. It’s likely after a little practice you’ll find your ready for something a bit more advanced and it doesn’t explain how to push flash beyond the limitations of the camera but it will help prepare you for adding extra kit, and making that kit work to your advantage.
