Basic know photography


What I want to share this time is the Flash / Speedlite / Flash light /. This is the name we always hear among photographers. But what he function? Does the additional accessories decorator just a camera? or has a big role in improving the quality of images produced?


Flash serves as an additional light source when the source of light is insufficient and it is also useful for reducing the shadow of the resulting unwanted light sources other than the sun or light home / spotlight and so on ...

Most DSLR cameras have a built-in flash for the camera itself. There are those who do not have a built-in flash, but it was model a series of professionals such as Canon and Nikon professional series.

In addition, there is an external flash (external flash), which has the stronger and more flexible than the built-in flash. Flash is also available in the directional control of light output and allow the photographer to be more creative in playing with the lighting.

This entry describes how the flash will not work or fashion what should you wear because it is quite difficult to tell. However, you can google itself is the TTL to know more detail. Basically the camera TTL is how you take the exposure reading through the lens of the flash so you know how hard it was to be lighting a scene is. Because it is through the lens so you his name is TTL.  means Through The Lens. Among camera makers, they named this system with various names. As ETTL, A-TTL, i-TTL and others. TTL mode is fully automatic mode for the flash full, you just install and it will light up every time the camera shutter is pressed. Flash also has a manual mode where the flash strength is controlled by the user.

What is important to me to flash the new users is, how do you use a flash you that it is not too bright and to cast a shadow on the subject you and the tecnique and useful tips in flash photography.

1) Bounce Flash - you know larger surface light source you the soft light produced? Disinilan concept applies bounce flash. When you flash you pointing to the ceiling and let it in pantulkan to subject you, the light will be softer and more natural than to direct you straight to the subject of flash you. When the flash is directed straight to the subject of you, it will be the production of the shadows behind the subject good not you. And this, among other things not wanted in flash photography. But let rational ... if there is no ceiling to bounce about how so?

2) Bounce Card - When there is no ceiling or ceiling is too high to use the bounce technique, the normal photographer will use tools such as the bounce card to replace the ceiling and create a more or less the same effect with a bounce flash. Here's more or less look like him

 3) Diffuser - Always associated with a device that is attached in front of the flash close in a way that would soften or to view you diffuse the flash so that it is not too rough or HARSH. Diffuser available in various types and produce different output. Among them are like the image below.
