Manual Flash
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 7:52 pmI've been wanting a bit more from my flash lately than iTTL on camera flash can offer, so I've been reading strobist and experimenting a little.
Manual flash to camera right (diffused thru white photocopy paper) with white reflector to camera left for fill. I could have moved the lemon to the left side to avoid any highlights, but I wanted to make this as difficult a flash tuning excercise as I could.
I know the egg is dirty, I had only collected it from the chook coup 10 minutes earlier.
This is hard directional light (85mm at 1/16) from camera left and white paper to camera right for fill. Hand holding for 2.5sec and manually firing the flash to light the scene.
I realise that compositionally these could have been better and that I could have used a tripod for the second shot, but I was feeling lazy and all I was really wanting to know was how to manipulate the flash in manual mode.
