Using Fill Flash and Bounce Flash Photography - 8th August 2011

In this class we took a number of photos where we use fill and bounce flash. Here are some examples:

Fill Flash

Exposing for the background

Adding Fill Flash

Exposing for the background without flash

Flash

Exposing for the background plus fill flash

Bounce Flash

Flash bouncing off wall

Flash pointed directly at subject

Flash bouncing off ceiling.

 Notice how the image with flash bouncing off the wall looks the best! The light is reflecting straight back onto the subject and wraping nicely around  the face, without making him look flat and casting heavy shadows on the wall behind him or under his eyes.
