Morguefile.com :: Photos from KevBow. Stroboscopic Lighting. Flash Photography Made Simple by Chuck McKern For some reason, flash photography is a topic many people are deathly afraid of and many others don't fully understand. Flash units are just tools to assist us in our picture taking. They improve our photography by allowing us to control the light. I'm going to discuss flash photography in a manner that, I hope, is easy to understand and should take some of the fear out of using that "F" word (flash not the other "F" word silly). I'll also cover several ways to use your flash to achieve better results. When most of us think about using a flash, we think of low light scenes indoors or outside at night. Granted, a flash is important in these situations. Direct Flash Direct flash is what most people are most familiar with, and is when the flash unit emits its burst of light directly at the subject.

Hongkong. 10 Spectacular Cockpit Photos - Canadian Bootstrapper. Buy an Aerobatic Experience. Digital Black and White. Black and white was what first got me "seriously" into photography. While I never attained real mastery in black and white printing, I have spent a long time in various darkrooms. I still enjoy the aesthetic of black and white a great deal, and of course have tried to get the "look" I like in digital as well. Thanks to a lot of experimentation, some reading up, and tips from people who are a lot better at it than I am, I'm finally starting to see the kinds of results I wanted. In particular, thanks to Jim Fuglestad, aka Shutter at DPReview, who thought up the "dodge and soft light" technique described in this essay.
