Flash Photography

I've been reading photographers' discussions on various external flash accessories. These are updated comparisons for 6th edition of my textbook, "Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach."

Inside, light scatters off many surfaces. Outside, the scattered light rays coming from the accessories have few surfaces to bounce off. Notice, in the outdoor series, that the shadow behind the model is darker in almost each situation. All accessories are subject to the same laws of physics. Ken Kobre - www.lightscoop.com Lightscoop® is a device that bounces the pop-up flash in most dSLR cameras.

Today's photography cheat sheet will help you understand how some of the most common light modifiers work and why you should choose one over the other.
