Episode 8 -The Flash Episode!
We know you’ve been waiting for another episode for a really long time, and so without further ado we bring you episode 8! In this another amazing photosode we cover how to use a flash unit and the different effects you can get with various diffusers. This is also our first somewhat “live demonstration.” Some of the diffusers we cover are Stofen’s omnibounce, Gary Fong’s Lightsphere, and Rogue Flash Bender. We also explore other flash methods such as ceiling bounce, and off camera flash with some creating dramatically different looks, and while others subtly different. The method you pick really depends on your taste and preference, because not every flash technique is right for everyone and every situation
In this photosode our environment consists of a low 8-foot white ceiling with white surrounding walls, and although the photos that we show are results are the products of our surrounding, you may get something different even though you’re using the same settings/methods because your surroundings might and will probably be different.
We’re hoping that this photosode will help you get a better understanding of the seemingly complicated flash, but we believe that the best way to learn about flash is to try it yourself. You might discover something really cool by accident, and maybe you can share that technique with us!
Also, last but not least, we have a sponsor who is giving us a very very very nice gift to give to you guys! Find out who how to win it at the end of this photosode!!!
