“綠色三眼仔對彩熊和藍精靈爸爸春天約會閃光設置的另一看法 Little Green Man (LGM)’s alternative off-camera flash (strobist) config for Rainbow Teddy + Daddy Smurf” / SML Opinions / SML.20130513.6D.06507

One of the Little Green Men (LGM) from Toy Story was also at the photoshoot with Rainbow Teddy (RT) and Daddy Smurf that night [1] but he has a different opinion regarding how to use the strobe.

 

LGM: I think that a bare bulb is better than SML’s ceiling bounce.

 

SML: Why?

 

LGM: If I hold the flash this way, it highlights how private your date is.

 

RT: But we are just hanging out—SML was lying. We are definitely not on a date. My love is for Tigger.

 

SML: Really? So where is Tigger?

 

RT: Well you did say that he was too big to tag along…

 

LGM: I heard that also!

 

SML: …

 

So basically depending on your needs, different lighting setup gives you a different effect, and this capture illustrates a few things:

 

1. The stadium is very dark.

2. The flash by itself covers a very small area.

3. If you bounce from the ceiling it creates a much larger area.

4. Bounced flash is able to create a big soft light.

5. Unbounced bare bulb flash is able to create a small but harsh light.

 

So which do you use? It depends on the look you are going for.
