Using color flash
Flash assignment . Working with a rotating speedlight. The flash head rotates 180 degrees in both directions, as tilt from -7° to +90°. New world to me. It opens new horizons that’s for sure. Learning to control the flash directly from my camera and off camera and all the (to me) new functions of the speedlight. Using Ettl for now, learning to understand the zoom functions and exposure compensation and working with color gels. The influence of bouncing at a white wall, or ceiling, the reflection of the light and using a diffuser……… Really funny and I have a lot of fun with these color gels. If you are interested in the color gel shots look for: The Color Bath and Green Light.

As in the title, this is test of home made diffuser for built-in camera flash. Still nead some adjustments.

If there will be any demand i will post pictures of this invention.Who knows? Maybe this is most extreme usage of built-in camera flash:)
Dumfries, May 2019. Halina Super Mini Flash with Lomography Color Tiger 200CN. Processed and hand-scanned by Digital Photo Express Carlisle.
Many times photographers (especially me!) think flash should only be used at night or indoors! But when I was trying to photograph this scene, the shadows in the resulting image were too dark while the sunlit areas where exposed well. That’s when I remembered about what is called ‘fill-in flash’ which is pretty much using the flash to expose shadows/dark areas in daylight photography. After using the flash the resulting image was much improved.

The Rule of Thumb
"When using flash, to change the exposure you adjust aperture. Adjusting shutter speed will change ambient light exposure."
Changing Shutter Speed
Your camera’s max flash sync speed is probably somewhere around 1/250th of a second (check your manual for yours). This means that to sync up with the flash correctly, you can’t go any faster. Now compare that with the duration of a flash burst, which depending on the power you’ve chosen, could be somewhere in the 1/4000th of a second range.
So just stop and think about this for a second. Unlike ambient light that builds up on the sensor the whole time the shutter is open, flash light is constant no matter what the shutter speed. The only way to grab less light out of that flash burst would be to choose a speed faster than the burst. But you’re constrained by the max sync speed. So you could change the shutter speed all day, speeding it up, but you’ll always grab the same amount of light from that flash.
The bottom line is that the shutter speed will have no affect on the exposure of the area of your image that’s lit by the flash. Consider the image below. The flash power wasn’t changed, and the aperture was kept constant. I only changed the shutter speed. As you can see, the images all have the same exposure. Had I gone slow enough, I would start to pick up ambient light from the room.
Changing Aperture
Just as a refresher, when you change the aperture, you’re changing the size of the hole in the lens that allows light through. A lower aperture number means the hole is bigger, letting more light in.
So now that we know you can change the shutter speed all day long with no effect, the only other setting to play with is the aperture. If you want to change the exposure of a flash lit photo, simply adjust the aperture setting. A lower number makes your image brighter and a higher number makes your image darker. Take a look at this next series of images, all shot at the same shutter speed, but the aperture was changed.
Simple huh? Just remember that when you change aperture, you’re also changing the depth of field. So if your intention was to get a shot with someone’s face in focus and their body further away out of focus, changing the aperture to a higher number will bring their body more into focus. In this case, you’re better off adjusting your ISO setting, adjusting your flash power, or moving your flash further away.

Dabbling with a lightbox and flash. I have been wanting to learn this for ages, but thanks to a generous friend, I had a chance to play around a bit. Thanks to my lovely model for her patience. Any constructive comments would be welcome.

I don't shoot many portraits but a friend asked if I could take a headshot for her bio/business cards.
I triggered 2 SB-80DXs with a couple of PocketWizard PlusX. One flash was bounced off of a 9-10' white ceiling camera right and another was hidden behind her with a grid aimed at the grey wall. Comments/critiques welcomed

Dicing here with the Triumph 500 run by Gate City Triumph of Nashua, New Hampshire, rider was the late Ron Wheeler, I believe. He would out-brake me coming into the infield turns, and I would pass him coming out of the last turn on to the oval. The Flash finished 28th in this 100-miler.

My improvised "tri-flash" mount. I'm thinking I needed more horse power for today's shoot so here is what I came up with.
