Photographs taken with the flash
attached to the camera are flat as
shown in photo
. In such cases,
remove the flash from the camera and
position it to obtain a more three-
dimensional effect as shown in photo
.
Photo was taken using the cam-
era’s built-in flash and the flash locat-
ed separately from the camera, with a
light intensity of 1:2 respectively to
produce a soft gradation between light
and dark, and natural shadows.
When taking this type of photograph
with a single lens reflex camera, the
camera and the flash unit are most
commonly connected by cable. This
flash eliminates the need for a cable
to transmit signals to the flash unit by
using the light of the flash itself as a
signal. This type of flash control is
referred to as ‘wireless (remote)
flash’. The proper exposure is deter-
mined automatically by the camera.
