Helpful Hints:
With bounce flash photography, it is neces
sary to adjust the flash head so that the sub
ject is not directly illuminated by the flash. If
you only tilt the flash up a few degrees ex
posure will not be uniform. The easiest way
to use bounce flash is to tilt the flash head
up 90° and bounce off a ceiling.
The bounce surface should be white or
nearly white, fairly large and highly reflec
tive. A colored, reflecting surface may
cause the subject to appear tinted that col
or. The subject color may also be
disappointing if the surface reflects poorly.
A very high ceiling does not make a good
surface for bounce flash; a solution would
be to bounce the flash off a white card
reflector. Generally, the closer the flash is to
the bounce surface, the brighter and higher
in contrast the picture will be.
