Bounce Flash Operation
Bounce fl ash is a photographic technique using light that is bounced
off a ceiling or wall using a tilted or rotated fl ash head. This provides
the effects listed below compared to those with direct light from a
fl ash unit:
Overexposure to a subject that is closer than other subjects can be •
reduced.
Background shadows can be softened.
•
Shine in faces, hair and clothes can be reduced. •
The shadows can be softened further using the Nikon Diffusion Dome.
For more details and comparative example photos, see the separate •
booklet, “A collection of example photos.”
