12 Flash techniques
12.1 Bounce flash
Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly
and reduces dense shadows. It also reduces the
drop in light from foreground to background that
occurs for physical reasons.
The reflector of the flash unit can be swivelled hori-
zontally and tilted vertically for bounce flash.
To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective sur-
face should be colour-neutral or white.
When tilting the reflector vertically, make sure that
it is turned through an angle that is wide enough to
prevent direct light from falling on the subject. For
this reason the reflector should be tilted at least as
far as the 60° lock-in position.
When the reflector head is tilted, the reflector is
moved to a position of 70 mm in order to prevent
the subject from being additionally illuminated by
dispersed light .
When the reflector head is given, there is no indica-
tion of reach and no automatic adjustment of the
reflector position.
