Bounce flash
flash pointed direttly at a subject produces harsh, unnatural
light. An external flash unit, however , gives you the freedom
to point flash at walls or ceilings to reflect (or 'bounce •)
light from the flash. ihis produces softer light and reduces
deep shadows, resulting in photographs with a more natural
feel. A simple technique for fantastic photos!

Diffused fldsh
When there is no ceiling or wall handy to use for bounce
flash, you con still produce soft light with on external
flash. Simply place a piece of wh i te translucent paper (like
tracing paper or a paper towel) between the flash and
subject. A simple solution that you can also use if flash
bounced off a colored wall or ceiling causes an undesirllble
color shift in photos.
