Flash and natural light mixed use

In natural light (sunlight) photography, auxiliary lighting is not normally required, because the natural light enough brightness. But in some sin-condition under is not, as in the strong daylight shooting side light or backlighting for close-range and features figures, shot in front of the window or in the sunlight of backlight portrait and Interior natural light conditions down to shoot bigger scene, or due to excessive light contrast scenes

In natural light (sunlight) photography, auxiliary lighting is not normally required, because the natural light enough brightness.

But in some sin-condition under is not, as in the strong daylight shooting side light or backlighting for close-range and features figures, shot in front of the window or in the sunlight of backlight portrait and Interior natural light conditions shooting scenes, etc. larger, or because the contrast is too large and dark scenes, or for light unevenness will require supplemental lighting. Small flashlight is lightweight, and easy to control the amount of light, color temperature, can also be more light with Flash, is the ideal complement to the light source, if used well, help to compensate for the lack of natural light, and improve photo quality.

Practice has proved that in natural light and Flash to control contrast and adjust the color temperature, sometimes can also be used when modeling light.

This hybrid optical imaging, intake is especially delicate, soft, can produce better visual effects. Now let's talk about Flash and outdoor natural light. Here's an outdoor natural light, including direct sunlight and cloudy scattered light. Photography in direct sunlight, Flash supplementary lighting is to decrease the contrast of light and shade, the scenery and the shading shadow sharp levels fully revealed. Therefore, only be taken in at the side of light or backlighting State needs combined with Flash. In this case, because Flash is used as a secondary lighting, exposure to sunlight, for Flash illumination must be controlled, not distracting.

Now side light photography as an example: in a direct daylight shooting side light, exposure can face strong light, the light and contrast, through Flash supplemental lighting, general control in 1: 1: 3 to 4 more appropriate.

If you use automatic Flash that you want to control the light and contrast ratio is very simple, as long as you choose Flash on automatic aperture level, choice than camera on aperture large level to level six. If Flash is not on the grade, you can adjust the camera's Aperture and shutter speed, exposure combination. If you use the manual Flash, you can take to adjust Flash power plant, or Flash to be taken in the distance, or the lamp on the yarn to control Flash of light: here is the second point to note, if your camera is the focus plane shutter is only slow. film or lens with a neutral gray filter, because the focus plane shutter Flash sync speed is 1/60 second or 1/125 SEC (currently more advanced camera with 1/250 sec), such as fast film, in the strong sunlight will not apply.

Shooting in the direct sunlight, such as the color tablet with Flash, it is necessary to pay attention to the change of daylight color temperature.

Especially after the sunrise and sunset before the period of time to shoot portraits, in order to maintain the site light tone and atmosphere, be sure to add the Flash with a lower color temperature of the filter. In the rainy days of scattered light shooting people photos, often photographed light plain, contrast is weak, but the photo tone gray flat, boring. In this case, you can use Flash for modeling light, Flash out side light and light effects, such as backlight to achieve increased contrast, rich hierarchical purposes. There are two specific practices: one is to Flash as the main light, or on the side of the camera body is high, making side-effects; or on the back side height, contour light effects. Exposure can figure of face natural light, the Flash power and distance to the camera than the aperture multi level to level six. But to do so, you need a longer wire. Another is that you can fully modeled dual lamp photographing light method, one as the main light, a lamp, light as a Deputy and light than you can. The difference is due to exposure to natural light, Deputy lamp's main task is to raise the main light, determine the Deputy lamp power, than the camera less used Aperture as well as at the level of damage to natural light.
