How to avoid taking a "glossy face"

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to use flash when shooting night scenes. A small aperture and a long exposure can show a beautiful night scene. However, flashlights are generally used to take portraits at night. If you turn on the flash directly to take a portrait, it is normal to restore the character, but the night scene behind it is very dark and cannot be restored. At this time, you need to use the slow flash function. The general night scene, the background is usually very dark. In order to make the background light and color appear, this time may be110 second or longer.
