Brief introduction of flash photography

Lead: Only by mastering the use of flash can you be regarded as a beginner in photography. The following is the relevant information content, welcome your reference!

First of all, I can tell you responsibly that the camera needs far more light than your eyes can see. If the brightness of your lamp can reach above 1500W, congratulations, your standard has met the requirements of the camera. This is equivalent to a single lamp in a general TV studio. Of course, the more lights, the better, the wider the illumination range and the more uniform the light. Someone will recommend you to use a sun lamp. In this way, your budget may exceed a little, because you have to consider how to cool down.

The advantage of flash is that you can easily get very strong light with bright and consistent colors.

You must be familiar with your camera before the flash lights up. First, the wireless mode requires the use of the camera's hot shoe function. One is to use a wireless remote controller, the transmitter is installed on the hot shoe seat, and the receiver is plugged into the lamp. When the camera is pressed, it flashes there.

The other is to use a flash lamp, which is directly installed on the hot boots and emits infrared light when taking pictures, so that the flash lamp flashes.

The wired way is that your camera must have a synchronous socket, one end of which is plugged into the camera and the other end is connected with a light. The disadvantage is that threads are easy to trip.

Unfortunately, many entry-level cameras do not have this design.

The choice of lamp is the choice of power: if the venue is large, choose high power, otherwise choose high power. Generally, in the environment of 10- 15 square meters, the power within 200WS is enough. 20-30 square meters, just use 300WS-400WS.

Number of lights: generally choose 2-4 lights, and it is best to control the intensity of light with the same power.

Flexible frame, according to the size of the subject, the same proportion, the larger the area, the softer and weaker the light. Single lamp portrait lighting demonstration:

Use Yin Yan CY-28A flash, outside the machine, wireless remote control flash. The distance between the lamp and the subject is about 1m, the aperture is 18-22, the speed is1125, and the standard platform is Seagull.

Position 1, front light, behind the camera, slightly above the position. The light is flat, similar to an internal flash.

Position 2, the angle is 30 degrees, and the most beautiful angle is 3/4, which well reflects the beautiful facial contour and is a common light angle for portraits.

Position 3, the angle is 45-60 degrees, which can better reflect the three-dimensional sense of the face, and the shadow is slightly larger.

Position 4, angle of 90 degrees, typical yin and yang face, often appears in personality photography, this angle is often used to express male masculinity.

Position 5, the angle is 120 degrees, and the side backlight with a slightly larger bright area has a larger high-gloss surface.

Position 6, angle 135- 150 degrees, typical side backlight, a good outline.

Position 7, angle 180 degrees, positive reflection, complete all-side light, be careful not to enter the lens, easy to develop light.

The light level 7 matches the white reflector 9, and the light intensity of textured skin and face under beautiful profile light is controlled by the distance of the reflector.

The most classic and commonly used photographic lighting method: lamp position 8, with white reflector position 10. Perfect stereoscopic light.
