What is a flasher and how to use it?

For a novice photographer, when he finds that the light is insufficient or needs to be replenished, he will choose to turn on the built-in flash at the top of the machine. But many times the effect of using the built-in flash is not satisfactory. Why do you often find other photographers' photos more natural than your own? That's because they all use flashlights. The teacher of Hefei Photography Training School will give you a detailed explanation! When we use the flash, most people will put the flash on the hot boots of the camera to shoot, and the flash can fall directly on the subject. However, this lighting method is often unnatural, which makes the light stiff and the quality worse. Shooting with a flash device means that the flash is not installed on the hot shoes of the camera, but placed in different places through a starter. This device is called a flash device. The main purpose of flasher is not to limit the practicality of flasher. Using flasher can make more effects and make the flash and ambient light in the photo blend more naturally. For example, when we hit the subject directly with the flash, the surface of the subject is only covered by the flash frame, and there is no shadow position, which leads to the unnatural overall ambient light; If we use a flasher, we can fill the light anywhere in the subject, making the ambient light of the whole photo more stereoscopic and natural. In addition, the flash can be equipped with large accessories such as soft umbrella and soft cover to change the light quality, which will be limited if it is placed on the hot boots of the fuselage. Tips and precautions for using flash: 1. Don't shoot the light of the flash or the flash itself into the photo. 2. Pay attention to the callback sound of the flash, because when the flash is not fully dialed back, there will be underexposure or the flash effect is not obvious. 3. More different lighting effects can be achieved by using multiple flashlights. 4. When using the flash, the angle of holding the flash may be different each time, and using the lamp holder is helpful for control.
