How to use the flash of hot boots skillfully

Lead: Many movie friends have one or several flashlights with hot boots, which can fill the light for the subject in poor light environment such as indoors, or when the light ratio is too large. In fact, in the bright and soft light environment, you can also use the hot shoe flash, the purpose of which is to create a larger light ratio and create a three-dimensional light and shadow effect. The following author will introduce this shooting method for everyone.

Before using this method, we need to prepare a device that can make the hot shoe flash off the machine, a wireless flash device or an off-machine hot shoe connecting line.

I chose a flowering branch as the shooting target in a small scene, set the camera to M, measure light accurately, and set the aperture and shutter value. Next, determine the position of the flash. It is best to put the flash on the side of the shooting target, because the side light can create a three-dimensional effect. Press the flash index of the hot shoe lamp = aperture value? Distance (the distance between the flash and the subject), set the power of the flash, preferably set the power slightly higher than the calculated value.

Choose a suitable composition and take a picture to see how it works.

Flowers photographed with a flash of hot boots.

If you don't think it's anything special, let's compare the effect without flash in the picture below.

There are no flowers photographed with a flash.

As can be seen from the above two photos, the three-dimensional effect of the flower branches photographed by the hot shoe flash is very obvious, the background is darkened and the main body is more prominent. The whole picture of cuttlefish without flash is dull, and the three-dimensional sense is not strong enough. If you like this kind of stereo photo, you might as well have a try!
