Diffusing
the
Light
Light
is
what gives form
to
so
lid objects. If
the
flash
is
pointed direc tly at
th
e subject a
nd
lo
ca
ted near
th
e len
s,
the
su
bject will look
fl
at because of
th
e lack of shadows.
However,
if
th
e
fla
sh
is
moved
off-axis, shadows s
ta
rt
to
appear
on
the s
id
e opposite
th
e light
sou
rce,
thu
s giving
the impression of roundness. But because the light sti
ll
comes directly from the flash.
th
e shadows are harsh
and unattrac
tiv
e.
By
diffusing the light,
you
can eliminate
the harsh shadows, making snapshots and portraits
much more attrac
ti
ve
.
Th
ere are two ways
to
diffu
se
light : you can either
bounce the light off a broad reflective surface, such
as
the ceiling or walls, or u
se
a diffuser between flash
and
subject.
Bounce flash photography
With the 8B-
16
's
main flash head tilted back and/or
rotated, the light travels directly
to
the ceiling or wall
and
then bounces back to the subject. Acting
as
a broad
re
-
flector, the ceili
ng
or wall scrambles the direction of the
light rays, making the lighting diffused and much more
natural looking. Because the 8B-16
's
secondary flash
head faces straight ahead,
it
provides a small amount of
direct illumination to fill
in
unflattering shadows around
the eyes and creates a catchlight for the eyes.
