Digital Photography Flash Tutorial

http://froknowsphoto.com/

We are back with another Super Secret Project Video, this time a simple tip for getting better flash pictures.

How many of you use the flash on your camera and realize that your images looks plain. flat and boring? Well in this video I give you a few tips to give your images some more dimension when using the flash.

We simply get out of the auto setting where the camera always sets the flash to 1/60th of a second and instead shoot it in manual.

To see how I set the camera to get a better flash exposure check out the video and sample images at

battery grip or lenses?

[JaredPolin]

@TheKangarooguru lenses all the way.

How exactly does setting ISO 4000 on a D3 allow ambient light. One would assume that a low ISO would warrant a longer shutter right?

Or was that just the ISO used to overcome not using the flash?

[JaredPolin]

@tarunactivity when i go to 4000 ISO its usually to freeze the subject.

Nice...but with this kind of photos how do u choose the white balance?

Because u got ambient lights(prob tungsten wb), but also flash(flash wb),so one of the two source of light will appear altereted.

Thanks

bye.

[JaredPolin]

@collybaba i worry about WB later.

Did you go to photography/film school or anything like that?

What's a good rule of thumb when manually setting your ISO and shutter speed? How do you know what setting to use?
