In a flash
In a flash, many things in this life happen that way, I like the sentence. Like sometimes everything changes from one minute to the next one, unexpectedly or unpredictably…
I always thought flash less photography was the authentic stuff. Same as filter less, and maybe some others less.
Yes, true light is what’s called in photography “available”.
It’s like if there are two kinds of reality, available reality and some other thing perhaps we could call hyper reality.
My point “of always” was obviously one more kind of photo purism…
The result anyhow is I very rarely used the flash and my skill in it is very limited. Practice matters, of course.
In street photography flash isn’t just about lighting, but it also works as a clearly indiscreet accessory, we could even call a disturbing one.
These last times I’m starting using it, and little by little learning about how to.
First, what settings work good in flash and camera.
And second, very important, how to handle the distance and shooting operating flash… with people in front of it.
Of course right now I just use on camera hot shoe plugged flash. A small articulated one.
Here comes some results and comments
