Are these 3 pictures taken using boucned flash ?

I see, cool... 

Since there's a thread about flash, don't mind if I ask something. 
Can I place my external flash just beside the camera if I wanna use slave mode ?

Picture 2 looks too white for me. But 1 and 3 is awesome! yea, many china trigger can do it too.

1st your composition needs working

2nd shooting food, you can point the flash to the behind the food, towards the sides perhaps. let it bounce to create highlights.

studio shoot food and restaurant shoot food uses same concept but at restaurant is a lot more challenging, i don't use flash........... even till today. cos flash annoy the crap out of people in restaurant, and draw too much attention.

you Sony user, so you would be aware how bright can the F42 light the area at full power.

same goes to Nikon SB600 and Canon 430EX II.

i use natural and man-made lights.

should've come to my talk that day, i covered a bit.

i know i will get annoyed if a bunch of people firing their flash away in restaurant, get more flash bang than playing COD : MW2. so since i don't like it, i don't do to others.

you know la if you order 3 dishes, easily you take at least 5 shots for the food. since use flash, 1st one to see the out come, the rest to tune.


yes, point it away from the food.



this is a shot that's not PPed at all, other than resize and watermark.

I used 2 flash for this (actually 1 is enough la), just 1 on each side pointing upwards to white ceiling.

as you can the shot lacks highlights cos the lights come from the top.

Was that photo taken in a studio or restaurant? Is the white background the table or white backdrop?

Nice shot, lwliam! This is a good thread. if only we all can share out setups and pictures here, then we can help every1 to improve! Makes me so eager to try out more wireless flash after seeing some pics here!
Hey, di466 can use as a slave to nikon's commander mode? Any probs with it? I currently have one sb600, might wanna look into purchasing cheaper flashes around for more CLS...

Hrmm... This thread doesn't cater to the dissemination of information regarding built-in flash? I think the built-in unit should be fully utilised before moving on to the external unit. (Sry for the tone, juz finished with my scientific blog post :-P)

Anyway, I've made my own version of the built-in / pop-up flash bouncer, using an orange juice carton.

All f/5.6, 1/60, ISO800, 55mm, flash compensation +1

Before (control, no flash)



More information on my blog at http://365-knocks-n-bruises.blogspot.com (sorry yea, the procedure really too long).

Do give comments and suggestions though. I wanna exhaust this option before 'graduating' to an external unit.
