Well I wasn't doing very much tonight so thought i would share my experiments with a flash and some diffusers.

The method was WallE on the kitchen work top, camera on tripod. fstop and shutter speed were set so the EV was level at zero. Then I used differnt flash settings repeated with the flash at different angles with different diffusers. This resulted in 38 photos :gag: anyway i thought i would share and you can see the difference the flash makes to the picture.

Processing = import to LR, export at size 800 tiff, into PS added text, into LR to add boarder and watermark.

These are the diffusers

I also have the results for the angled flash with the diffusers at the differnt flash setting if any ne is intrested i will post them here for you.

Hope this is of some use.
 
I like the no diffuser, 45 degrees, and manual 1/1
makes the WallE just stand out, with a pure white background :)
 
Interesting comparision Ruthie :thumbs:
though you do seemed to have scared the crap
outta your subject, or is he just blinded by you "flashing him" so many times ? :D
 
Jamie - the idea is to learn about the lighting and the effect of the diffusers / angle of the flash. But your not wrong some of the effects are cool.

Thanks Chris hope you found it useful :)
 
It was brought to my attention that the manual flash setting were confussing the issue and to show the effects of the diffuser and the angle i should just use the eTTL versions so i have eddited the thread. :)

hope that make it mroe useful.
