    Flash Photography

    Send us a textFlash photography certainly has its place, but not always where you might think.Sure, it is one option in low ambient light situations and can also be used in daylight to make sure the subject is correctly exposed without overexposing everything else. But is a standard 'pop-up' flash the best option.Pop-ups are useful but are all but guaranteed to create red-eye when photographing people.

I'm sure that we've all had the experience of thinking we've just created a great photograph, only to find that the result isn't what we'd hoped for.
