Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Automatic flash technology has revolutionized photography. Originally seen simply as a way to illuminate dark scenes with portable light, flash is used today for a host of creative functions, including supplementing daylight and designing complex scenes lit by multiple light sources.

Flash photography can be a difficult artistic and technical challenge. It’s easy to get that harsh deer-in-the-headlights look from built-in automatic flash, but using electronic flash to create striking or natural-looking images is not as straightforward. This is where Mastering Canon EOS Photography comes in.

This is the authoritative book on the subject, guiding the reader through everything from Canon’s Speedlite flash system to off-camera portable flash and professional studio lighting. It begins with the fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key concepts, and documents the various features and functions available with EOS gear. Throughout this book you'll find clear diagrams that describe important functions and lighting arrangements, and fascinating images that demonstrate sophisticated flash techniques.

Unlike other works on the topic, included here is the burgeoning field of non-dedicated off-camera flash-an area traditionally seen as too daunting for all but professional photographers. But the combination of digital photography's immediacy and ease of use, popular websites such as Strobist.com, and finally, Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography has brought off-camera flash to a whole new audience.
