Flash is the one tool that the average photographer really tends to shy away from. Maybe its the foreign menu on the back of the flash, the fact that we can’t see the light before the exposure, or perhaps its because we’ve seen a lot of bad flash photography. Washed out faces, harsh shadows in the background. These are just a couple of things that give flash photography a bad name.
But used correctly, Flash can help illuminate Or highlight overly dark subjects So they stand out and become the focus of our attention. Using an additional flash in the scene can make a snapshot look more like a professional portrait. It can be the main source of illumination, or simply take a dull subject and a add a breath of fresh air.
This course will make you a better photographer. A much better photographer. How you ask? First a little history.

“I have purchased both the DVDs “Perfect Composition for Digital Photography” and “Perfect Exposure for Digital Photography”, and can’t tell you how many times I have watched and listened to them. They are the most comprehensive lectures one could ever find outside of a classroom. He is a great teacher and photographer”.

I have Perfect Composition, Perfect Exposure, and Magic Light. I really enjoy all three and watch them regularly. I like the way you present the material and use examples to high light the subject material you’re explaining. Your explanations are clear and through the use of examples they emphasize your teaching points. It is evident by your enthusiasm that you enjoying teaching and sharing your knowledge with others.
