Camera Flash Tips

Flash Efficiency Depends on Your Distance from Your Subject:If you stand too far from your subject, the flash simply won't work. Of course, "too far" is dependent solely on the type of flash you're using. Some are made only for very short distances, but others are created to work from much further away.

The Guide Number Is Important:The electronic flash you use with your camera will come with its own guide number. This number provides information about the flash's maximum output in relation to aperture and distance. In its most basic form, the higher the flash's guide number, the further you can be from your subject and still have good flash photography.

Using a Flash Bracket Has Advantages:When you use a flash bracket, the flash is further from the lens, which gets rid of nearly any chance of red eye when you are photographing people. Most flash brackets also pivot, which allows them to rotate when you shoot vertically. This creates a better shadow for your pictures.
