Friday

A wet cold day so I spent an hour inside Burford church with a pocket outfit. The Olympus E-p1 with M-9-18mm lens, a manual Vivitar flash and a pocket tripod. All shots with off camera flash fitted with 'Bare bulb' Stoffan, flash fired with cheap wireless trigger.


Many people miss this scene under the tomb.


A Simple Off camera flash can often produce all the lighting you need even when your hand holding everything. It is often essential to add some fill light or a main light in dark interiors
In many cases good flash technique should never be seen. I love it when people don't realise flash was used and often thats the way it should be. I meet so many photographers who think badly of flash. The fact is flash is only light. Its the same light that comes from a window or from another light source at a location. Flash isn't bad. Its the average photographer that is bad.
