Modifying the Light Output

|

25

When bouncing your flash, you may need to adjust your exposure settings, since there will be less light falling
on your subject. The farther away the bounce surface and your subject are, the less illumination there will be.

TIP: Bouncing your flash off colored surfaces can create a color cast in your images. Bouncing off a white or
neutral-colored surface will not alter the color of the light, while bouncing off a gold-toned surface can give
portraits a warmer look. Other colors, while usually not desirable, can be used for creative effects.
