Multiple Flash Photography
If you have another flash unit, you can use it as a second
ary light source for multiple flash photography. When you
use only one flash unit in front of a subject, harsh shad
ows may be produced or light may not reach the back
ground. But by using more than one flash unit, you can
solve these problems.
With the SB-16 and F3-series, FA, FE2, F-501/N2020,
F-301/N2000, FG or Nikonos-V camera combination, both
TTL and manual multiple flash photography are possible. In
both cases, one important fact to remember is that the effect
produced by using more than one flash unit depends on the
lighting ratio or baiance of illumination between fiash units.
So first you shouid determine the roie of each flash unit,
deciding which flash will be the main fiash and which the
secondary.
To create pictures with high contrast, give different ex
posure to the subject and background by adjusting the
aperture, shutter speed and/or camera-and flash-to-sub-
ject distance.
