If you find that your flash is too harsh, there are a few things that you can do to make it less so. One is to bounce the flash off of a nearby wall or ceiling. This will help to diffuse the light and make it less harsh. Another thing that you can do is to use a flash diffuser. This is a small piece of equipment that you attach to the flash head and it helps to spread out the light and make it less harsh.
There are a number of ways to make your flash pictures look natural. One way is to use a diffuser on your flash. This will help to spread the light out and soften it. Another way is to bounce the light off of a white ceiling or wall. This will help to create a more natural look. Finally, you can try using a flash gels to change the color of the light. This can help to create a more natural look depending on the colors you use.
If you're looking to get rid of shadows in photos, there are a few things you can do. One is to use a reflector to bounce light back into the shadowed areas. Another is to use a flash to fill in the shadows. And finally, you can adjust the exposure settings on your camera to brighten up the shadows.
If you're taking a picture indoors without a flash, you may notice that the photo comes out looking dark and shadowy. To avoid this, try to position yourself near a window with natural light. If possible, face the window so that the light is coming from the side or behind you. This will help to fill in the shadows on your face and create a more even lighting.

Purchased it to replace a large umbrella for real estate photo shots.The overall product quality and usability are excellent. It does its duties pretty nearly to the letter. Since it doesn't quite take the position of the umbrella, I still find myself focusing the flash upward at the ceiling, like I did before I used this head. It doesn't quite replace the little soft boxes that you may use to give highlights to decor items or whatever because of the vast dispersion. It's kind of lame because it's exclusively for real estate use. It's alright, however it would be simpler to simply bounce the flash. It hasn't taken the place of mine, if you were hoping to avoid wearing an umbrella.

The fact that each reflector is two sided is fantastic. So, as opposed to what the photographs would have you assume, the two-pack contains two white AND silver reflectors. While holding my 430ex II upside down on my hip, I did experience some reflector difficulties, however my 530ex II's reflector did not move at all. The material feels durable, and the elastic held up well after the first few uses.

Although it's not a genuine softbox and won't soften the light in the same way, you're still getting a lot of value for your money.When traveling, I keep it in my bag and use it as an off-camera flash or an on-camera flash. It folds FLAT and is really lightweight while still being made to last, which was one of my concerns before buying it. Thank you to the Amazon community for the solutions!)The firm spines perform a good job of keeping the illuminating area's perimeter immobile despite their stiffness. I discovered that the standard 9x7" size was ideal for a packable solution. It's neither too big, which would make the light too harsh, nor is it too little, which would make it bulky when shooting. Additionally, the camera's top-heavy weight is reduced.Before you dismiss the velcro attachment, let me just add that it feels just as solid and secure as anything else I've tried on the flash's head. Even before the light reaches the main diffusion region, there is a tiny fabric flap within that serves as another diffuser. In addition to being a gimmicky additional component, it stops the softbox from slipping up into the softbox. It can be a little tricky, but it attaches to the softbox's inside and can be hidden if you don't want to use it. I like the word "versatile." It's a little simpler to use than Gary Fong's method, but it's a more direct light with fewer light stops lost, which helps preserve battery life. Recently, I've actually preferred using it over the GF.Works well with comparable Nikon flashes as well as Yongnuo 560iv and 600ex ii lights.Again, you won't get a particularly soft light from these, but given how little and light they are, it would be crazy not to bring one anyway.

The new Godox S-type Speedlite Bracket takes horizontal flash head mounting another step further though, by clamping the flash head, rather than strapping it in place as the Phottix bracket does. As an optimized patented product, Godox S-type speedlite bracket is superior: all-in-one, smaller size, portable design, no assembly/disassembly, and easy mounting system. Quickly add Bowens-mount lighting accessories to get creative lighting effects.

I finally took this out of the packaging and mounted it on a softbox that has a bracket of its own. I have a few Bowens S mount brackets in my collection, but this one is without a doubt the nicest. What I enjoy is this:1. I can place my flash inside the modifier rather than attempting to align it with the opening. You understand what I mean if you've ever tried to line up a speedlight on a trigger with a softbox's hole. It's fantastic when you connect a naked bulb to a stripbox with this bracket!2. Real S mount; it is easy to attach a large softbox to this and you can hear a click when it is locked in. No longer will rotating your softbox cause it to fall off into your hand.3. Everything that touches your speedlight is cushioned. Since many of my speedlights have been in existence for a while, this is not a big deal. I want to maintain the good looks of my four newer SB-910s for as long as I can.4. If the head of the speedlight is positioned facing the same way as the modifier dimension, the head of the stripbox will point vertically rather than horizontally. Sounds insignificant, yet it contributes to a rectangle modifier's even covering.5. The tilt handle contains a release button that allows you to turn it out of the way. Even though it prevents the softbox from rotating, I have brackets with handles that are stuck wherever they are tight that cost twice as much as this one did.What I dislike is as follows:1. All of it is plastic. At least it appears to be quite sturdy and nicely finished without rough edges or flash, which is good because I know at $20 it will be plastic. Nothing on it appears to cut me, and everything on it fits and functions.2. I don't have a problem with the tilt adjustment, but when I didn't want to mess with it, I put it on a light stand swivel. You won't notice if you use it with a shoot-through umbrella, but you will if you use a snoot with a tight grid.I really appreciate this overall; the design clearly reflected careful consideration.

These Gary Fong Collapsible Speed Mount Light Sphere (White) light modifiers have been mentioned to me in the past, but I have chosen to ignore them due to their high price and appearance as a gimmick. Although I occasionally observe other photographers using these at events, they never seemed to be the most common, so I dismissed them until recently. I was going to be utilizing a lot of on-camera flash at a function, maybe with no light bounce choices, which I detest but realize is sometimes required. I chose to test out one of them.Along with the little flash softbox diffuser, I thought maybe this less expensive item might do. In my first session, I used the tiny softbox, and while I prefer it to the direct flash light, it didn't really fill the space as much as I would have liked. I tried the Fong Sphere in my subsequent session and was delighted. Although the dispersion of the light on and around the subject was extremely pleasant, it did require a little bit more light power because some light is lost to the sides and rear.I was glad I had spent the extra money to acquire the sphere because this truly made the situation a lot more bearable. In the future, I'm sure I'll use it more, which takes me to another important aspect of the field. It is made of a wonderful thickness of rubber material with a strong plastic top, and as long as it is not left out in the sun to bake and dry out, I believe that this material structure will survive for a very long time.

The diffuser of this generation fastens firmly and does a great job of dampening the light. Good craftsmanship and materials are used. It should last for a very long time.If you're not careful, a hot shoe flash unit will emit a beam of light that will make it appear as though you lighted the subject with a miner's headlamp. A diffuser prevents that issue by softening and enlarging the beam. But nothing is free. Exposure loss of one or two stops is likely to result.The correction will be automated if you are using TTL flash metering. You must remember to compensate while using manual mode.Additionally, there will be wall and ceiling bounce in a tiny space (a studio or even a living room), and if the walls are not white, there may even be a color cast. No bounce if in a bigger space, like during a wedding. When you first receive the unit, practicing at home won't adequately prepare you for that bigger area.

NOTE: This is simply my view of the product; I'm not a professional. This 6x8 softbox, which I bought for my Canon flash last year, has served its purpose well for such an inexpensive softbox. You'd be shocked at how much it alters your images for only a few dollars. It has held up well despite some abuse from being shoved inside my suitcase and being thrown around. I've included a video review, which I urge you to view for a more thorough analysis. You add the softbox to it after attaching it to your light using a velcro ring. It also has 2 openings in the rear, which is excellent because it lets in less light. You have a few alternatives to choose from. Learning lighting and the various techniques was the largest challenge for me as a hobbyist photographer, and it has truly benefited me. The only reason I am deducting one star is because there should be a little more space between the flash and the box's front so that the light can fill the space better. It's a little difficult to attain that distance given the way it's structured. The image you see here depicts an ideal softbox at a respectable distance. Mine is a bit more smashed, so to speak, and isn't quite like that. Overall, I enjoy the product and am giving it four stars for both its usability and robustness. Please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any. Please let me know if you found my review useful. Together, let's continue to make wiser purchasing decisions. Thanks for reading, and remember to always be safe and have fun shopping!

For greater range and spectral highlights use the silver size.
It helps to reduce hard background shadows and eliminates the annoying red eye effect.
Please understand that this goods is one reflector with two sides(white/silver), not two reflectors
For soft indirect flash light use the pure white size.

I purchased this item to use with my Altura Nikon TTL flash, which I also purchased from Amazon. A flash cap diffuser that works better in non-wide angle pictures was provided with that flash. I read positive reviews about this diffuser when I first saw it, so I reasoned that for less than $10, I couldn't go wrong.I have to confess that I adore this. It is incredibly thin, weights nothing, and simply fits on my luggage. It does require two hands to attach to my flash, but once I do, it is firmly held in place. It works incredibly well, especially if you need to disperse light across a wider view if there are multiple subjects to be taken.I can't answer to the durability of this diffuser, but if you treat it with fair care, I don't see any reason why it won't survive for years. I don't believe the elastic will stretch out of shape because you don't keep the diffuser on the flash while you aren't shooting. It really improves the photographs.Recently, when my kids came to visit, my wife and I took them all out to eat. I brought my Nikon DSLR and the Altura flash to the restaurant because we had a private room where I could take pictures. Once I attached this diffuser to the flash, my kids began making fun of the camera. They are unaware of what a diffuser is and are uninterested in learning. However, they too became admirers when they saw the stunning exposures that it enabled me to take. Also gone are the red eyes.Spend the seven dollars and purchase this item.

These seem good. With a Velcro strap, these are straightforward translucent screens that fasten to the flash. My Nikon SB600 fits reasonably well, but not perfectly. I can appreciate that this is a general one-size-fits-all approach, but I believe it may be improved. It does, if it's aimed forward, interfere with the flash range laser, according to some reports. The soft box won't interfere if you bend it downward and slant the flash up. It does make faces appear softer and you don't get the hard reflections on the cheeks and forehead. I took a few pictures with flash straight on, then with a stofen defuser and this soft box.
If you want to dampen the flash of your camera, there are a few things that you can do. One is to use a diffuser, which will soften the light and reduce the intensity of the flash. Another is to use a flash gel, which you can attach to the flash head and will also help to diffuse the light. Finally, you can try using a lower ISO setting on your camera, which will make the flash less likely to go off.
Flash photography can be a great way to add light to a dark scene or to simply capture a moment. Here are a few tips on how to practice flash photography: 1. Use a tripod - This will help keep your camera still and prevent blurriness. 2. Set your camera to manual mode - This will allow you to have more control over the exposure. 3. Experiment with different shutter speeds - A faster shutter speed will freeze the action, while a slower shutter speed will create a blur effect. 4. Use a low ISO - A
If you are using a lightbox to take pictures and don't want any shadows in the shot, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure the lightbox is in a well-lit room with no direct sunlight coming in. Second, position the lightbox so that the light source is directly overhead. Third, use a diffuser to soften the light coming into the lightbox. Fourth, use a reflector to bounce light back into the lightbox. By following these tips, you should be able to get shadow-free photos from your lightbox.
There are a few ways to use a flash diffuser reflector. One way is to hold it in front of the flash head, slightly off to the side, so that the light hits the reflector and then bounces off into the room. This will help to spread the light out and soften the shadows. Another way is to place the reflector on a table or other surface, and then bounce the light off of it into the room. This will also help to spread the light out and soften the shadows.
In photography, a light diffuser is a material used to diffuse or scatter light in a desired direction. There are many types of light diffusers available on the market, each with their own unique properties. The most common type of light diffuser is a translucent panel. Translucent panels diffusers are placed in front of a light source and allow light to pass through them while scattering it in a more even distribution. This type of diffuser is often used in photography studios to provide a more even light source for photography subjects. Other types of light diffusers include reflectors, which reflect light
For events, you can use your camera flash to take photos in low light or to add a bit of light to even out the exposure. You can also use your flash to freeze action or to add some drama to your photos.
