If you want to use the outdoor flash light portraits, there are many issues that you must pay special attention to, such as metering methods, procedures and apertures, shutter control, these are the key achievements that affect flashgraphy.
Value and the exposure metering
The usage of outdoor flash light is quite like that of studio light, it is also very similar in the metering process, but the former is mainly used for outdoor scene, the latter is more suitable for indoor fill light. Before the use of outdoor flash light, you should conduct photometric operation, except the metering for the model itself, the control of darkness of the background environment and the concentration are also an interesting science.
Determining ISO sensitivity
ISO sensitivity can be the basis of metering work, before using the light meter to determine the exposure value, it is recommended to fix the ISO sensitivity that you want to use, then make follow-up metering action. Generally using ISO 100 to 200 degrees for photographing is more than enough when matching the use of outdoor flash light in the daytime outdoor environment, if encountering the sunset environment or indoor scene, when you photograph with outdoor flash light, it is recommended to increase the ISO slightly, ISO 400 is the highest sensitivity that the outdoor flash light commonly uses because if the ISO is higher, it may lead to overexposure of the main subject.
Shutter speed and background shading
Many people's concepts of the shutter speed just limit in the function of condensing the main subject, but in the process of outdoor flash light photography, the shutter speed is the key to affect the background. To make it simple, outdoor flash light will emit synchronous flash to illuminate the Model when the camera shutter is turned on, when the flash is finished, the remaining time before the shutter is put away is the time that the camera can receive on-site ambient light.
Simple metering process of outdoor flash light
Step.1 first use the power cable to connect the outdoor flash lamp with the battery, you should make sure it really tightens to secure.
Step.2 insert the plug of the receiver of the wireless synchronization trigger in Sync of battery for synchronization jack.
Step.3 wireless synchronization triggers the sender, then load on the top of the camera's flash hot shoe holder.
Step.4 before the start of metering, you can choose to use Cord wired mode, or make the light meter and outdoor flash light reach synchronization with non-Cord mode.
Step.5 place the meter light in front of Model's face, after aiming the white sphere at head position of the outdoor flash metering, then press the metering button for metering.
Step.6 Finally, set the camera to manual exposure mode M, follow to input in light meter sequentially can get the metering values.
This process is very simple, after you learn , you can photograph, then use photo editor to do photo montage to handle the photographed photos, then you can upload the beautiful photos. What are you waiting, do it now!
