Photographs taken with the flash attached to the camera are flat as shown in photo . In such cases, remove the flash from the camera and position it to obtain a more three- dimensional effect as shown in photo

.

Photo was taken using the cam- era’s built-in flash and the flash locat- ed separately from the camera, with a light intensity of 1:2 respectively to produce a soft gradation between light and dark, and natural shadows. When taking this type of photograph with a single lens reflex camera, the camera and the flash unit are most commonly connected by cable. This flash eliminates the need for a cable to transmit signals to the flash unit by using the light of the flash itself as a signal. This type of flash control is referred to as ‘wireless (remote) flash’. The proper exposure is deter- mined automatically by the camera.
