I
always blink in photos. Can you
help?
|
|
Yes,
and we'll help you in two ways. First, we
take multiple shots of group poses --
almost always we get one picture where
nobody blinks.
Second,
we keep the sun out of your eyes while
posing. These poses were BACKLIT BY THE
SUN (on purpose -- to keep the sun out
of your eyes.) This greatly helps
folks who squint or blink in bright
light.
Backlighting
normally gives heavy shadows that obscure
details. By using professional grade flash
equipment during the exposure,and knowing
how to adjust it, photographer Doug has
"opened up" the shadows to show details
you'd otherwise miss. Details like faces,
clothing, boquets.

Photos on
this page demonstrates how Doug uses Fill Flash to maintain
details in the shadows.Fill flash works best for experienced
photographers who know when to use it and how to control it.
Fill flash that's too bright will burn out white details in
wedding dresses. Fill flash that's too weak leaves heavy
shadows. The automatic settings in digital cameras tend to
give poor exposures in tricky lighting -- like the poses you
see on this page. Doug knows how & when to use manual
exposures instead of automatic exposure.

Doug
took these wedding photos in Old Sacramento near
the California Railroad Museum.
Q.
What is
"fill flash" --- and why is it important for
wedding photography?
Answer: Professional
photographers like Doug use fill flash to reveal
details inside shadows, and to soften
shadows.
Professional cameras, when
used with pro-grade flash equipment, can enable
fill flash. Amateur cameras advertise they can
perform fill flash, but it's not really true. They
don't have enough flash power to illuminate backlit
portraits more than a few feet distant from the
camera.
Above: Beautiful
portrait of Sandra has the sun behind her. Just the
right amount of electronic flash keeps her face
from going into shadow, while retaining detail in
the Capitol grounds behind her.
