Are you tired of all your family and friends looking like zombies with red-eyes when taking photos? The problem is not that zombies have taken over, but your on-camera flash. Red-eye is caused by your flash bouncing off the retina of your subject’s eyes.
One of the best ways to fight off the zombie red-eye is with Complex Lighting Setups that allows you to get the flash either off the camera or at least off-line from your subject’s eyes. An accessory flash such as a Canon speedlight will allow you to raise the flash above your lens minimizing the chance for red-eye.
An accessory flash, such as the Canon speedlight 580EX II which is the latest external flash from Canon, is a sophisticated device that communicates with your Canon DSLR to make a proper exposure. The speedlight and the camera communicate through a TTL Flash Metering System known as "E-TTL" which stands for "Evaluative through the Lens", which fires a pre-flash that the cameras built-in meter uses to determine an exposure.
Beyond eliminating red-eye, this system allows you to sculpt light creatively to make beautiful flash images. A key to nice flash images is the softness of the light falling in the subject. The built-in flash on most cameras is hard, which is why your images not only have red-eye they also look like a mug-shot.
While the Pop Up Flash Diffuser Nikon is capable of acting as a master to control additional speedlight flashes, the 480EX II and the 270EX are not. Improve your flash photography by getting the flash above or off the camera with an accessory flash such as a Canon speedlight.
One strategy to soften the light is to bounce the light off of a surface allowing the light to spread out and to fall on your subject indirectly. The head of the speedlight has the ability to swivel both from side-to-side to bounce the light off a side wall, and to swivel the light upward to bounce the light off of a ceiling. Bouncing the light off such a large surface spreads and softens the light. You can visit voeloon.com for more information.
