Sound Shooters: Camera Flash Off and On

By Hitomi Dames

Our cat is very camera shy and hates to have her picture taken.

When she sees me holding a camera, she usually yawns and turns her back on me. Or she closes her eyes, especially when the flash fires. You can see my old posts from my old blog.

♦No Flash

So I had to approach her little by little.

Flash not fired, ISO 320, FL 57 mm, f-2.8, 1/200

♦ Flash On

And then I turned on the flash and shot. :D

Flash fired, ISO 320, FL 55 mm, f-2.8, 1/200

Then I quickly got at her eye level and got a closeup shot with flash on. :D

Flash fired, ISO 320, FL 70 mm, f-2.8, 1/250

The camera flash and sun light from back made a very nice portrait.

All the images above are not processed at all to show you the difference. Here is the processed image. I  gave it a little warm color. A little makes a big difference.

Thank you Momo for not closing your eyes!
