Flash in Daylight…HP not PS…what, What, WHAT?

Filed under: Techniques — shrewspeaks @ 11:07 pm

Jenfera was out snapping a few fall foliage photos (gotta love alliteration). Anyway, she took the same photo with and without flash. NYIP recommends using your flash as fillflash for details on bright sunny days so that your colors are not completely washed out and details aren’t lost in high contrast shadows. Jenfera has depicted this phenom beautifully…

That’s something huh? Thanks, Jenfera.

If you don’t have Photoshop and don’t want Photoshop…there are some means to enhancing your photos available. Please check out Music Maven’s section of Shrew’s Shutters Webgallery for more comparisons with the HP software…she has pomegranits and roses and gates and and..I thank her.

Where is the webgallery…you can find the link under blogroll ———-> over there.—–>

  1. Well someone ought to tell PDub ’cause the girl swears she never uses a flash… EVAH. This is amazing. The flash shot is WAY better. I would have thought it would have washed it out completely. Nice job!

  2. Oops. Didn’t see MM’s photos before I posted. Huge difference. Lenny looks so much more vibrant and the background much brighter in the after. I gotta start learning how to use iPhoto ‘08.

  3. I’m loving Lenny too! There is so much more detail in the in the after picture. He really jumps out at you.

    As for my pictures, it is indeed P’dub’s fault that I have been banishing flash for the most part these days. For some reason, mine was set back at autoflash on Sunday when I took these, and this was the only photo it came on for. This leaf was behind my shed in the shadows. I used to be a big fan of fill-flash for outdoors, and I sort of forgot all about it until now. It’s also great for outdoor portraits, especially when the sun is behind your subjects.
