Fill Flash for Outdoors. Why? It looks bad. | |
I think on-camera fill flash doesn\'t look good, yet I see so many professional photos which use it. Even Gary Phong Puffers and Lightspheres won\'t make your on camera flash any good. All I see is flat lighting and harsh chin-shadowing.
Why don\'t people ever just add +1 or +2 to their exposure compensation instead? It\'s less work and looks better. Examples:
Here\'s a simple into the sun shot using +1.5 exposure compensation. Fill flash would have made a very different picture.
Here\'s +0.7 compensation shooting into the sun again.
Now, I\'m not against using flash outdoors. In fact I believe the best photos use a combination of natural and supplemented flash. But this mounted-on-camera fill flash thing has got to die!
Anyone agree or disagree with me?
