more "invisible flash"

Another test trying to imitate natural light. One of these pictures is done with purely window light. The other is done with almost entirely light from the flash. The exposure was stopped down 2 stops, and then flash added in to replace it. While it isn't particularly useful here, the exercise was to imitate natural light. In this case the flash is being shot into the closed window blind. The practical application would be to use this technique when there isn't enough ambient light or the light does not come from the proper direction.



This photo shows what the photo looks like lit with ambient light only. All the light beyond this was lit with the flash.
