Great site as always! This is a rad tutorial.

I was curious if for this specific example if you were using TTL or manual flash settings.

You do a wonderful job explaining your camera settings; but I was wondering about the flash.

Thanks!!!!

Dude, that is so cool. Very simple way to combine knowledge I already had. I’m going to use this more often now.

Cool story about Karen

Thanks for this.

Great post. The term “Belgian Manbounce” made me laugh.

My model (16 months) had a double ear infection, so short attention spans. But your tips did the trick… nicer and softer light with off the wall bouncing.

@Anton: My motto is “everything is photo gear ”

@John: it’s just another incarnation of the good old drag-the-shutter-trick

@marco: Creativity is often born out of restrictions. I’m planning a longer post about that soon.

I always read your posts through Rss feed, and I often find myself smiling while I read.

Also this is one of my favourite posts because you demostrate how to master the light even with imposed restrictions like on camera flash or compromises to choose from.

Once more, thanks for sharing.

Ha ha ha – love the belgian man bounce comment!

Also good point about the shutter speed – I totally forgot that I could use such a low number. Thanks for the reminder!

Wow Bert! I always bounce flash wherever I can, if bouncing off the roof I often end up being further back to get better lighting, but walls work well as you say.
I never though of bouncing off a person though, and am impressed how well it works

The sets of photos in this post really show how simply you can improve flash photography – a great post
