Flash Photography

Every photographer looks for perfect light. However, quality of light is seldom ideal. Using flash is always an option. How to use flash light wisely distinguishes a photographer from peers. Here are some tips for flash photography.

Built-in flash is convenient and useful, but the light is often too hard or even harsh for the subject. You can always obtain better effect by using an external flash. The head of an external flash can swivel and rotate to bounce light off walls, ceilings, or reflectors. This softens the light, fills shadows, and spreads the light over a much larger area.

Flashes

   
  Thyristor Twin Flash

 
We carry three external flashes which fit almost all cameras with or without hot-shoe connector. Our Thyristor Twin Flash works with all cameras with hot shoe in manual mode. It has an external reflector that can reflect indirect light onto the subject. This reflector reflects soft and natural lighting with a surface light source and eliminates shadow on your subject. When you shoot directly at your subject, you might switch off the sub-reflector and use single flash only. Its versatile energy-saving thyristor circuit provides you with quicker recycling times, especially when the subject is close.

   
  Automatic Flash

 
Another Automatic Flash we carry uses a light sensor mounted on the front of the flash. It is activated when the flash is triggered by the camera.  It monitors the subject luminance when being illuminated by the flash discharge until it reaches its preset level. (The preset level is determined by the aperture and ISO given to the flash.) The sensor will automatically curtail the flash discharge to provide a correct exposure.  This flash works with all cameras with standard hot shoe connector.

   
  Vivitar 285HV

 

In case you have grasped the basics of flash photography, the Vivitar 285HV will be long-term partner to look for. With manually adjustable magnitude, instead of getting what flash sensor or camera TTL system tells, you get exactly what you want. light intensity at your wish. Guide number is up to 120-ISO 100ft/ 36-DIN 21m. Its vari-power of 1/2, 1/4 and 1/16 allows you to easily adjust the light intensity at your wish. Alternatively, in case of quick shots you may find the automatic sensor very useful. Guide number is up to 120-ISO 100ft/ 36-DIN 21m.

   
  Third-party Hot Shoe Adapter  
The above flashes work with all cameras with standard ISO hot shoe. But if what you have is Konica Minolta camera that has a special hot-shoe connector, you can still use our flashes with the Third-party Hot Shoe Adapter.

Want to flash with TTL metering without paying the premium for TTL flashes from the original manufacturer? We have the Vivitar DM-400MZ for Canon and Nikon DSLR for your choice. The advanced programming and computerized circuit inside allows the flash to read the exposure data obtained from the lens of the camera and gives a suitable magnitude of flash.

   
  Starblitz Auto 1000

It is extremely effective for scientific and medical applications. It offers infinite possibility to creative and natural photography.

It helps reduce over-exposure, red-eye in photos of people as well as changes the angle of the light. We offer two kinds of brackets: a Camera-rotate one and the other Flash-rotate. The former attaches to your camera by tightening the screw against the bottom of the camera while the movable head of the latter allows you to position your flash horizontally or in a vertical position.
