How to Eliminate Shadows
I have attached a photo I have taken like this. I have an EOS 300v and a dedicated Ex 420Ex Flash unit. Any idea let us know, and make it simple - I know I should go out and buy studio lights but I don't have that sort of money right now. So a cheap and alternative way to minimise shadows. 9/17/2003 4:56:36 AM |

Without spending any money for a flash bracket/connecting cord, or studio lights and stands: (a) don't pose your subjects so close to a wall or backdrop. (b) use the bounce flash feature of the 420EX. 9/17/2003 7:20:10 AM |

Aravinda - The suggestions Jon gave you are good ones, but in addition to them, I would suggest purchasing a small translucent plastic box that goes over the flash head - made by STO-FEN. (www.stofen.com). This inexpensive device creates wonderfully softened flash light. I use it on my flash just about all the time and love it. You can also create your own, if you can get a translucent material that is bendable to make a 'box' to fit over your flash head - but Sto-fen's is perfect and is made to fit your particular flash.
