RVNN.TV: What's Wrong With This Picture ?   /     Lighting your Photos

Natural light is not always our friend. Dennis teaches us tips and tricks about modifying light as we travel

Redirect ambient light – with a reflector.

• Use a folding 5 in 1 reflector
• Use a piece of white foam core
• Use a piece of black foam core as a flag
• Use a translucent reflector to diffuse direct sunlight
• Use a black card to provide shade from direct sunlight
• Use Artificial to supplement natural light
• Use an on-camera flash for “fill light”
• Bounce the light from the on-camera flash for softer fill light
• Use a deflector on your on-camera flash
• Use a diffuser on your on-camera flash
• Use a strobe for fill light
• Use a softbox on the strobe to diffuse the light
• Use a beauty dish, with and without a sock to provide soft light
• Use an umbrella to bounce or diffuse the strobe light
• Use an LED light panel
• Use filters on your lens
• Use a neutral density filter to cut down on the brightness of sunlight
• Use a circular polarizer to control reflections and cut down on light intensity
• Use a lens shade to reduce lens flair
