上周末在沙龙听了John Li的闪光灯讲座，收获不少，尤其对闪光灯M设置启发颇深。周日自己实践了一下，传几张作业，我都是手动设置相机和闪光，是裸光，感觉很硬。希望大家点评，谢谢！

感觉是硬了点。不过美女漂亮

学以致用，好！

请讲讲心得体会。

Harsh? That is because your flash appears to be stronger than the ambient light. You may need to reduce the flash power or reduce the shutter speed a little bit (i.e. slower). By reducing the shutter speed, you are actually changing the flash-to-ambient light ratio to lower ratio value.

Another way to reduce the hardness is to use a white board behind the flash and let it bounce off from it. However, since there is no ceiling/wall there you will be reducing a lot of flash power doing like that and you may run into not-having-enough-flash-light. If you have an assistance, have him/her hold a white board 45degree next to you and have the flash pointed to the board so that the light will bounce off the white board and land on the subject. This way, the light will be a lot softer and pleasant.

The trick is to mix the proper amount of flash/ambient light and to have the flash light appears soft (by converting it from a small flash head source into a much bigger source (the white board)

Hope this help.

是啊，很硬，我需要好好学习，争取不硬。

谢谢，消化老师课堂上教的东西才能有长进啊，但看来我悟性还不够，还太硬。

体会就是手动调闪光灯能扩大用光余地，似乎比自动要好，虽然硬，但比我以前拍的有不同效果，但明显自己技术不行，接下来还得多多练习。

我太感动了能得到高手如此详细地指导，太谢谢了！调节好闪光和环境配景光之比可以让闪光看起来软一点，这让我有顿开茅塞的感觉。谢谢！
我下次就用你指点的方法去练如何去降低和抓合适的光比，还是用裸灯试试。
等学会点就接下来去买伞。

再次谢你的指点！

大侠啊，我是在练，还处在追求形式的阶段，以后才能有资格去注重内容。这周末再去练练。谢谢你的讲座，可惜短了点。

以后沙龙有类似的技术讲座，我一定多多参加来求学。

Ben's learning spirit is worth praising. Apply what you learn in the classroom is the best way to advance your photo skills. Next time if you're not sure about the flash output, just use the bracketing method. For exampe, the flash output in picture#2 is too strong and it overpowers the nice backlight. Dial down the flash power and take another picture. Dial down the flash power yet another level and take another picture. It's mostly trial and error. Then, pick the one you think is the most natural. Remember how you did it and repeat.

谢谢James的鼓励和指点。

我在上周末的下午将小女儿午睡后抓来试验，她一脸不高兴，但我似乎有点进步，放上来再请高手们拍砖指点，谢谢。
