Video Blog 3 – Panasonic GX1 Bounce Flash

Bounced flash looks about 100 billion times better than direct flash for most subjects. And that’s not hyperbole. The texture and dimension flattening effect of bright light landing from straight ahead just sucks the life out of pretty much any image.

Example:

P1010635_DMC-GX1_45 mm_ISO 800_1-160 sec at f - 1.8
Panasonic GX1  & Olympus 45mm 1.8  800iso  f/1.8  1/160  direct built-in flash

P1010636_DMC-GX1_45 mm_ISO 800_1-160 sec at f - 1.8
Panasonic GX1  & Olympus 45mm 1.8  800iso  f/1.8  1/160  bounced built-in flash

If you cannot see the difference here, then please give up photography Smile

Anyway … I recorded a video blog to discuss this … enjoy …
