When shading an event, it’s really important that we do light the people we’re photographing correctly. While most cameras these days come with a flash, you’ve got to keep in mind that the in-built flash on your camera has a range of maybe four to five feet. It’s not really going to power the lighting for your subjects correctly. Using a speed light, or an external flash, which we can clip on to our camera, allows us to get a lot easier lighting of our image.
It’s important, though, not to fire the flash directly at the subject, you’re going to get very, very, harsh light and it’s going to contrast horribly, very bright subject, very dark background. I like to do two things, take my ISL up to about 800 for the purposes of the photograph, and I want to redirect my flash. If I have an assistant shooting with me, I’ll use something like a reflector. These are very, very simple, and allow me to direct the flash directly on to my subject for a softer light. Quite often though, I’m not going to have an assistant with me when photographing an event.
You can direct that flash off the ceiling, you can direct that flash off another wall,or you can even direct it off your own shirt, assuming you’re wearing a white shirt, not a clack one. Like I said, it is very important that you don’t direct the light directly at the subject, especially with something like a wedding where the bride’s wearing white. Most wedding dresses have a lot of detail, and firing the flash directly on to a wedding dress is going to blow it out and lose all the detail. With very, very, very simple technique, and redirecting your light, you’re sure to get fantastic light at the next event you photograph.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
