EXAMPLES OF TWIN FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

The twin flash's arms create and control lighting for dramatic effect.
A
With arm
If there is an object such as leaf near the lens, the flash illumination
will be blocked when the arm is not used. With an arm, natural light-
ing conditions can be obtained.
Top light only Side light only
Strong shadows can be softened by using
the diffuser attached to the flashtube.

B
Without arm
Top and side light
C With arm D Without arm
To accent detail and give depth, illu-
minate the subject from the sides
using the arms.
E With arm F Without arm
If a close subject is illuminated from
the side using arms, strong shadows
can occur. Strong flash illumination
from behind the subject can cause
flare. This condition may occur with
a 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens with flash-
tubes mounted on arms.
