Why You Should Use A Flash Diffuser with Your Camera
As a budding photographer, you definitely own at least one digital SLR, along with several lenses and an Olympus Flash. Although you probably take most of your pictures during the daytime, you do, or will eventually, take some in low-light scenarios, like bars and lounges.
Because of this, using an Olympus Flash with your Olympus camera is important, as is learning how to use it properly. There are times when not using a flash works, but it is generally an important addition to your photography equipment.
Your on-camera flash is easy to use, but creates a problem. On my Olympus E-510, the internal flash is not strong. As a result, I purchased an Olympus Flash FL-50, which has really improved my photography technique.
However, this Olympus flash is still very strong and results in sharp shadows, which does not result in pictures I like looking at. As an example, if you take a photograph of a person standing up on a wall, the flash can create a dark shadow on the wall, which makes the person look bigger than they actually are. Finally, I decided to buy a flash diffuser, and my sto-fen omnibounce is now permanently attached to my flash. It is a little white box that is perfect for spreading the light around.
Flash Diffuser will save you!
Before I purchased a diffuser, my flash was too bright.
The flash diffuser spreads the light. It blurs the flash light around so that it will not strike your subject immediately. By blurring the light, it also creates a more natural touch, which is great to have when using flashes. In addition, it allows you to give your photograph a more elegant look without reducing the flash brightness. This aids with any fill flash issues you may have previously had.
Buying a Flash Diffuser
As I have already said, I have an omnibounce diffuser, which does a more professional job than the diffuser with my Olympus FL-50. There exist other bigger diffusers as well that can be used with your Olympus Flash.
