Tips Avoid Blowout Caused by Flash - Do you are ever run into trouble when using the built-in Flash on the camera? Are the photos you produce 'Blow-out' and you feel a flash was too strong so that the object become over? What to do when it finds a situation like this? When we try to visit in the image share sites like flickr, there are many who experience this condition (blow-out), and indeed most of the photos were produced using a pocket camera or a Point and Shoot. Why pocket camera? Built-in Flash because pocket camera features minimal controls, either on flash power or flash light power and setting the direction of light. Unlike the External Flash on DSLR camera that can be directed to our liking. Here are some tips on using the built-in flash on the camera point and shoot or DSLR you can do: Think of Built-in Flash as your secondary light source Always position the flash as a secondary light source, surely there must when shooting ambient light is not it? Ambient light is the light that is in shooting place, such as light bulbs, solar light and others.

Many of the photographs 'blow-out' because of the distance the photographer is too close to the object image.

For the last six years photographer Steve Garrington has spent countless hours documenting the oceanic events surrounding a single lighthouse in Porthcawl, Wales. Built in 1860, the lighthouse itself is pretty run-of-the-mill, but the events that unfold around it as stormy winds sweep in from the Bristol Channel are anything but ordinary. Because of the point's unique sloped design, crashing waves are easily launched to extraordinary heights, especially during bad weather. It's a wonder the structure is even standing after all these years. You can explore more of his photography on Flickr, specifically his waves album.
