One Flash!: Great Photography with Just One Light

Amazing images are possible with just one flash! Today’s speedlights may be small but they are mighty…that is, if you know how to use them. In this book, flash photography pro Tilo Gockel teaches the secrets to capturing beautifully lit images using just one flash! The first section of the book provides a crash course in flash photography covering lighting techniques, equipment, and understanding the nuances of flash lighting. Then, through a series of 26 workshops covering everything from people to objects to food to special techniques, Tilo demonstrates how it’s done. Included are example images, lighting diagrams, setup instructions, and even post-processing tips. You’ll learn how a single flash can not only illuminate, but also add color and project patterns on a scene, and how easy it is to turn a single flash into multiple light sources using reflectors and mirrors to multiply and redirect the flash. You will also learn how to use the flash detached from the camera's hot shoe and how to repeatedly fire the flash for special effects. Tilo’s practical style and simple explanations of technology will enable you to get started quickly with flash photography and to achieve fantastic results.  Topics include:

• Combining flash with ambient light
• Using shades, reflectors, and mirrors
• Flash composite techniques
• Light painting with Xenon flash devices
• Simulating continuous light with stroboscopic flash and modeling flash
• Use of low-cost non-TTL flashes as well as TTL flashes
• Battery-powered DIY bare-bulb flash

只需一個閃光燈就能拍攝出令人驚艷的影像！如今的小型閃光燈功能強大，只要你知道如何使用。在這本書中，閃光燈攝影專家Tilo Gockel教授使用單一閃光燈捕捉美麗照片的秘訣！書中的第一部分提供了閃光燈攝影的速成課程，包括照明技巧、設備以及理解閃光燈照明的細微差異。然後，通過一系列26個工作坊，涵蓋從人物到物品再到食物以及特殊技巧的所有內容，Tilo展示了如何實現這一切。書中包含示例圖片、照明示意圖、設置說明，甚至還有後期處理技巧。你將學習到單一閃光燈不僅可以照亮場景，還可以添加顏色和投射圖案，以及如何使用反射板和鏡子將單一閃光燈轉化為多個光源，進行倍增和重定向閃光燈。你還將學習如何將閃光燈從相機的熱靴上拆卸下來，以及如何重複觸發閃光燈以實現特殊效果。Tilo實用的風格和對技術的簡單解釋將使你能夠快速入門閃光燈攝影並取得出色的成果。
