Examples of the Flash Diffusers ;)

I promised Lise to show the effects of the Flash Diffusers I mentioned buying on the 9th of January.
The pictures are from yesterday when I played around with Alice, but I need to do a bit cleaning in my room before I can give Alice her faceup, so this is it for now.

Normal flash

White diffuser

Yellow diffuser

Blue diffuser

 

The less natural light there is, the more clear yellow or blue the motif becomes. On the first picture with the blue diffuser, the sandy color of the dress' shirt shines better through the blue - if that makes sense. It's really a great tool to play with. I like how it's not like a filter you just put on top of the picture, but it's more integrated I think. ^^

The white diffuser gives the picture a more warm feeling in my opinion. Here in Denmark, we have a very cold and clear light so it is normally only in the summer we get a chance at warm light. I think I will be using this diffuser most ;P

Flash Diffuser

I saw a post on I'm Catching Fireflies by Kass, about how to manipulate the in-build flash on your camera. I really found that very interesting and went to my local photo-store to ask if they new the trick. The clerk at the store showed me a special designed Flash Diffuser equipment made for cameras like mine (Nikon D3200). It was not so expensive and included 3 colors: white, blue and orange. You slide the holder piece onto top of the camera, and then attach whatever of the 3 colored diffusers. So easy and it gives an awesome effect! I'll be playing with the Flash Diffusers as soon as Alice is here (muha). :D

Actually, I went to the photo-store to look at objectives. Not that I can afford one, but I was on my way home from my (passed!!) exam, and did not have anything better to do anyway. The clerk recommended me to buy a NIKKOR 40mm f/2,8G Macro lens. It is a bit pricy, so I'll probably not be able to buy it for quite some time, but I actually told him I wanted to photograph dolls and he was all "you can just bring a doll and your camera, then you can try the lens before you decide". That could be quite fun XD

So yeah, I can definitely recommend using Flash Diffusers. ^__^
