We were challenged to use our Speedlite Flash in various ways to take photos. One of our friends from Israel gave us an older guitar as a gift during the holidays, and I decided to admire its beauty for this post.
This first picture was taken with the flash pointing straight at the guitar. Nothing too special, but the light is quite harsh.
The second photo is nice because the lighting isn’t as harsh compared to the first photo because the flash is pointed up at the ceiling, spreading the light out more.
In the third photo, I used the white bounce card to make the guitar and the wall behind it a little more bright, but there isn’t too big of a difference.
The last photo on the bottom is my personal favorite, as I used the flash diffuser to get rid of some harsher shadows and glare on the guitar. This one is my favorite because it is the most accurate to the color of the guitar and the shade of wood it really is.
