  • Camera & Flash on manual Mode (starts with 1/8 power)
  • ISO: 100
  • Aperture: f/4.0
  • Shutter Speed: 1/250
  • the flash is 45 degree to one side of the subject, pointed down at 45 degree as well
  • the flash is 3ft away from the subject head
  • with only one light source, increase the distance between the light source and the background will make the background darker
  • take test shots and looks for hot spot (which is the over-exposed area that will be difficult to repair)
  • 4.0    100    1/8 (starting point)
  • 4.0    100    1/16 (too bright)
  • increase the distance of the light and the subject (too bright)
  • 2.8    100    1/8 (too dim)
  • 4.0    200    1/8 (too dim)
  • 4.0    100    1/4 (too dim)
