Ring flash light as a way to get rid of shadows when shooting close-up:

It is also possible to overcome the problem of the intensity of shadows by preparing an electronic flashlight lamp in a ring shape in a ring searchlight, in the middle of which is a hole suitable for the wide diameter of the photographic lens that is placed through this hole (Fig. 222). Or fake currencies, for example.

Different ways to use flash light

1- If the flashlight is placed in its usual position next to or on top of the camera, strong shadows will appear directly behind the objects, in addition to flat lighting, just like any front lighting from one source only.

2- If the flashlight is placed far from the camera, shadows will appear far from the body or separated from it.

3- If the flickering light is directed towards the ceiling of the room, the lighting will be distributed throughout the room, which results in the final removal of shadows.

4- It is also possible to take advantage of one searchlight to perform the work of two light sources, one main and the other auxiliary, by lifting the searchlight from the top of the camera and directing it towards a white reflective surface located on the other side of the body, thus representing the flashlight as a main source of illumination and representing the white reflective surface As a secondary light source, this is a step towards the distribution of illumination despite imaging with one flashlight lamp.

e- The photographer may wish to make the back of the image very bright, or completely get rid of the appearance of any shadows behind the body, and then use more than one lamp and direct one of them towards the back of the image from behind the subject to be photographed. If he wants to make the backside of the picture also bright, all he has to do is put a white board behind the body.

6- If he is not satisfied with lighting the body with only one source. In the previous case, there is nothing wrong with combining the two previous methods together, by using a white reflective surface on the other side of the body to represent this surface as a secondary light source with another lamp directed towards the back of the image, as if in this case we are using three light sources to distribute the lighting.

7- If the body is backlit by a strong main light source. And we wanted to get rid of the shadows resulting from this first source. It is possible to achieve this by using flash light to illuminate the shadow areas.

8- In the case of photographing large areas that the flash light source may not be able to illuminate all of them in a consistent manner, the camera is fixed on a stand, and the photographer walks around this place carrying the searchlight source, erasing multiple parts of it, and from separate places, provided that no rays fall on the surface of the lens. directly . This method works perfectly when there are no moving objects and the flash light is the main source of lighting.

Photographing large areas with flash light at night

Sometimes there are some problems when wanting to photograph wide places and large areas with flashing light at night (such as photographing a street, a large corridor, or a wide hall), as close objects appear very bright when compared to those far from the light source, and here you follow the following steps.

1- The camera shall be installed on a stand after opening the shutter at the T mark.

2- Hold the flashlight in the hand and illuminate all parts of the space required to be photographed in several repeated batches and in different locations without directing the light towards the lens directly and without changing the position of the camera. It would not harm the photographer to move easily in front of the camera, as the areas that are recorded in the image are those that are illuminated by the searchlight in every pulse, and as long as the person carrying the searchlight does not appear in front of the light, he will not appear in the image. The number of flashes depends on the area that will be photographed, for example it may take about six or more. Flashes of flashing light to photograph a large hall, and this number increases if the space increases. That is less if the space decreases.
