如何使用外闪

感谢张勇的分享，这是一本难得的好书。下面是第一页介绍：

As photographers we’re always looking for perfect light. And yet, the quality of available light isn’t always ideal. It is rarely perfect. But I feel that in using flash wisely, I’m able to enhance or over-ride the available light.
作为摄影者总是追求完美的光线，但是现场可用光的质量却并非总是尽如人意。可以说光线完美的情况是少之又少。但是合理的利用闪光灯你就能够加强甚至覆盖现场的可用光。

With careful use of flash, I am more in control of light, and hence the way my photos will look – than if I had just accepted the existing ambient light.
合理的使用闪光灯你就会对光线的控制更加自如，使你的照片比不用闪光灯时更加耐看。

Instead of waiting for perfect light, I use what I have … and add flash to make the best of the situation.
因此，与其等待好光线出现不如利用你现有的东西—用闪光灯创造出最后的拍摄条件。

A few things we need to get out of the way first :
事先要交待几点：

- These pages were originally written to help other photographers who struggle with on-camera flash. But it was also written as a reaction against the snobbery of the purists who insist on using available light only – even when it looks terrible.
这篇文章是写给那些使用外闪的人看的，当然也是写给即使现场光很差也不肯用闪灯的顽固派看的。

- the photos on the next few pages are all from weddings. However, don’t feel that this only relates to weddings. The techniques here are just as applicable for most fields of photography. It just happens that most of my photography work are weddings, and it was easier for me to find examples from my work.
本文中的图片都是在婚礼上拍摄的，但这并不意味着这些技术只在婚礼上有用，这些技术可以应用到大多数的摄影领域。只是我的工作就是婚礼摄影，所以找婚礼相关的样片对我来说更容易。

- I own and use both Nikon and Canon systems. I have used, or am currently still using the Nikon D2x, D2H, D100, Canon 1Dmk2, 1Dmk2N, and Fuji S2. So the techniques here are, for the most part, system non-specific.
我同时拥有nikon和canon的器材，我曾经使用过的和现在仍在使用的器材有Nikon D2x, D2H, D100, Canon 1Dmk2, 1Dmk2N, 和 Fuji S2。所以此处讨论的技术与所使用的器材系统无关。

- the photos here were all taken with digital cameras. They are immensely helpful tools in learning about the craft of photography. However, the techniques here are just as valid for film cameras.
所有的照片都是用数码相机拍摄。数码相机是学习摄影的利器。当然本文所讲的技术同样适用于胶片摄影。

Also, the images here had very little to no Photoshop work done to them. But I did correct the white balance, and fine-tune exposure and contrast for these photos, as part of my general raw workflow.
这里的图片都没怎么后期处理，只是像我在raw 工作流程里讲的那样，矫正了白平衡并微调了一下曝光和对比度。

- I always use my camera in manual exposure mode for very specific reasons. With flash however, I alternate between TTL flash (if either myself or the subject isn’t static), or manual flash, (if the subject is static in relation to the strobe.) More on this here.
我的相机总是设在手动档。闪光灯的设置则根据情况会有所不同，当拍摄移动物体，或者我自己在移动过程中拍摄时，会将闪光灯设为TTL模式，当拍摄目标为静止时会将闪光灯设为手动模式。更多请参见这里.

- And finally, when I talk about ‘on-camera flash’, I am not talking about the pop-up flash, but a proper dedicated hot-shoe mounted flash.
最后本文是讲外闪相关技术的而不是内闪的。
