Electronic Flash Units: Add To On-Camera Lighting Capabilities

摘要

Whether you own a 35mm or digital SLR camera, a dedicated external flash unit can be a valuable accessory. Not many new models were unveiled at photokina, and three of the four were macro ringlights. These have been gaining in popularity for extra lighting in extreme close-up photography of products, nature subjects, and medical/dental applications, but they can also be useful for some portraiture. In addition to those products, I found a more conventional high-tech Metz unit as well as a couple of very useful LumiQuest accessories for serious flash photography.
