Multiple
Flash
Photography
If you have another flash unit, you can use it as a second-
ary light source for multiple flash photography. When you
use only one flash unit
in
front of a subject, harsh shad-
ows may be produced or light may not reach the back-
ground. But by using more than one flash unit, you can
solve these problems.
With the
8B-16
and F3-series,
FA,
FE2,
F-501/N2020,
F-301/N2000,
FG
or Nikonos-V camera combination, both
TIL
and manual multiple flash photography are possible.
In
both cases,
one
important fact
to
remember
is
that the effect
produced by using more than one flash unit depends on the
lighting ratio or balance of illumination between flash units.

first
you
should determine the role of each flash unit,
deciding which flash will
be
the main flash and which the
secondary.
To
create pictures with high contrast, give different
ex-
posure to the subject and background by adjusting the
aperture, shutter speed and/or camera-and flash-to-sub-
ject distance.
