But there are other gifts for photographers that can of course not only be given at Christmas.
A very versatile tool for getting better images with speedlights is the so-called FlashBender by Rogue. This thing has the advantage that the flash area is enlarged and the flash light is therefore softer. Doesn't make a frog a king, but for reportage photography it often brings µ more. It can also be shaped as a spot or ensure that no direct flash light falls on the object to be photographed. I have already I showed an example a while ago.
By the way, the FlashBender was originally designed by the photographer David Honl. These are the next two products that I can highly recommend. The Lightning foil set is actually the best thing I have ever bought in this area. You use it on the flash with the strap, which also has the advantage that it leaves no traces on the flash when you no longer need the foils. The flash foil set contains the most important foils for color correction of flash light. And twice as much. In great, solid quality. I use the foils really intensively and haven't had to replace any yet.
So, if you still don't have anything for your photographer friend for the next opportunity to give out gifts, just take one Umbrella tilter. Always works 🙂
Must show this item to my husband so he will know better what to give me as a gift for Christmas. 🙂
My hobby is Spotting.
Whether flash accessories help with spotting…?
