Creative photographers don’t wait around for better weather. Bundle up and take full advantage of this time of year.
When changing the flash power, it’s important to remember that you are not actually altering the amount of light a flash emits. The light burst a flash fires is constant. When reducing your flash power, you are actually just changing the duration of time of bursts of light the flash emits. So, increasing your flash’s power means you’re making the flash stay lit just a bit longer.
