Flash Key
In all lighting there is a light that is the main or ‘key’ light. Often this is the brightest light like the sun, but not always. The “key” light is always the dominant light and that makes flash key the brightest or main light. When you take the disposable camera to the birthday party and snap a picture, or you have set your digital camera on P for program, turned on the flash and snapped the same photo, the result usually is a flash key photo. This means that the subject has been brightly illuminated by the flash and with little regard for the background. (Remember 1/60 limit in P mode?) These are the “happy snaps” we all take at various events to record them. The result is often a flashed subject and dark background and it means flash was the key light.The content you are trying to access is only available to members. Sorry.
