I need to redo the album and add the Lightsphere I just picked up, but I was curious last year how the various light modifiers I had picked up over the years really affected the shadows, so I made an album with my Olympus C-2100UZ camera to investigate this:īracket to keep the light above the subject (the camera flips) and a diffuser to soften the light. As people have suggested, bouncing light off of the ceiling gives more diffused light. It sounds like you are using the flash straight ahead, and not using light modifiers.

If you're getting harsh shadows, it must be due to something else. Ify you bounce the flash the shadow in portrait and landscape mode should be similar, only difference would be the shadow being visible on one side of the subject in portrait mode due to the flash being off centered.
