volo 0 #1 June 2, 2006 Was wondering if anybody had any good tips with shooting inside the tunnel with a flash. I was inside the tunnel shooting some flyers, but it seemed that the plexiglass reflection and all the multiple lights interfered with how the picture came out (I'm shooting with a Canon digital SLR and Canon Speedflash).Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #2 June 2, 2006 Just a though, but that might be too much flash with all the plexiglass in there I would try one or two this first, use bounce flash or a diffuser if that was still too much I might just try using the stock camera pop up flash that may give you what you need with too much glare.

alw 0 #3 June 2, 2006 If you mean inside the chamber, shoot from a low angle or high angle not directly across. If you mean outside the chamber, use a black "donut" of neoprene or something similar wrapped around the lens hood and blaock all ambient light from outside the chamber from bouncing on the glass. Also shoot at verticle angles. Another trick is to use a faster film or setting and put a condom (a real condom - unlubricated) over the flash. It simlulates a bounch flash (which wouldn't be practical inside the chamber. --------------------------------------------- Every day is a bonus - every night is an adventure.

vdschoor 0 #4 June 5, 2006 I think the key here is off camera flash, instead of on the camera.. I did a bunch of photos, but those were mostly through the glass, with an off camera flash that worked pretty well. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volo 0 #5 June 5, 2006 Yes, that's a good point. I was actually thinking the same thing whenever I was shooting photos (and getting extremely frustrated) at the tunnel. I have a remote that I can control two of my flashes and throw those things on slave mode. That's my plan so far. Thanks for all the input from everybody by the way :)Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhys 0 #6 June 7, 2006 i was reading in a similar thread that using an off camera flash through the next plexeglas panel around works well so the reflection is nowhere near your camera!"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
