Light in Photography - LIGHTING -off camera flash Lighting

Electronic flashlight is also a common means of illuminating a subject and many modern cameras have them built in above the penta prism where the image is viewed.

Most flashlights are colour balanced to produce the same incident colour as a midday sun, although with age they tend to deliver a more yellow light. They produce a large intensity of light for a very short period of time. There are many types of flashlights, from the older single shot bulb to the professional studio flash with modeling lights, manual and auto exposure systems.
