Bounce ash
By directing the ash head towards a wall or ceiling, the ash can
be ‘bounced’ or reected back onto the subject in order to reduce
shadow and obtain a more natural effect.
Adjust the ash head tilt, rotation angle and select
the reection plane
Using the ceiling as the reection
surface by tilting the ash head up to
point directly upwards is usually the
simplest and most effective way to
achieve good results. If holding the
camera on its side, you can rotate the
ash head by 90 degrees to obtain the
same effect.
The most effective distance between the ash head and reection
plane is 1-2m, depending on the shooting environment. When
shooting colour photographs, choose a white or reective surface to
avoid the colours appearing unnatural.
Using the built-in reection card
When using a bounced ash technique, using the ash’s
built-in reection card can make the subject appear
more bright and vital. It can also help to avoid lighting
foreground objects.
To pull out the reection card, tilt the ash head up to
90 degrees, then pull out the wide diffusion plate as
well as the reection card. Keeping the reection card
pulled up, push the wide diffusion plate back into place.
