If I bounced the light off the ceiling, will there be a time-lag? I mean will the shutter close first before the flash illuminates the background, considering the light now has a longer path? (does it make logical sense)
can try to move the subject away from the wall, then the shadow will be less obvious.Robert said:Hi
I have a subject with a white/beige background (a wall). The subject stands infront of the wall.
When I take a photo with the flash, there is also a shadow of the portrait on the wall in the final photo.
How do I prevent this?
TIA
Robert

Hmm, internal flash, don't thinks you can use the method I mention earlier.Robert said:Thanks for the replies everyone.
It's very interesting to read the different replies and methods to overcome this.
Basically, I use the internal flash to point-&-shoot and this creates a shadow on the wall. Sometimes I take photos of friends at parties etc and do a quick snap, but there is a shadow on the wall.
I will experiment with the various options given.
Thanks !!!!!
