The problem with on-camera flash is how flat it is. Sure you can soften it with diffusers but you have to take it off camera to show any contouring or depth and it has to be pretty close for the light to be larger relative to the subject to maintain its softness. A LQ-III at 10ft from your subject is still going to through a pretty hard light.
Yes. This is a nice video, but one should not assume that on-camera flash can only produce hard light. You can go here read strobist reviews of the lumiquest-softbox iii to see an example of on-camera flash used with a softbox-like device. Works very well. Of course, to get the softer lighting one’s working distance needs to be “closer”; but it works well.
Great vid!
You can mount a “soft box” on a normal flash and apparently it works pretty well.
Very informative, and the use of contrasting pictures showing the different effects is very useful. But whey did they program a robot to deliver the narrative?
