The amount of light during bounce flash photography is greatly

affected by the condition of the reflective surface, therefore test

pictures should be taken beforehand or changing the exposure

and taking several pictures may be recommended.

• When taking color photographs, if the reflective surface for

the bounce flash is colored, the picture will be affected by the

color and unless this is intentional, a white surface should be

used.

surrounding conditions. A photography manual and other

references are recommended.
