Taken with direct flash
Adding fill from an on-camera flash balances the exposure nicely. Notice, however, the shadows from the support bar, wires, and radiator hose, etc. Exposure is good, shadows are not.
Taken with Graslon 4100F
This was taken with the same flash with the Graslon 4100F.Notice the shadow from the support bar has all but disappeared, and the other shadows are much more natural looking.
The Graslon diffusers can be used virtually anywhere a flash is needed, with superb results.
