On Axis Fill: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman

From the Adorama YouTube Channel:

In Ep 113 of Two Minute Tips, David Bergman shows you how to use on-axis fill to enhance your pictures without changing the overall feel.

Note: In this example, the framing and distance to subject lead to a very small catchlight in the subject's eyes. For tighter subject framing, the circular catchlight caused by the ring light would be more obvious. Some people like the circular catchlight while others do not. Be sure to gauge how your subject feels about the circular catchlight before using a ring light (showing examples can help).

I used to own a dedicated ring flash, but it was so cumbersome to set up that I rarely used it and eventually sold it. Now I prefer to use a RoundFlash Magnetic Ringflash Adapter paired with an on-camera Speedlite. [Sean]
