Available light vs Flash - Old power plant
Posted By: gawan, 08-02-2009, 06:45 AM

These examples (pairs actually) are from visit to an old power plant museum, where in low light I used my normal flash (Metz 58). Lucky I also had my tripod with me because the available light in many cases was way more interesting than what I could get with flash. Flash may reveal more in documentary sense but artistically I preferred the available light most of the time.

What do you think (a is available light and b is flash version):

In these my point is clear, I think:

#1 a


#1 b


In these one can argue for either one, which do you prefer

#2 a


#2 b


This is my favourite, but only with available light...

#3 a only

Nice series.
Like the A images without flash but both are very well done.

Georg - I vote for the "A" shots - but it's close. Very interesting images either way.
