I was shooting a borrowed digital camera and the flash is built in. The
exposure was flash with only the bright sun in the bottom of the window breaking
thru. The flash hot spot was in the upper left part of the frame and I filled in
a sort of sloppy manner in Photoshop. If I thought this was a sellable photo I
could do a drop shadow technique effect and kill the flash exposure feel of the
picture.
I think this shows the difference between old style photography where one
fill the frame with just the subject to get maximum detail. If I had pulled the
lens back to 18mm the flash would have fallen outside of the desired image area
(assuming the built in flash covered the 18mm wide angle) and then it would be
easy to crop it out. The reason I didn't shoot at an angle as I wanted the items
to inside the depth of field. I wish I still had the camera so I could
experiment.
