Using a Cloud As a Photography Diffuser in Your Photo Shoot By Bea Allen

One of the most useful equipment that every photographer should own is the photography diffuser. These can smoothen out wrinkles, help control shadows, diffuses light and also tone down harsh contrast. These are undoubtedly essential.
There are a few varied types of photography tools that can be measured a diffuser. It is possible to smear some Vaseline onto the lens since it will diffuse the amount of light that goes in to the camera. It can still be considered a photo diffuser. It is also possible to use a cloud that is passing by the sun as a diffuser for you photo shoot.
In this article, we will think that anything that is put in front of the source of light as a diffuser and also anything that is placed on the lens as a filter. This is a basic concept for this article.
As I mentioned earlier, you can use a cloud as a diffuser in your photo shoot. You can just imagine the sun. In relation to our size on earth, the sun is just miniature little thing that is way up there in the skies. Seeing, as the sun is extremely bright, even though it is small to look at from our view, it builds some quite harsh and black shadows.
Then imagine a white inflated cloud in front of it and see what happens. As you will see, the sunlight will hit the back of the cloud and the light will bounce all over the place. The diffused light will come through the cloud and will turn the entire cloud into a humongous source of diffused light.
The diffused light that comes through is less intense and is softer. Additionally, since the source of light is much bigger, the light has a tendency to wrap around the subject, eliminate, and soften the shadows. All diffusers functions on the same concept. However, if you are in a studio you do not have any clouds floating around. What you can do is place some translucent material in front of your light source and voila, you have a diffuser.
