In today’s Workbench, I’m excited to share with you a flash blending technique that Rick Allen showed me. The scene is a kettle pond in Zion National Park. After placing his camera on a tripod, Rick fired several exposures, each time illuminating a different part of the rim with an off-camera flash. His goal was to combine the images in Photoshop to create a delicate ring of light around the pond. His series of images is only experimental, so the end result isn’t spectacular, but the concept really gets the creative juices pumping.

Hi Mark, Thank you for doing these tutorials I really love them, you are a pleasure to listen to and easy to follow. I wrote to you some time ago asking for permission (which you granted thankfully)to use your tutorials for our local (Gippsland Victoria Australia) camera club’s digital workshops, we all love them big time, and watch them over and over. I always give you a plug and many members visit your site. It is such a joy to have someone like you to share your brilliant knowledge. Thanks ruth

Mark,
Thanks for posting our joint experiment in Zion. Next time, we’ll have to pre-visualize a little better what elements will benefit from off-camera flash in landscape photography.
