This document discusses how flash photography works and provides tips for using flash effectively. It explains that flash freezes motion, is metered through the lens, and cuts off when enough light hits the sensor. While shutter speed has little effect on flash exposure, aperture and ISO can increase the flash's reach by allowing it to correctly expose subjects farther away due to the inverse square law. Bouncing or diffusing the flash can make for softer, more even lighting by spreading the light around the scene.
