Fuji HS10 Recommended External Flashes

July 13, 2010 By Eric Reagan

One of the frequently recurring questions that I receive is “What flash should I get for the Fuji HS10?”

As a professional, I’m always looking for ways to do things differently  than the average photographer. One I’d like to share is fill-flash for  macro, which we called flash-fill back in the day when you had to make all  kinds of complicated readings and calculations to pull it off.  I’m not talking about a dedicated macro ring flash, either, but your  common, everyday external flash unit and/or your on-camera flash. Both work, and they work great together. [Read more…]
