The new Honda CR-Z launch was photographed in available lighting – without flash. New DSLR cameras like the EOS 650D, EOS 6D and the EOS 5D Mark III allows handheld shooting with an ISO speed of 6400 without any digital noise visible. This scene was shot at ISO 2000 only.
Either the Speedlite 320EX( left) or the Speedlite 270EX II is great as a companion when fill-in flash is needed.
A direct, fill-in flash with the Speedlite 270EX II made this shot possible while retaining the projected words in the background visible. ISO 2000 speed was used.
you’ re serious about honing your picture taking skills and want the best photos from such occasions, it is best to stick with a digital camera that lets you set the aperture, shutter speed and focus manually with options for fully automatic operation.
The photos you see here were shot with an EOS DSLR fitted with only one lens, the EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Some of the photos were achieved with a little assistance from a compact flash, the Canon Speedlite 270EX II.

The difference in using a flash or without to shoot the same scene- the first photo has a darker background while the second has a clearer type; the former was shot with the flash head tilted to a 90-degree horizontal position and the latter was snapped without flash being used.
