Hi,
I have been using a Canon S90 with built-in flash and diffuser. For a picture like the following, how could I reduce the amount of white spots (backscatter)? Would external flash help?
I have done some search and found one tip that is often given is to shoot slightly upwards, which was done in this picture. I seem to find that shooting upwards caused more white spots.
I could process in Photoshop to get rid of the white spots on a blue background, using the same method to remove dust and scratch. Is there a better way to do this? Is there a way to remove those on the subject (on the seafan in this case)?
thanks,
Jason
