What If Your Flash at Full Power Isn’t Enough?

If you’re lighting your subject, and your flash is at full power, but it’s just not bright enough to do what you want it to do, just add another flash. That’s right—pop another flash up there, right beside your other flash, but just make sure you put them both on the same group (so they’d both be assigned to Group A, or both assigned to Group B), so they both fire at the same time. Just like turning on another light in your home adds more light, adding another flash adds more light, too! By the way, adding another flash doesn’t double your light output, it just adds about an extra stop of light. To add another stop of light, just add another two flashes, and so on.
