Came for the technique education, stayed for the R6 (cause that’s my model), subscribed for your personality and sense of humor 😅 happy 2025!

Great video Sam. Doing an event this weekend and will practice this beforehand!

I have been using this method for a long time, but always with my flash in TTL mode and the flash pointing upwards with a MagMod MagSphere attached. Works perfectly and solves the issue with adjusting the flash power manually all the time :)

Great vid!! What focus mode to you recommend to execute these shots? Spot wide tracking?? Once again kudos on this video! Stellar job all around!

Great video!

You can also do the recompose shot to off-centre by pressing the half-shutter? I don't get it how using the back button to focus gives more control and speed.

Amazing thanks so much for this

Mui buena informacion- thanks Sam, grea video

wow. Thank you Sam! I did try this before, a long time ago, from a TH-cam tutorial that I watched. then I tried it again and after coming home, i watched your video and it realized that there were a couple of things missing pointers from the old video that I watched and just realized it today after watching your video. thank you a lot!

Damn not bothering with the zoom function is where ive gone wrong all these times...

Finally someone that has some sense!! Rear curtain sync only works for something that you're totally in control, like someone dancing and the drag is part of the dancing steps to finally the subject land in a specific position that the flash will fire and freeze. Doesn't work for these wedding situations, as you mentioned, you want to capture immediately what's happening, 1s later may be too late.

Amazing results!

That photo at 8:04 is crazy! Great tutorial, thank you.

Great video Sam. I took away two big lessons from this (1) Smile; (2) Don’t dwell on bad shots. Now I’m looking back on some weddings I’ve done over the last few years, and I’m kicking myself for the times I took a bad shot and then wasted time thinking about it. And the times I got tired or down about something on the day, and lost my smile.

do you focus on someones face when you take the photo in back button focus?

Amazing video thank you so much!! What is rear curtain sync?? Could you explain a bit more?

Perfect Sam. ive got a gig today shooting a massive silent disco in a dark venue. this has been very bloody informative. thanks man. means a lot. Subscribed.

What to do if dancing floor has to much light? can I use ND filter?

Yapper

very helpful and nice pics!

Love this. Have watched so many videos on this topic and this has been the first that’s has made it so clear and simple. Thanks Sam

man you are just a perfect teacher and an amazing artist thank you

❤

Can any dslr be used for shutter dragging? e.g. canon 5d mark iii

this is a gem, thx!

glad you mentioned it has to be dark ambient... this is critical. Any ambient light in the shot and the subject it just going to come out blurry

Thank you so much for posting this with such detail!!

Está bien . Lo de la cortina trasera yo también vi que mejor no cambiar

If you're finding you can't focus in the dark, some speed lights come with a front facing led light, switch that on.

i should start to call it frame instead of image. sounds a lot fancier.

great explanations, thank you!! is f8 a must or does it also work wide open f1.4 for example?

So helpful! Can't wait to try this tomorrow 😄 Thank you!

Hi Sam, just wanted to let you know how brilliant these videos are! Thank you so much for your ethos, style, and positive community-over-competition attitude! I was up late binge watching and know I will be rewatching for al these great tips.Thank You! Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Great video Sam, I have been a photographer for 30 years and you have some great information in this video!

Good post! Question: so.. 🤔 do we have to move the camera...? I don't think that was stated in the lists of main points... Ok thanks! cheers!

This was good. Thank you!

Great video

I like watching your videos. They are informative and it’s like just listening to a mate sharing useful tips. Thanks for the effort

Does it matter if IBIS or Image Stabilization is on or off? Thank you.

Great information, thank you!

Amazing explanation !! Gonna practice this week at a ferstival! But There is something I didn't get it correctly I think. Should we set up the sync flash in rear or front mode ?

my question is how do you get the person in frame when you're waving the camera around all over the place?

Glad to be a new subbie ❤

Have you ever tried the modeling light on the V1 instead of a light panel?

I had issues at the airport with.1 Cam + 2 lenses because it was to heavy. Whats the weight of all yours together? But great, that you cheat here ;)

Love, love, love this video, thank you

Thank you so much that was very informative and helpful!

So these are all very helpful. We're doing our first destination wedding in Italy in 2025, and want to know how is best to legally shoot a wedding there. There are 2 of us, so would be double the kit, and I'm not sure I like the we're just on holiday line. Is the a working holiday visa or something? We're from the UK

most comprehensive and helpful video I've seen on this technique! thank you
