Well explained. many thanks. However, you can see the difference in the white balance. When the sun is closer to the horizon, it gets warmer, while the flash is just white 5600k or something very close. A flash that allows to go around 6000k is definitely a good idea because its harder to tell that was done with a flash. Still looks very nice
Terrific tutorial, Jay P! My son is taking his first photo class in college and will be starting lighting next week. 'Definitely sharing this video with him.
Can one use a speedlight off camera, without a light modifyer though? At least for portraits. Just camera, trigger and flash. I've seen some umbrellas online and such, but I dont know if it's a must. My trigger arrives tomorrow, so I guess I'll test the whole 'raw' approach in upcoming days haha. Love your vids!
I paid for a video lesson via PayPal but did not receive the download except for the receipt. Wrote to the email address provided but got a standard reply to check the junk folder. Same answer despite 2 emails for assistance. This video lesson is great though!
Great instructional video. Have you done a video on using high speed synch? I like the longer lens because you can get sharp photos with nice bokah. But the longer lens is too heavy for me to walkaround with so I will have to stick to my 85mm prime and use my feet to zoom.
This is a very helpful video. Any tips for shooting an outdoor event, so the flash (a fill light) will be on the camera. And it will be fast, can't ask the subjects to pose or wait for you? Thanks!
9:40 Color gels for your flash would have been your friend there. That cool blue tint in her face in contrast to the warm (sun) rimlight doesn't look very flattering ...
Many good points. However, I can't help feeling that if the background light is coming from right to left fore example, then the strobe should also be coming from the same direction. If not, the lighting in the image looks weird. Am I the ONLY person who feels that way ?
@@TheSlantedLens no just seems very time consuming considering when you have faster methods like the s-brackets or the magnetic mounts on the angler/profoto/smdv softboxes. But hey I get it, this video brought to you by Westcott.

Hello Michael, Please email social@theslantedlens. I do not find you in our system.

That is a good concept. We will see what we can do!
@@TheSlantedLens Thank you!
Great video, due you use a CTO filter for a little warmth in the images?
he really needs this gels, I think.
I did not use the CTO on this shoot.
Besides the sun, what do you use for a back light?
9:40 Color gels for your flash would have been your friend there. That cool blue tint in her face in contrast to the warm (sun) rimlight doesn't look very flattering ...
Thanks for sharing you thoughts!
What is the stand that the flash is mounted on?
It is a Manfrotto Alu Master Air-Cushion Stand. We have a set of 3 that stack together: bhpho.to/3qr37XI

The slanted lens with a slanted model
Setting up the speed light in the softbox seems very 2010.
Have you been to any photo trade shows lately?
