Thank you for this. I recently purchased the ad200 pro and I'm excited to use it at a shoot. I downloaded the ocf guide, joined the fb group and subscribed to your channel. I look forward to seeing your content
Absolutely! I am working hard on a new private OCF video from a family session for my ocf students soon. Im actually doing research calls this week to ask more questions and find out what you guys want to see more of. If you are interested I would love to chat and ask you a few questions Here is the link - calendly.com/mooreathill/researchcall
@@MooreaThill I tried but I realized my D5500 doesn’t do HSS and I already got the xpro trigger for Nikon, I tried using it on my mirrorless sony A7RIII, but it doesn’t work, I guess because it’s for NIKON.
I’ve had an AD200Pro for a while and haven’t made great use of it. I need to shoot more! Question for you: Is it normal to have a coast in Maui that’s not jam packed with people? I’m from NH where we have one tiny section of coast, and it’s always full of people
Could you shoot a video explaining how to sync your trigger with your light? I have the same light and trigger but I can’t figure out how to connect them
Moorea Thill HA ok UPDATE! I actually figured it out somehow I really don’t know how though but now the light works whenever I press the shutter but it would still be nice to be able to watch a very detailed video that is basically dummy proof so anybody can figure out how to sync their light with their camera. Thank you so much
@@kbstrong9775 That's awesome! I had to do a lot of research before on how to match the lights to the trigger when wanting to use multiple flashes so Ill work on making a video on it :)
Humm I wish I could help you out but I shoot canon! I would imagine if the HSS is enabled on the flash itself it would automatically work with your camera no matter what the brand
You did not use CTO gel at the beach. Did you match the colors temperatures in post? The AD200 has ~5500K color temperature but the sunset's is totally different.
That's a great idea, I normally have sandbags with me but forgot them that day. I tried to use my backpack too but it just didn't work as well as the foot 😂
I've been so lost until now! 😅😓😭 thank you for explaining high speed sync lol. 🤦🏻♀️ I'm still learning and I find flashes sooo hard .. now I need to figure out how to work 2 or more lights at a time lol
Great suggestion! I'll look into it but for the most part, I just use L-series glass which is weather sealed so a little rain shouldn't be a big deal. 👍
Great video and great exposure. You should maybe try a H200R round head kit with AK-R1 kit for the AD200 Pro. It disperses light very nice and even. I've never tried the kit your using in this video but it seems kind of similar to the AK-R1 kit. Becoming a big fan of OCF. I currently use 1 AD200 Pro with the mentioned kits and 3 V1 units all with AK-R1 kits and over 500 Rosco color gels.
Hei Moorea, tyhank for amazing video again! :) I am you bug fan ...I use almost the same equiopment as you . I bought a sand bags for my standm, cause imn my area is also windy... :))))) But they are heavy to care far a way, so sometimes have my boyfriend as assistens to cary the havy things... :)
Nice work! Can I ask you a question. When you expose for the background ambient, are you underexposing slightly ( 1 stop, etc), in order to make the subject pop in HSS? Thanks. William!!
Great question Danny! So with flash its always a dance of balancing ISO and Power for me. If I want the overall image to be brighter but want to keep the aperture where it is, I will raise the ISO and drop the flash power to balance the image as a whole. I find that I do this a lot with sunsets because the light is moving so fast it's a constant shifting of settings to get the look I want. I hope this helps :)

Such a great light 👍🏼
Love your attitude and your pictures. Well done.

I just got the ad200pro and I’ll try this tomorrow.thanks
Woohoo let me know what you think!

Love the art of photography!! Beautiful.
Thank you :)
Thank you !! Moorea for sharing your knowledge .. Lovely images !
Thank you 😊
great sunset shooting!!🙏
thank you!
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Awesome info! I've been trying to learn more about this so thanks for the tips!
Anytime :)
Need some Maui sand bags on the light stand LoL. Great video!!
Haha I sure do 😂 thanks for watching 😊
Great video. Fun too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Are the steps to correctly expose the background, then use the flash?
Yes ☺
This video has some great photography information. New subscriber here.
Thank you!! and thanks for the sub, I am so happy to have you here
@@MooreaThill wb it s auto or 5700 kelvin?
That you soooooo much for this video!!!!!
anytime
2021 still very useful!👍🏾
Hey love thank you for show us how to used property the tools 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome
are you from Germany ?
nope from USA
Thanks. Nice video. From Cape Town, South Africa.
Thank you !!
I got the same flash , what the difference to u the flash instead to put on the bulb
They offer a different type of light spread depending on what you are looking to accomplish
I’ve had an AD200Pro for a while and haven’t made great use of it. I need to shoot more!
Question for you: Is it normal to have a coast in Maui that’s not jam packed with people? I’m from NH where we have one tiny section of coast, and it’s always full of people
Hey great question, Maui is pretty spread out so it is often times easier to find a section without a ton of people in your shot.
Could you shoot a video explaining how to sync your trigger with your light? I have the same light and trigger but I can’t figure out how to connect them
Absolutely! Ill get started on it this week :)
Moorea Thill HA ok UPDATE! I actually figured it out somehow I really don’t know how though but now the light works whenever I press the shutter but it would still be nice to be able to watch a very detailed video that is basically dummy proof so anybody can figure out how to sync their light with their camera.

What light stands do you use as I had my light stand let me down when it got windy and cost me 769 dollars in too new ad200 pros
I have my light stands linked here - urlgeni.us/amazon/photo-gear
I cannot sync godox ad200 with sony A7 M3. What's the issue???
Sorry I shoot canon so i cant really help you out on this one.
The ones with the purple flowers 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Those were my fav too!!
Yes plzzz can you do a the tutorial that you said 🙏🙏🙏
I've enjoyed your vid....Wherever that place is, is also beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it! This was in South Maui :)
Hi what lenses did you used with this one?
I think It was my 50mm 1.2
CUTE!
Can you use it for Videography
No this is not a video light but the godox sl60w is 👍🏼
What is the setting for Sony camera to work hss mode??
Humm I wish I could help you out but I shoot canon! I would imagine if the HSS is enabled on the flash itself it would automatically work with your camera no matter what the brand
Love it
Yay I am so happy to hear that!
You did not use CTO gel at the beach. Did you match the colors temperatures in post? The AD200 has ~5500K color temperature but the sunset's is totally different.
Honestly this was made so long ago I am not sure at this point but I dont think I used a CTO
Do you use gels?
Sometimes I do but I don think I did for this particular shoot
great video! also you can get 2 shopping bags and fill them with sand and tie them up for your softbox stand
That's a great idea, I normally have sandbags with me but forgot them that day. I tried to use my backpack too but it just didn't work as well as the foot 😂
I've been so lost until now! 😅😓😭 thank you for explaining high speed sync lol. 🤦🏻♀️
I'm still learning and I find flashes sooo hard .. now I need to figure out how to work 2 or more lights at a time lol
You got this! I would recommend starting with one and once you master one then start playing with two.
Great video. Can you do one on how you protect your gear from the elements while at the beach especially?
Great suggestion! I'll look into it but for the most part, I just use L-series glass which is weather sealed so a little rain shouldn't be a big deal. 👍
Why did you need high speed sink? It seems like the sun wasn’t so powerful during the first part of the shoot.
I use HSS when I want my aperture to be low then resulting in the shutter needing to go over 1/200
If u mention setting of camera and hss light seting it would be help to beginners...
Hi there! right around thee 5:30 mark I mention these things 👍🏼
This is great!! Can’t wait to try these techniques! What trigger do you use with your Canon 5D Mark IV? Thank you!
i use this one amzn.to/3xgClR5
Quick hands!!! 🤣🤣👍👍
Great video and great exposure. You should maybe try a H200R round head kit with AK-R1 kit for the AD200 Pro. It disperses light very nice and even.

Thanks for the tip! I use magmod modifiers and they work great for me :)
Hei Moorea, tyhank for amazing video again! :) I am you bug fan ...I use almost the same equiopment as you . I bought a sand bags for my standm, cause imn my area is also windy... :))))) But they are heavy to care far a way, so sometimes have my boyfriend as assistens to cary the havy things... :)
I should try and convince my boyfriend to carry my things 😂thanks for watching Maggy! I am so happy to hear you are enjoying my content.
Super
Thank you
Why don’t you weigh down the flash stand?
Nice work! Can I ask you a question. When you expose for the background ambient, are you underexposing slightly ( 1 stop, etc), in order to make the subject pop in HSS? Thanks. William!!
When I expose for ambient I typically try and hit the exposure right on the nail for the highlights.
Moorea Thill Thanku. So many underexpose a bit, to mk the subject pop.
Nice video. Try using weights, #2, #5 on light stands, easy to do.
Thank you!
I feel dumb because I have godox ad200s and my shoots never look like this. 😕
haha try the hair dryer method
You Had Me At Sail Boat lol
do you remember what made you want to raise your iso to 400 and drop you flash power ?
Great question Danny! So with flash its always a dance of balancing ISO and Power for me. If I want the overall image to be brighter but want to keep the aperture where it is, I will raise the ISO and drop the flash power to balance the image as a whole. I find that I do this a lot with sunsets because the light is moving so fast it's a constant shifting of settings to get the look I want. I hope this helps :)
Did you say “let an eagle grab your camera” at 6:54 ? Lol
lol nope
Amaizing! What was your camera settings?
Each shot is slightly different but you can see the settings on the LCD screen :)
I hope you’re now using sand bags to keep your soft box stand from blowing away..🙃😊😊
hahah yes!
Please get a sandbag for your stand O.O
omg you are so pretty
❤️
Wow
Its not necessary to turn on HHS on the AD200. If you enable it on your camera and trigger the flash will automatically switch to hhs.
Got it! Thanks for the tip
That happens but it was a great video just hated seeing the wind destroy your gear if it came to that you were on guard to catch it.
Try putting weights on your light stand
Normally I do but i forgot them that day 😂
sand bag would have helped
Yup! unfortunately I didn't pack any with me that day
I would infest in at least one sandbag 😂. Too windy there sista. Or make an improvised one. That’ll save your light
You should not be picking/killing those flowers. What if every other photographer did the same? Shame on you!
