Great description of how your camera does High Speed Sync here: • Location Portraits wit...
வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sir i have also d750 and today i tried to do this with your trick and awesome result thank you very much like the video.
Honestly, I love your video, beautiful model and great frames.
Thank you, I learned something here, I was trying to find the meaning of FP, hahaha, I didn't know it was for Full Power.
Thank you.
You have the wireless capability option and model controls on camera without having to run back and forth to up down power
Who down voted this?
very impressive work Bill! I found your tutorials are helful. Please keep continue
Thanks Kazi! I'll continue to shoot these tutorials as time and weather permit :)
Uh, why aren't you maximizing the flash output/power...by having the head closer to the umbrella/diffusion source? Is it because you NEED to reduce output, or....?
This is more of a teaching sample. Not getting down to the nitty-gritty of a shoot
This is a great motivator to go out and shoot.
Hi Bill I have D750 but somehow I can't adjust the shutter. Anything I should check? I am using flash Godox V1.
I've never used a Godox.
Some cameras have issues with 1/250 - many people use 1/200 to avoid sync problems.
Are you still use D750?do you think shutter speed 4000 enough for some special environments?
Yes, I still use my d750. 4000 is good.
Thanks my brother, was having trouble not being able to shoot faster than 1/250 with high seed sync flash.
Spent two hours trying to solve and less than 2 minutes you showed the solution.
That's great!
hello. without cable does not work? I have a Yn Speedlight 685 and a yn 560 xt PRO, I don't know how to shoot with more than 1/250. Thank you.
Good evening everyone. I need some help, please. When I have my speed light SB-700 connected to my D750, is there any way when I flash that, to flash a second external speed light in the same time ? If you have a youtube video showing how to do that (if possible) that would also help. Thank you.
I don't get these people complaining about "racoon eyes." I think those shadows around the model's eyes are light enough to allow us to see plenty of detail while still retaining quite a natural look. If you got rid of them completely, I think the face would look a bit flat and "flashed."
Can I use High Speed Sync on the Nikon SB-700 and my Nikon Z6ii ?
That's a good question. I don't know because I don't have a Z6ii.
How did you take the music from soundcloud and put it on this video?

Bill the models must be all over u buddy!
Really nice video! Thanks
Hey Bill, can't we use Nikon CLS system to trigger flash off camera without TTL cable?
Hi Chitransh, Yes, you can use the Nikon CLS system. I have tried Nikon Commander mode and have not had great success. I experienced a delay from pushing the shutter button to when the camera fired. I didn't like it. In my next video about High Speed Sync I use a radio popper.
Bill Lawson - I've had really good luck with SB-800s using CLS. When outside, I like using an SB-800 as Master because it is much brighter than the popup, and you can direct and zoom it towards the Slave flash.
I would say Godox Flashes are quality and match the brand flashes. Save your money
Loved your video. One thing I have a question about is, does the high sync flash help keep the background from being blown out? I would guess that if you spot meter off her face, the bg would be blown out. Does using flash and umbrella help prevent that? I know nothing about using flash. Thanks
No, the background won't be blown out unless you want to. High speed sync allows you to control foreground and background separately. Experiment and play with it. That's how I learned.
Anne Brooks turn off your flash and expose for the background using camera only. Now turn on your flash with HSS to full then take a picture. If the model is too bright turn the flash down.
Anne Brooks two seperate exposures. Background exposure is controlled by your camera and subject/model exposure is controlled using your flash.
Great idea, thanks
Thx for the video
Don’t you lose power when you go over 1/250 on the shutter speed?
Appreciate your answer
Yes, it takes a lot more power to do high speed sync
@@lawsonpix so the flash won’t be that effective then unless you have a strong studio strop right?
Yes, check out my video th-cam.com/video/NwaxD-yLKeE/w-d-xo.html
Great! Thanks. Just wondering why you used that cable and extension. Wouldn't almost any kind of wireless trigger have worked. I'm assuming the ambient was too bright to use CLS so a radio trigger would have been necessary ...y/n?
I didn't have a wireless trigger when I shot this.
Bill, I enjoyed it very much. I got inspired and I definitely learned something new.
Great to hear! Thanks!
thanks so much. but wondering what's the set up for build-in flash, comdr mode? or Mannual mode?
Commander mode allows your camera flash to remotely trigger a Nikon flash. I have never done that with High Speed Sync.
Helpful
I disagree with that as sb910which I had 3 off ended up using godox 685 and works great at hss
I never tried the godox. Thanks.
I never had a problem with my Godox-flashes....I changed my nikon SB800 and 700 to different Godox-flashes...no banding.....and the trigger is fabolous (used the CLS before that)
i would like to see a tutrial on Godox v1
you out of luck if you need repair or service with Godox
So, my problem is that my camera doesn't display any shutter speed over 1/250 so I'm not able to adjust it up from there. Am I missing something? -not discussed in this tutorial. Thank you!
Do you have a D750? Not sure what the problem is.
@@lawsonpix thank you! I figured out that my high speed was turned off on the lighting. All is well and thank you for the speedy response! Your video is very helpful
How do you raise the shutter speed above 1/250? When I use my D750 with a off camera sb700 I am not able to raise the shutter speed to more than 1/250?
I am btw using a wireless trigger:)
Hope you can help me.

What is the brand and model number? Not all wireless triggers do High Speed Sync.
Photographer Bill Lawson is is “Cactus” cant Remember which number, but do you know a trigger that does support high sync speed?
The Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver web page does not mention High Speed Sync so it might not be available with that unit. This is the one I bought yongnuo yn-622n i-ttl www.adorama.com/ynyn622n.html?kbid=913638
And that one supports high sync?
Yes, it's the one I used to make this video: th-cam.com/video/NwaxD-yLKeE/w-d-xo.html
Boost up the fill flash. You want to avoid “raccoon eyes “. The second two portraits at the end are better.
I have the D750 with the Sigma 85mm 1.4 lens and the 50mm Nikon lens you have. My oldest daughter is having twins in December, and your videos are really helping me. You're a real natural behind the camera AND in front of it, teaching. Thank you soooooo much!!!
Glad I can help!
Hey Bill...good one...how do you get the flash continiously work when you are using continuous mode on the camera?
Hi Nimesh, normal camera flash won't fire in continuous mode. It takes a second or two to refresh the flash. The only way to fire in continuous mode is to buy really expensive flash.
great presentation. thank you😊
I want her number...
Thanks for explaining the actual strobascopic action behaviour of the flash/shutter mechanism. I have Elinchrom RX 400w/s mono lights, and someone mentioned that their power is too low for high speed synch. I have yet to try. Must try and find a big battery pwr supply as you used in your other tutorial for my Elinchrom's in the field. (I put my flash mode in CMDR mode and 320FP in my Nikon D7100.) Thanks for the detail you provide.
FP320* works from my D7100 with my Elinchroms I use a Sunpak speedlite to optically trip the strobes and was able to get lovely exposures of 1/8000 sec f3.x with a love blurred background. Thanks again for the calm and fun insight from you and the model. Fun fun!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Why not use a ND filter and not have to rely on high speed flash? Thanks for the video.
yes you could do - but you'll also have an uneven colour cast over the models face.
If you don't mind looking through the viewfinder at a dark scene.
You'd need a strong ND in bright sunlight-about 5 stops. The camera would probably have a hard time focusing with a 5 stop ND on the lens.
@@wildbill9919 but with a Af-S lens and the af beam set to focus assistance only you could solve it right? (not hardcore experienced at flash photography)
Why not use Nikon lighting system without the cord?
Yeah, I used a radio popper in the next video
What about covering the model wih a diffuser to avoid cenital light and those strong shadows under the eyes?
Yeah that would work.
Do you expose on the background and shoot the model with flash even the exposure meter is showing underexposed??? Cuz the sky and background are looking too good and not washed off...
This is art, not science. Try both and see what you like.
Excellent videos Sir! Keep up the good work, will follow your channel with great interest!
And the settings on the camera are all manual too? Thanks.
I will definitely try. Nice presentation. Good luck for future videos.
All the best
Very interesting. I had always thought that even in high speed synch flash setting, that the max speed was 200 or 250. Guess I was mistaken. I too am wondering did you shoot the d750 in manual or aperture mode?
Hi Paul, Yes High Speed Sync means above the normal limit for flash.
You can see the photos here and check the EXIF data: www.flickr.com/photos/lawsonpix/37290654790/
Nice video dear
Thank you sir. Good luck for future videos.
So nice of you
back baground blu
is it me or my eyes or the photos but they look very soft.
You can check some of the photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/lawsonpix/albums/72157689140492485
Interesting. Should I be able to do this with a pair of Pocket Wizard PlusX triggers, instead of the cable setup?
Paul, The PlusX Triggers can't do High Speed Sync. Sorry about that. You can still do high speed sync with the flash mounted right on your camera though. (If you have the right flash unit)
That's good to know, however, I am trying to get more comfortable with off-camera flash. I neglected to mention that I am using an SB900 speedlight. So, to be able to use shutter speed above 1/200, I need to get triggers that are specially designed for HSS?
Yes, you need to get triggers that allow you to use TTL and HSS. I bought Yongnuo i-TTL Transceiver YN622N II for Nikon and I might do a video showing how to us them.
OR! You can use Commander Mode already on your Nikon. Check this video out: th-cam.com/video/FW_crpcZH3k/w-d-xo.html to help get you started. Commander Mode isn't as reliable as a radio popper but it's already on your camera so it's free to play with.
By the way, depending on the third party speedlight you have, you can also do HSS with your built-in flash as a trigger while the off camera flash is set to Slave mode. However, you need to make sure that your camera flash and the off camera sensor are aligned and that there is not much sunshine in the way, otherwise the sensor will not be able to determine if the on camera flash went off or not.
Yes, that's true. I didn't mention that because it's very problematic due to what you mention about alignment & sunshine.
Nice chill video 🖤💯
Nice work. Love my "D" primes. Better micro contrast than the newer "G" lenses.
Glad you like it! "D" Primes are great. Great lens, less money.... lol
Thanks
Welcome
Hi, Bill. Just curious if one can set high speed sync on a Canon Rebel t6i?
Yes, it probably does. But I'm not 100% sure. Check your user manual. Look up HSS or High Speed Sync.
A simple Internet search (5 seconds) will show that the it can.
Hi Sir. Bill can i do Hss, using d7200 and ad200 with 1xt trrigger?
D7200 will do HSS but I don't know about the ad200 and 1tx trigger. What brand are they?
I did a little research. It looks like your good to go. Yes, that equipment is supposed to sync up and do HSS.
@@lawsonpix Thank you Sir.Bill
only if you have a NIKON trigger of course @@lawsonpix
THANKYOU
THANKS MY FRIEND
did you combine two flash cord into one? i see its not nikon cord
Yes, that's two flash cords. Both are Nikon.
