I´ve been using that front flash style lately and knowing a little bit more about settings was super helpful, thank you so much for this content, keep it up!!!
Thank you for this video was very informative. I’ve always been nervous to use my speed light that I purchased a few months ago, but after watching your video, I definitely will now.
Thanks for this video, but I have a question: if you do shutter drag, you have to make sure the lens stays at the same level, right? Like, you're tilting the camera but not actually moving it in such a way that the lens is pointing at anything else. I imagine with a shutter speed of 1/10 any sideways movement on an already moving subject will just cause them to look distorted, or maybe I'm wrong there? I'm kind of confused by how the subjects in your example photos are still crisp whereas everything else isn't.
If you underexpose enough then you won't pick up any movement of your subjects because they are too dark, only the bright lights in the background will show on the image. The flash will probably fire in around 1/10 000th sec which will freeze your subjects right in front of you.
@@thefrugalphotographer I'm afraid I'm no closer to understanding. How or why does the flash "freeze" the subject even at such a slow speed which would otherwise result in an image full of motion blur?
@@TimCools_WithALongO Try taking a photo indoors with about 4 stops of underexposure. Anyone walking in front of the camera will just be a slight blur because there isn't enough light to expose them. Now add a flash, at the point where the flash fires they will be 'frozen' in the image perfectly clearly because the flash is the main light in the picture.
It will depend on the environment, you could probably be at a pretty low iso because you want underexposure of the background. In each setting dial in whatever works - there is no magic number.
@@dennisvardy5553 yeah I just love listening to distorted sound, sarcasm! If you are good enough to post and share your info then do it correct from the start!
@@susanspencer6177 For me, she had the perfect speed and I'm not even a native speaker, so be careful with telling others what is the correct way and what isn't.
@@MARIELLEISCOOL 1. Distorted sound is what you the listener get when you alter the creators video. 2. Not telling you what to create just a viewer who gave you a compliment about your content and asked if you could in the future speak more slowly! 3. People who wish to share need to create content with all viewer levels in mind
@@MARIELLEISCOOL Btw never once told this photographer how to make her videos, but as a 25+ year professional photographer who occasionally found time to drop go pro videos without editing, for coaches just getting started on You Tube for free. Just saying be very careful what you read in to what people are asking, they may be complimenting the creator.

Great video. Subscribed.

This was dope
Thanks for this video. What ISO value are you using when using flash on the dancefloor or shutter drag? Also, what aperture on the flash? Cheers
Dope video, good tips
Thanks!
So helpful!!
Glad to hear that!! xx
Great video! Thank you 🙏

@@thefrugalphotographer I got that much, but it's the *how* and *why* that eludes me, but I don't want to be pushy about it or anything.
Is the guide still available?
Hi, yes! The link is in the description :)
Preciate you
what would the ISO be for the shutter drag settings?
It will depend on the environment, you could probably be at a pretty low iso because you want underexposure of the background. In each setting dial in whatever works - there is no magic number.
The up talk really negates a lot of your message.
ok?
Slow down, you have important info but way too fast!
Go into settings,play back speed and turn it down a notch 👍
