    I have watched many videos on flash and I go away from it frustrated. You broke this down so simple yet super informative. Your sense of humor is the best!

    Not a flash person - always been intimidated. This was, by far, the best and clearest explanation I have ever heard (or seen)! Thank you!

    This is Gold Omar!!! I used these techniques in my event shoot tonight, and my confidence level went through the roof! I was hyping groups while taking their photos, and I got more "peak moments" than I ever dreamed off 🎉

    I like how you explain the practical side of things, like actually what do you do when you're in the thick of it. Thank you so much! I was the lady fiddling with her flash last night at my first attempt at event photography lol. I usually do landscapes and studio portraits and other things that aren't so on the fly

  • @Eli4Bill

    One of ‘the’ best descriptions on how to properly expose subjects with flash (manual) I’ve ever seen. Thanks!!

  • @andreasbuder4417
    @andreasbuder4417 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I kinda do this differently, because I rely on auto exposure very often. I usually set the flash ttl metering between one and two stops lower than my ambient exposure, so it is both on Auto with the set difference. I then use the excomp-dial for ambient exposure and the flash dial for needed difference between ambient and flash exposure. Less control but more flexibility when switching rooms or when suddenly the lights change. Canon does a great job with auto everything, other brands less so. Thanks for your tutorial!

  • @phrank808
    @phrank808 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As a event photographer i totally agree. Like Omar said, look how's the light around to get the moody environmet and then set the flash to manual. All these new modern TTL flashes haven't given me any improvement which works for me in nightlife / dark environments. I use an old Nikon flash (SB-800) which does the job a nd has not so many settings to mess around. As seen in the video the flash bounced back from the ceiling and fives a soft light. that's good in locations with not so high ceilings, but this doesn't work in big dark clubs. you can use a little refector, or plastic softbox / cap on the flash to get a more soft light.

    @villageblunder4787 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    With bounce flash technically you need to consider the distance from the flash to the walls and ceiling to the subject. That's why the room got brighter when the distance doubled but actually the bounce distance didn't change all that much.

  • @grumbirky
    @grumbirky ปีที่แล้ว

    You're very silly. I like that. I also like this vid, I love taking dance floor shots so the part at the end about not fiddling with setting while you're talking to people really resonated. Cheers!
