Such a technical matter explained simply by demonstrating the examples. I always enjoy watching and learning from Mark’s videos as they are never boring.
Apart from excellent teaching , you even spray exitement of our common hobby. Thanks for that. You are my number one expert when it comes to teaching photography.
At last! I finaly saw the example of independance between exposure triangle and flash triangle. This demonstrates more than any theory how the triangles work. Great job, you are the best to teach what really counts shen mixing flash and ambient light.
I’ve listened to and read many explanations of this over the years and this is the simplest and best I’ve come across. The graphic overlays were perfect for visualizing what the key variables are for flash and ambient. Thanks, Mark!
I have been a follower of Mark's videos for years and the way he simplifies technicalities is amazing. That is how good teachers teach. Mark is simply the best!
I had a clear understanding of how all this works, but the graphics with the exposure triangles and the shutter speed vs flash power to create the diamond, brilliant! Even more clear.
Thanks for the very useful video. When I shot film, I only used my flash units at full power because some of the color film I used had problems with reciprocity failure if I decreased the flash intensity by decreasing the flash duration. Therefore, I used the flash to subject distance to decrease the flash intensity.
Brilliant demonstration Mr Wallace! Exposure diamond easy to remember. Funny, by coincidence, prior to watching your video I had to view an ad from another photographer who boasted that he "cracked the light code". All you need is to watch Mr Wallace's presentation folks.
Aperture and Shutter speed remain the same for both. The only thing you change is Shutter speed for natural (ambient) light, OR Flash power for the flash.
I've been watching Mark for years and I've gainedd more technical knowledge from Mark than any other online presence. Thank you Adorama and Mark Wallace!
I always found it hard to explain balancing ambient and flash, but this video is SIMPLY AMAZING. I'll have to send this to whoever asks me about it next time!
This info is mind blowing!! Thank you so much! omg. What a powerful tool and resource. I feel so much more confident for my sunrise photoshoot tomorrow yayyy
Honestly. This info and the Diamond diagram made so much sense. I don't know why so many others struggle to explain. Shutter speed for back ground, flash for subject. Perfect explination.
By far the best and absolutely clear demonstration of the exposure ‘Diamond’! I have seen many videos on this topics and always walked away a bit confused and unclear, until I saw this video. Thanks so much!
Seriously... Thank you so much for this. You explained this in a way that made it finally "click" for me, so, rather than just cranking dials on the camera and pushing buttons on my flash to trial-and-error my way into learning, I actually have an intuitive understanding of how to make changes now.
I've watched so many flash exposure videos from other big names and all that and was still confused, it seemed so complex but this is great it made me understand a whole bunch it's so simple with Mark's explaination. Now to actually do trial and error. I only have on camera flash at the moment. But it seems much simpler using off camera flash since it's much more controlled (ie the distance you are to subjects are consistent every time) so handheld in like event photography seems a little trickier!
So sample and easy you make it on this video into how easy is to control our lighting. I have been using off-camera flash for about 3 years and I like the fact that I can get very creative. This video you did was the best of all in explaining how it really works. Thank you. you so much.

This was the most clear and comprehensive explanation of off camera flash and balancing ambient light I've seen in years. Great job!
This is one of those videos that deserve a bookmark
So true. Best explanation

Omgosh I finally understand after years of just hiitting buttons dragging strobes out to shoots omggg ty
Best simple explanation I've seen.
The animation of the diamond is amazing. Makes it so intuitive.
I’ve listened to and read many explanations of this over the years and this is the simplest and best I’ve come across. The graphic overlays were perfect for visualizing what the key variables are for flash and ambient. Thanks, Mark!
I agree. Mark did an excellent job!!
The best explanation on balancing ambient light and flash.
Mark - that explanation is poetic simplicity of a complex topic. Thank you
This was brilliant. The David Bergman video on How to balance ambient light is also a necessary watch. These two videos should be combined into one.
Superb demonstration. Thank you.
This is the simplest most concise explanation I have ever heard! Thank you!
Clear, short and concise. Thumbs up
Very clear and easy to understand, Mark. Hope you're doing well and staying safe!
As always, clearly spoken and demonstrated. I also applaud that you speak the language of your models.
I have been a follower of Mark's videos for years and the way he simplifies technicalities is amazing. That is how good teachers teach. Mark is simply the best!
Wow. One of the most simple ways to learn flash Photography
Perfect! No silly jokes and No BS!
Just pure knowledge sharing session!
I had a clear understanding of how all this works, but the graphics with the exposure triangles and the shutter speed vs flash power to create the diamond, brilliant! Even more clear.
Excellent video that makes the Exposure Diamond so easy to learn. Thanks
Mark is a terrific teacher!
That's the clearest and least complex demonstration that I've seen on this. Thanks.
excellent demonstration of controlling ambient light with flash power
Thanks for the very useful video.
When I shot film, I only used my flash units at full power because some of the color film I used had problems with reciprocity failure if I decreased the flash intensity by decreasing the flash duration. Therefore, I used the flash to subject distance to decrease the flash intensity.
Perfect explanation ❤
Glad it was helpful for you! We'll be creating more informative videos, so please stay tuned! ✨
After long time I see exploring photography with mark Wallace
EXCELLENT explanation. Well done. I love ALL your inspirational videos.
I have watched Mark since 2012. But this episode is epic. This guy is a genius. It can’t get simpler than this.
Thanks for sharing Mark
I agree. This has to be one of Mark's best on Ambient/Flash exposure balancing.
Brilliant demonstration Mr Wallace! Exposure diamond easy to remember. Funny, by coincidence, prior to watching your video I had to view an ad from another photographer who boasted that he "cracked the light code". All you need is to watch Mr Wallace's presentation folks.
So easily explained Mark👍👍
I have been watching ambient light and flash videos most of the day and this video is by far the best, All I need now is that $600 light meter. Ha
Brilliantly explained. Thank you
Thanks Mark for this video. I wasn't aware of an exposure diamond. great help thanks, Davy
One of the best explanation I've seen in my years of understanding photography thanks Mark for this.
Prefert and minimalistic explanation, watch this video I clicked subscribe button 👌
I learned something from you this morning...balancing flash with natural light (ambient light).
Aperture and Shutter speed remain the same for both. The only thing you change is Shutter speed for natural (ambient) light, OR Flash power for the flash.
I had forgotten about the exposure diamond. Thanks for the reminder Mark. 👍🏼
Excellent ! This is the best explanation I've ever had. Top notch Job !
Nice, clear and very easy video to understand, the best.
Love his tutorials.Thank you Mark you are the best!

Great idea to call and show is as a diamond. Very understanding. Thanks
Thanks for making this video. The mix of flash and ambient has always confused me a bit. So happy I understand it now. 😃
Excellent video, mate. This has been an unbelievable help.
