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.
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!
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 matters when mixing flash and ambient light.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
My comment pertains to all of Mark Wallace’s videos, not just this one: they are great tutorial videos! Mark explains things and techniques in a very detailed and comprehensive way that makes it so much easier to understand. Moreover, his videos encourage me to try things that were out of my comfort zone, just because he explains them in a very simple way. Thanks Mark and your colleagues at Adorama! I’ve been watching you guys’ videos over the years and they’ve helped me become the photographer that I wish to be. 👍
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.
OMG, Mark . ... I am new to flash photography and I was getting so frustrated because couldn't understand basics. The example with diamond is simply incredible. Finally it clicked in my head and can understand clearly how the light works. Now I can move to the next step ..... practice. Thank you so much!
A brilliant demonstration, explanation, with wonderful graphics to make these concepts clear! Thank you Mark! The world’s best photography techniques teacher!
My goodness Mark, this is absolutely brilliant! I just get it! Now I have 2 best videos from you. The demystified studio lighting video and this one. I'm going to try getting used to this diamond with HSS! Thanks for this.
@@gwhech Actually (generally) if shutter speed higher then flash duration this is not applicable. Accordingly as you say, if we are outsdide and we want to use HSS mode and high flash power we should have a problem.
Finally! This makes absolute sense to me now! I was scared, or put off of exploring with this for years... I can easily incorporate this even with my film cameras now. Thanks so much.
This is one of those videos that deserve a bookmark
So true. Best explanation
This was the most clear and comprehensive explanation of off camera flash and balancing ambient light I've seen in years. Great job!
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.
Agree 100%, I've been watching Mark for almost 5 years . I have learned so much photography from him.
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 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
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 matters when mixing flash and ambient light.

I agree. Mark did an excellent job!!
Omgosh I finally understand after years of just hiitting buttons dragging strobes out to shoots omggg ty
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.
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.
The animation of the diamond is amazing. Makes it so intuitive.
Very clear and easy to understand, Mark. Hope you're doing well and staying safe!
Best simple explanation I've seen.
The best explanation on balancing ambient light and flash.
Mark - that explanation is poetic simplicity of a complex topic. Thank you
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.
One of the best explanation I've seen in my years of understanding photography thanks Mark for this.
As always, clearly spoken and demonstrated. I also applaud that you speak the language of your models.
This is the simplest most concise explanation I have ever heard! Thank you!
Superb demonstration. Thank you.
I minored in photography at a major US University and in Studio class this was never explained. Unbelievable! TY!!!

EXCELLENT explanation. Well done. I love ALL your inspirational videos.
Excellent video that makes the Exposure Diamond so easy to learn. Thanks
Clear, short and concise. Thumbs up
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.
Wow. One of the most simple ways to learn flash Photography
After long time I see exploring photography with mark Wallace
This is the most useful video I have seen and it's easy to grasp the concept
Excellent ! This is the best explanation I've ever had. Top notch Job !
Nice, clear and very easy video to understand, the best.
That's the clearest and least complex demonstration that I've seen on this. Thanks.
Wow! What a demonstration
Beautifully explained, and the examples demonstrated your lesson very well. Thank you.
I had forgotten about the exposure diamond. Thanks for the reminder Mark. 👍🏼
excellent demonstration of controlling ambient light with flash power
you did a great job at conveying a complex concept in a clear easy way.
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!
Mark is a "light" genius. As they say, "He knows his shit".
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!

great video... very goood... thanks Mark
You are the Best Mr Wallace!
Great idea to call and show is as a diamond. Very understanding. Thanks
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.
This was an absolute great video.
Crucial foundation for someone who starts using a flash ❤
Excellent video Mark, you made it so easy, very nice.
வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி

When you are using hss this diamond doesn’t work
@@gwhech Correct. HSS changes things. Check out the links in the description of this video to understand more about that.
@@gwhech Actually (generally) if shutter speed higher then flash duration this is not applicable. Accordingly as you say, if we are outsdide and we want to use HSS mode and high flash power we should have a problem.
