This was super helpful, man! Thanks!
Great tutorial !!! Saved it, so I can study it !!! Many thanks !!!
the shutter speed doesn't have an afect on your flash. I have to sync my shutter speed to my flash
I mainly use ambient light for my gig photos. I used to shoot a lot of social events and the bounce flash was much better. I have shot in the same venue that had very poor lighting and it was much better with the flash in that case.
thanks for this, this was a really helpful. I'm mostly a videographer but have one job that asks me to do flash photography, so having you run through ideas like what how you think about when you are setting exposure made me look at it in different way, and makes total sense. Same things go into thinking about how to light interviews, but I wasn't thinking that was applicable when using flash etc. Anyways, thanks!!
this guys is all over the place…I use flash, but I dont…one day I rescue a kitten from drowning in a pool…do what ever you want…POS!
Amazing, educational videos! Thank you !
3:34 what modern day camera has the flash trigger built in?? I just called my local camera store and they had not heard of this either. I trigger with a wireless trigger 🤔🤔
Was watching car racing and saw some photographers in the pits taking pictures with on camera flash. The camera must have been taking pictures at @10 fps and the flash was keeping up. Canon camera. Couldn't see the model. My camera, eos R, takes pictures at 8fps but when the flash is on it drops to @ 3fps. Am I doing something wrong or does the camera limit the speed? Thanks!
Hi Mik, could the godox PB960 reduce the recicling time in a godox V 680 II ( events)? or doesnt help so much?
Nice man! Would have been cool to show some examples of your work too?
Which canon full frame camera triggers the flash wirelessly without a trigger placed on hot shoe ? 3:30
orange filters are mandatory for all indoor lighting.. heres why.. probably no one will listen to me.. do so at your own peril and learn the hard way.. ive been in so many situations where i think the light is white enough only to find that when i light for flash my backgrounds are orange.. screw that.. i had to train myself to ALWAYS use an orange filter on my flash and white balance my shots for the ambient light.. the flash ends up kissing as a fill light to enhance skin tones.. if you dont use the orange filter, people will look blue.. white balance for the room light and use an orange filter as a fill.. if you disregard my advice i just said to you then have fun looking at your terrible pictures later.. ps im so sick of people who talk down to me and tell me to do the wrong thing.. i learned the hard way and now im telling you the easy way..
im in so many bs situations that the other day i told someone.. its cool.. ill just light everything with my flash.. you know who you are.. ive been experimenting with all the different flash positions and still i like it best when i just shine bare flash at the subjects.. the colors are more vibrant and snappy.. screw shadows.. no one cares.. no other flash configuration delivers as good a picture.. except maybe a 7 foot umbrella.. not happening on my locations..
where do I point my flash if the ceiling is really high and I got no walls to bounce off of?
Great tips. I love using checklists — calms me down. Especially good advice to double your commute time to the event. For me to get to downtown Seattle, I'd probably use one of three bridges…all are drawbridges that can go up unexpectedly!
Appreciate the insights sharing your techniques. Looking forward to trying them out.

Nice video. Thanks bro
About halfway through this video the light dawned! I’ve been setting my flash to M and using exposure compensation. Never thought to use ETTL this way!! I’m an idiot 😮
Thanks Mik, this has to be one of the most succinct, no fluff instructional flash vids on Youtube to date. Straight to the core. Question for you, what are your thoughts on something like the cheapy USB portable Pro-Master strobe. It looks interesting and even has a colour grade adjustment wheel. Thoughts? I'm a Fuji XT-2 guy who is coming off a Godox 685 (too big for me) and Fuji EF-X20 (small but weak as) – Cheers!!
What do you think about this speedlite from canon 430EX? Or what fash do you recommend for canon 5D?
literally zero actual tutorial. Less talking on camera and more talking about the camera and settings would be a huge benefit. Not everyone is an auditory learner.
Thanks!
Sir is there is technic for camer metrring for flash photography
Clear explanation sir
Otherwise, solid advice.
Shutter speed does affect your flash output. When you are shooting HHS, your flash output changes significantly.
What's with the stupid baseball cap?
Just yesterday went to shoot an event… Learnt in the last part. Iso 1000 , flash 1/16, shutter between 125-200.. I wish I had know those earlier . But this is how we learn.
This is just what I needed… Having just bought my first flash as I was so confused about what iso should I use and you have answered it.. I photograph for a animal sanctuary and its not the best lighting so I have been uping the iso to get the shots.. So I got a flash to up the quality of the photos and bounce it.. So should I diel in the iso a normally need then set the flash after?..
Thanks for the tips
Nice work!
I wish you could of shown different photo examples of the effects you are describing…..you know….before and after kind of thing.
I was expecting some sample shots 🙄
I use TTL matrix metering with dedicated flash it gives perfect exposure.
What do you mean “your shutter will not have an impact on your flash output”? Maybe not if you’re using it in manual mode, but it certainly will if you’re using ETTL. That’s kind of the point; the flash syncs with your shutter (depending on if it is within the flash sync speed).
Would have liked it if i saw samples instead of just talking
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! TY,, now off to watch more of your vids!! so east to follow!
Because I cannot give another like, I'm liking the video again by commenting here 🙂
Thanks so much Mik. Loving seeing that you really know what your talking about.
Subbed.
Garbage video. Never shows settings
Very instructive but it would have been useful to see some visual examples?🙂
Wow what a shiit video
How do you handle an environment that is dark and the only light available is a bright magenta light ?
Very good video, it has really helped.
Thanks for the video. May I ask if you made rhe video about the canon r6 and flash settings? And secondly do you ever take off camera flash on a single light stand to an event?
I’m so proud that I got to a stage where this all makes perfect sense 🎉
Pro advice, but not a single shot to show what you are talking about. Why is that?
