Thank you Stephan, I've wanted to get into flash photography and having found yr channel has given me the direction on what to buy. I look forward to more of your fantastic tutorials. Many thanks from UK.
Thanks for this tutorial--I just unboxed some off camera flashes and am figuring out how to use them, so this was much needed information. Also--you made the foggy background with FLOUR. Wow!!!!! I love this effect!!!!!!
Canon flash systems are very versatile and work well, but can be complex and difficult to remember certain settings, the pre flash of E-TTL can also confuse some people. I really enjoyed this video, you showed great examples of the settings and well done for your time and work.
Superb video, I've just ordered 2 X Yongnuo 685 and a 622c tx for bird photography so this was especially helpful. Some stunning shots there especially those with the flour.
This was great information Stephan but it's a little beyond the basics. Would you consider making a tutorial about the basics of the YN685 meaning how to set it up and use it both on the camera and off? There is nothing out there in the way of a basic tutorial on this equipment. I'm using Nikon gear. Thanks Stephan!
Hi, Stephan i want to go with Yongnuo digital flash guns. can you suggest which is better with canon 6D. yes i need it ttl as well high speed though i dont have to shoot sports but want to do wedding but i mostly used prime lens like 135mm f2 and 50mm f1.8 and also future plan with prime only. can you guide me Yongnuo 568 EX would be best ? or any other new. also which trigger is better with 6D ? i want to control power with it. or any other better way to make budgeted combo. Do you have Yongnuo 568 EX and YN 622 triggers how this works in english version ?
Hey there, just found your channel i'm super impressed with it and even more so your photography. I'm now following you here and on flickr and cant wait to explore further. I do have a couple questions for you, *Do you know if the YN560 IV + III can support high speed syncing? *Do i need 2 568 or can i use the built on radio on the above for the receivers ? Again thanks for sharing your knowledge and artwork with me ! -jeffrey
Castiel Diallo@ The 603s are for manual flash only...not HSS nor TTL. You need the 622 triggers which does both + the (optional) 622 TX master for controlling the flash from the camera.
Nice shots,specially the ones with the gymnasts. Interesting tutorial (I guess its a lots of experimentation). My only doubt is regarding the reliability of the Yongnuo (because I have seen some reviews in Amazon where people complain about that). How is your experience regarding that Stephan? Thanks :)
Stephan, during HSS, you say at higher shutter speeds the flash looses power. Is it just because in HSS the flash is more akin to ambient light and at higher shutter speeds the opening in the shutter gets narrower and narrower meaning less light hitting sensor ? or does the flash actually emit less power?
It loses power because, in normal flash settings, ie up to the sync speed of your camera, the flash fires once. In high speed flash mode, at higher shutter speeds, the flash fires many times to cover the frame as the 'slit' made by the shutter curtains travels across the frame. As the shutter speed is higher that slit is narrower so the flash fires more times, Sync speed of any camera is, the shutter speed setting at which there is a momentary situation where the first curtain has reached the bottom and the second curtain is about to move, at that moment, the flash fires. One big flood of light and the frame is fully open to it. In the old days that could be as low as 1/30 or 1/60, because shutters were slower, in modern cameras shutter are now very fast or, can be electronic and can be up to 1/250 or more.
i noticed also that as soon as the sync speed goes beyond the camera sync speed, the flash losses power because it uses much of the flash battery and battery dies faster.
Ich suche eine Kamera (bis 500€ da ich noch Schüler bin) die gute Sportaufnahmen macht:) Es ist egal ob Canon oder Nikon aber keine Sony:) Könnt ihr mir helfen, denn ich hatte die 700d im Blick, da aber manche geschrieben haben dass sie nicht zufrieden wären überlege ich grade.
SkillBrothers RD Das hat nichts mit diesem Video zu tun .-) Und ich gebe keine Kaufempfehlungen. Wenn Du in die Runde fragst, wird Dir jeder was anderes sagen. Soviel sei aber gesagt: Gut und Billig geht halt nur bedingt und Sportaufnahmen sind die anspruchsvollsten (was die Ausrüstung angeht). Es hat einen Grund, warum Sportfotografen ne D4S oder 1DX bezahlen. . .
Vielen Dank für die prompte Beantwortung, jetzt hätte ich noch eine Frage, wie verhält es sich mit dem YN 565 ex? Ich meine mit dem Speedsynchronisation, in Manila im moment nur dieses yn haben Sie da auch Info, da ich hier in Manila nur das bekommen kann. Vielen Dank nochmal
Hab' gestern dein Video genau über das Thema angeschaut, in dem du auch über TFP Verträge und Urheberrecht gesprochen hast. Wollte mir Yongnuos kaufen und da hab ich das Photo gesehen und es kam mir recht bekannt vor. Kannst ja mal schauen, ob man sich "gütlich" einigt und die dir ein paar Blitze schicken ;-) . Ich glaube wenn du denen drohst Amazon einzuschalten würde sich bei denen schon was bewegen. Die Erfahrung habe ich zumindest bei chinesischen Shops und der Androhung schlechter Bewertungen gemacht. Viele Grüße Namensvetter Stephan

+Mark Harris thank you Mark :-) Have fun with your new yongnuos :-)
Thanks for sharing your skills and experience and in English! Started following you today.
welcome :-)
Thanks for the vids. Watched both. Also many thanks for telling us how you used the flower. If I had to guess it would of been a special affect in PP.
Hello Stephan, I go to buy yn 565ex II. Is compatible with this tecnique? Thanks 4 the video
This was great information Stephan but it's a little beyond the basics.

There is nothing out there in the way of a basic tutorial on this equipment. I'm using Nikon gear. Thanks Stephan!
your english is very relaxing !
I wonder if I can use this same setup off-camera with Sony a7r2? Or will HSS not work with Sony, even off-camera?
Hi Stephan, this setup works with a Canon 1DX m2? Thanks 4 the video ;)
Yes , it works w/ the 1DX MII 😀😋
Try experimenting with the stroboscopic mode in your flashes...
Brilliant, thank you. That's really helped clear up a few things.
Great and interesting. Helps to understand hss. Thanks
This video is great. Thank you for helping us learn.
+pitbullchristian you are very welcome :-)
Hi, Stephan
i want to go with Yongnuo digital flash guns. can you suggest which is better with canon 6D. yes i need it ttl as well high speed though i dont have to shoot sports but want to do wedding but i mostly used prime lens like 135mm f2 and 50mm f1.8 and also future plan with prime only.
can you guide me Yongnuo 568 EX would be best ? or any other new. also which trigger is better with 6D ? i want to control power with it.
or any other better way to make budgeted combo.
Do you have Yongnuo 568 EX and YN 622 triggers how this works in english version ?
can you describe the entire layout and materials used for the Karate Shots.. That is Incredible!!!
Hey there, just found your channel i'm super impressed with it and even more so your photography. I'm now following you here and on flickr and cant wait to explore further.
I do have a couple questions for you,
*Do you know if the YN560 IV + III can support high speed syncing?
*Do i need 2 568 or can i use the built on radio on the above for the receivers ?
Again thanks for sharing your knowledge and artwork with me !
-jeffrey
+jeffrey brooks YN560 don't support HSS. You need 622 triggers and the high end flashes from Yongnuo
+Stephan Wiesner How do you achieve HSS with Sony cameras the A7 series please?
does this work with the yongnuo 603 triggers/receivers?
Castiel Diallo@ The 603s are for manual flash only...not HSS nor TTL. You need the 622 triggers which does both + the (optional) 622 TX master for controlling the flash from the camera.
Hi Stephan, I have the Yongnuo 568 EX (Nikon version) but I can't get the HSS icon to turn on the flash. Can you tell me how to do this?
do you use it on or off camera? if on-camera you might need to switch your camera settings (Menu-bracketing/flash-e5-auto FP) and change FP to on.
Hello, I´m from México, what is the white material that you use like dust?
normal flower for baking
And inspire me in your photos, I'll try something and I'll show it to you
Please correct me if I am wrong.... as 6d is not capable to trigger flash in hss, this is possible because you are using 622c triggers?
+Darko Zivkovic The 6D IS capable of using HSS flashes. I use it all the time. You need special triggers, like the 622c, for that.
Hi Stephan; can you fit three speedlites, each with radio receiver on the McNally triflash ?
yes that works with small receivers.
What this mean 7:54
SEK. BEI F/4.0¿?
Thank you very much for such a good explanation! Very helpful! :)
Hi, what flash do you use?
Stephan uses the Yongnuo 560 III or the Yongnuo 560 IV 😊
When using HSS, are you able to adjust the power of the flash?
Thanks.
+Stephen O'Sullivan Yes.
Nice shots,specially the ones with the gymnasts. Interesting tutorial (I guess its a lots of experimentation).
My only doubt is regarding the reliability of the Yongnuo (because I have seen some reviews in Amazon where people complain about that). How is your experience regarding that Stephan?
Thanks :)
I find them very reliable. I have been using them for years and no problems at all.
Merci Stephan for your quick reply. It's good to know that an affordable flash like Yongnuo is reliable.
Incredibly helpful video thank you
+Tony Argyrou You are very welcome :-)
hi Stefan, gibts das auch auf Deutsch ? weil mich das HSS voll neugierig macht, gruß Gerd
Gerhard Wagner Ja. Der Linkt steht im Text zum Video...

great video for begginers
Awesome stuff thanks
Ich suche eine Kamera (bis 500€ da ich noch Schüler bin) die gute Sportaufnahmen macht:)
Es ist egal ob Canon oder Nikon aber keine Sony:)
Könnt ihr mir helfen, denn ich hatte die 700d im Blick, da aber manche geschrieben haben dass sie nicht zufrieden wären überlege ich grade.
SkillBrothers RD Das hat nichts mit diesem Video zu tun .-) Und ich gebe keine Kaufempfehlungen. Wenn Du in die Runde fragst, wird Dir jeder was anderes sagen. Soviel sei aber gesagt: Gut und Billig geht halt nur bedingt und Sportaufnahmen sind die anspruchsvollsten (was die Ausrüstung angeht).

Wie du meinst...
Schade
SkillBrothers RD Lass dich nicht entmutigen. Kauf dir einfach die 700D mit dem 50-250mm und du bekommst ganz gute BQ
Aber wenn es manche sagen die die 700d getestet haben dann ist schon was drann
awesome
F7.1 is not possible on a Canon 6d
johan bauwens why should it not be possible? It is on mine .-)
I just tried, and you are right :-)
sorry
Warum können Sie das nicht auf deutsch machen???
Das Video gibt es auch auf deutsch.
Vielen Dank für die prompte Beantwortung, jetzt hätte ich noch eine Frage, wie verhält es sich mit dem YN 565 ex? Ich meine mit dem Speedsynchronisation, in Manila im moment nur dieses yn haben Sie da auch Info, da ich hier in Manila nur das bekommen kann.
Vielen Dank nochmal
Hallo Stephan, dein Photo wird jetzt auch auf Amazon für den Verkauf von Yongnuos verwendet. Nur zur Info... VG
( www.amazon.de/dp/B06Y658Z33?psc=1 )
Unglaublich. Das ist jetzt der Moment, wo man mal über Klage nachdenken kann. Aber bis ich da was von den Chinesen kriege, habe ich graue Haare.

Ist ein kleiner, neuer Händler. Habe Amazon informiert, aber mehr als die Löschung des Fotos wird das nicht bringen

kkkkkk 😊😊😊😊
Stellt mal den deutschen Untertitel an. Lachkrampf garantiert.
you talk way way too much. get to the point... I turned off after 5mins
