  • @flyfishfotofan

    I’m thinking if you are aiming the flash to the side or behind you, the diffuser may not be needed as the bounce off the wall or ceiling will provide the diffusion by spreading the light. And if the diffuser is removed from the cheaper flash I suspect you’ll get more power.

    Absolutely love your channel. It's the best I've seen, without a doubt. Got a question about the Godox power settings. I bought a pair of TT560 II units and I'm curious what power level you'd recommend for an average size room to get the best results. Is it just trial and error or do you have kind a default? I plan to use one hand-held and one stationary to light adjacent rooms, as you've demonstrated.

    Hi! thank you for your great videos. I am watching all of them haha. I am very new to the flash scene, so here's my unexpert question: can you mount a softbox to the TT520II? If so, which one would you recommend? I want to buy a flash that I can use both for interiors and product/artwork photography. Although I have been working as a photographer for the past 2 years, this would be y first light setup purchase, therefore any recommendation is very much appreciated. Thank you!!🙏

    • @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo
      @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo  Рік тому

      Hello! Sorry I missed this until now. I personally like this brand - "Glow" and have used them for pretty much everything in my career so I would highly recommend! This one would be a good starter softbox since it's smaller and will still be a useful size to have long-term if you upgrade to using more flashes and more diffusers. ( amzn.to/3GPRGP8 ) - You'd just need to get this speedlight adapter to clamp in your size of flash to the opening ( amzn.to/3WWSib3 ). On another note, here's the one I started with that's still in great shape - ( amzn.to/3WWSib3 ) - The results are pretty much the same but the materials are a little bit more durable/nicer quality but Westcott's bigger setups are a little over priced IMO. Not sure what you're wanting to do specifically so here's one more reccomendation - a parabolic umbrella. (amzn.to/3XfoXZk) - for interiors you could bounce your flash off of it for accurate colors (on a stand) and also use it for the other types of photography for a soft spread of light. Your call! Lots of options :)

      @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo  2 роки тому

      Great idea ! Was thinking about doing one about how to make flash shots look natural and i just shot some great examples for my course I’m working on that might work for that :) short explaination - balance to the interior color temp for any inside shot whether or not it’s flash or just ambient layer, and outside color temp for window views so everything in the final edit is “color accurate” as the goal. Sometimes it can get a little complicated but hope that helps for now! :)

So I’m nit sure if my camera setting are correct or the flash isn’t set up properly. The test flash works great. Just when taking photos. 😊

    • @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo
      @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo  Рік тому +1

      Hey! If it's working when you push the test button (wirelessly) but not when you take a photo, it might be your in-camera flash settings are not enabled. So make sure to check that or it could also be that your hotshoe (where the transmitter connects ontop of your camera) needs to be cleaned. You can do that with anything rubber like a pencil eraser in case it has some build up on it messing with the connection.

    • @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo
      @TaylorBrownPhotoVideo  2 місяці тому

      Usually off axis back at the wall by the doorway works well (whichever wall is closest to the direction of the natural light coming in usually looks most natural). So for that literally stand behind your camera and reach your arm in as far as you can and point the flash back left or right. Just watch out for hot spots where you can tell there’s a flash and adjust accordingly (or get a few options to work with in post)

      @@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo If i have the live view on and hit the button to shoot the photo the flash will not go off remotely. If I turn off the live view the flash will go off. This is while using the remote trigger. When the flash is attached to the camera it's fine both ways. I can't seem to find any information from Godox either. It's just a little annoying shooting on the tripod trying to see what I'm doing and turning the live view on and off while holding the flash. I was wondering if it was a setting that I missed. You didn't seem to have an issue right out of the box! Again thanks for the flash recommendation it really is amazing for $50.

So for outdoor shots probably not very helpful, but for studio / product macro shots it would probably work fine.

      If you're doing events in smaller spaces, and have a lens with a wider aperture (2.0 or so) - probably will be ok to add some fill flash. BUT I'd think it wouldn't be great for big rooms or if you need to do fast bursts of photos (the cheaper flash) since the recycle time is slower. That's part of why I got my V1 flash for though - works great for events!

      Hey! I haven't tried that but I think you'd have to have a flash + camera with really high sync speeds for that to be possible so I'd think it wouldn't work for the darker shots. Likely though, if you're using flash you won't really need/want to use HDR since adding the flash reduces the need for more dynamic range which is what HDR processing does (since with flash you're increasing the interior brightness to much closer to the exterior brightness).
