Finally someone who breaks it down so easily & covers all the stuff I want to know about 🙏
Thanks Jenny😁
Hello from London, UK. I think you're one of the few American photography guys I've watched that isn't overly loud and brash. Just laid back, honest and very likeable. Clear concise and honest explanations - great video, thanks.
You gotta be tough to make in the US. We breed competitiveness.
There are plenty British photography douchetubers that are annoying af what on earth are you on about mate?
@@rl2862 US breeds poverty, greed, and crippling financial recessions disguised as "competitiveness". its one of the ghetto-est first world countries ever
i agree -- God bless you and the fam
What are the Basics of Flash Photography?
Modes:
1. Manual: change output manually.
2. TTL: automatically determines output.
3. Multi: more control... set flash to fire multiple times + intervals.
Flash Power: 1/1 → 1/256 | brightest → darkest
- Brighter can increase recycle time.
- Adrian typically shoots 1/32 ~ 1/16.
Flash Zoom: Spread/size of flash,
- Some have auto setting
- Generally, match to lens eg. 35mm 85mm etc
Channels: communication between flash & trigger
- Match between flash & trigger
- If multiple photographers, use separate channels
Groups: can assign different flashes to each group
I’ve been shooting for years, and have also been a little confused about my flash. You explained exactly what I wanted to know. Such a simple but concise explanation. Thank you!
Love love love how simple this video is! I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam videos where I end up confused but man this is hands down the best video to refer to for anyone wanting to learn speedlight!
I've watched a half a dozen videos on flash and this is the best one by far! Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this!
This is a guy who is the type who is not afraid to pick something up and teach himself. Much respect to guys like him. I agree with just about everything he says. Great stuff bro. Keep it coming. Guys like you are how I learn. Thanks for your time and knowledge
THANKYOU! I needed the basics to get started and you provided just that. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials
Thank you! A clear and understandable introduction without all the jargon - exactly what I needed!!
Thank you so much. At long last someone who understands the needs of his viewers. Great help.
Thank you. Great beginner discussion, perfect for people like me. You explained the basic idea on so many functions. For instance, I had NO IDEA what that use was for the bounce card. Thanks a lot Dude.
Simple, concise and informative. Well done, Adrian. Thank you very much!!
Just wanted to let you know, a year later and your video is still helping people. Thank you
Wow, three days later I stumble across this video. You answered every question I had on my Godox TT685N settings. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the simple yet detailed information. You answered 75% of my questions in 10 minutes! 👊🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much for breaking this down in an easy to understand way! Covered all the info I was looking for!
really helpful man! thanks for sharing this. I shoot mainly with natural light but looking to expand and get out of my comfort zone this year
This was wonderful. Thank you for explaining it so seamlessly
This was absolutely perfect. I'm a cinematographer and I am wanting to teach my kids portrait photography. So while this is easy for me to understand, you've given me the perfect tool to teach them. Thank you!!!!
Wow, that's great to hear. I really appreciate this comment and I'm glad the video was helpful.
The most helpful and simple video I have found on Flash so far!! Thank you for making it so easy
Thank you so much!!! I have looked up so many videos and this actually makes sense!!! I am going to go check out your other videos now!
I'm sure someone has already said this or something similar but multi mode is how in like a skateboard magazine you'll see a photo with like multiple images of a skater doing a single trick in one photo, it'll be a long exposure and the flash will illuminate the subject multiple times as it's changing position.
Great job, Adrian. I played all afternoon with my new flash and you helped sort it our for me. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Thank you so much! I was having trouble finding a video that explained it in simple terms, but then I found your video and it’s super helpful.
Glad it helped! 😊
excellent job describing the basics. you covered the foundation and gave good advice. and tips. most instruction from other photographers is not as good as yours because your approach is step by step like a well written recipe with no details missing. You start at the beginning and then continue to add info. You gave enough info for me to set up speed lights. THANKS. appreciated it and will look at your other videos on lighting
Thanks man. I really appreciate your comment.
Awesome explanation of flash. Thanks for even being transparent about not using Multi mode itll force folks to go learn more about it.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Great video. I’ve steered clear from flash, because I’ve always been intimidated.
This breaks it down pretty easily. 😀
Thanks Mark. It can be confusing when you first start for sure. My advice is take it slow and try to learn one thing at a time.
Thank you! Been struggling with understanding my flash - Your video has been extremely helpful! 👍
This is literally the first of about 100 videos I’ve searched in the past 2 days that actually explained what it is, what it does, and how to use it. Definitely subscribed!
