Hey Joey...i think we got the single pretty girl down. Would love to see couples, group, maternity ocf techniques for beginners. Keep up the good work!
Just wanna say I really appreciate all the great videos and all the help. I just ordered the Ad300 pro yesterday watching your channel really helped me!
Hello. I just found you on UA-cam as I am learning flash photography. I liked and subscribed. You explain your process very well and I’ll be watching more of your videos. Thanks for helping me.
Amigo, you have come such a long way. Makes me proud to know you are from the RGV. Keep up the great work. BTW, I still have and use that Paul C Buff Parabolic Umbrella I picked you from you in Mission years back. It's still ticking.
A reflector is really helpful too. I should actually make a video on that. It only gets a bit hard with wind and getting a stand to hold the reflector.
So many questions answered in just 8 minutes. Fantastic. Thank you so much. The last settings (f2, 1/1600, ISO 100, Flash 1/2) were shown at 4:04. Were the rest of the photos in the second half shot using the same settings?
I love your technic! Exactly what I want to do. But in my case I don't have time to adjust everything. I do events photography & time is too short. I use aperture priority & ttl mode with hss but somehow I feel missing something. Can you give me any tip?
You addressed the exposure, but for off camera flash, could you also address flash placement (angle, distance) and approximate power setting at that distance for a start? I know it might need to be adjusted up/down according to the situation and effect you want, but what's a rough guide to start out?
Quick question: When using a OTU CAM FLASH. Where can I view or find images of taken pictures from the camera. ( I'm kinda trying to figure out on how and where to find it. Please I need help on this problem.
Focusing and recomposing sucked.😬 I'd never go back to doing that. I actually bought a Canon 6D again last year and it has face tracking now. But if it didn't have that feature then yes I would be forced to focus and recompose OR use a focus point on the face to take my photo.
@@fjhphoto I just recently got the Canon 5D mark ii and I've realized it's just a matter of hopping my favorite shots after a photoshoot are in focus. Otherwise learned a lot from your tutorials. Recently did a shoot during a bright day using hss and a single Speedlite and just applying what I've learned from you just worked flawlessly 🔥🔥🔥
Hey my x2t trigger connects to my tt600 but when I take a photo with my camera it doesn’t shoot the flash. How do I go about fixing that and connecting my x2t with the camera
I'm upset with Adorama lately, been trying to trade in my Flashpoint/Godox AD400 Pro and get the AD300 Pro. I have submitted a trade in request form or whatever its called several times and I have yet to receive a reply from them. I'm gonna try Allen's Camera next.
Hi Mr Hernandez, I do have one question, continuous light, as far as the photo outcome goes, is it better to use the flash or continuous? I don’t understand the difference in regards to making the photo look better.. Hope I made sense ! Thank you sm
I had a similar problem . I went out for a photoshoot and it was sunny ☀️ n i used sony a7iii with a godox trigger with godox ad600 . Shooting on manual mode. So when i mounted my trigger on my camera n turn on the trigger it auto changed my settings and my images were to expose. I had to reduce to aperture in other to reduce the amount of light coming into to he sensor but i lost that depth of field. And i didnt enjoy the effect on the flash light d way i expected . What could be the problem boss? Can u help me with some clarifications?
You need to leave the transmitter off when adjusting your settings to expose for the photo. Once you like the exposure then you can turn the transmitter on. The screen will not show how the photo will be exposed because you are using flash. The only solution is to take a photo and see how you like it and then make adjustments after. If you feel that there is not enough ambient light then you can slow the shutter or raise ISO. This means you will reduce the flash a bit as well. If you feel there is too much ambient light then you do the opposite and lower the ISO or raise the shutter then raise the power of the flash.
I heard you mention on one of your videos that you are located in So. Texas, where abouts are you? I am in Corpus Christi and was wondering if you ever did any kind of mentoring where you let someone shadow one of your shoots. Just wondering as I am trying to get the hang of shooting with off camera strobe.I will probably get the hang of it eventually but being retired I have the time to explore resources to try and get it right. Seeing first hand how you do it would be awesome!!!
@@fjhphoto that would be awesome! Let me know when you are in town but I can also travel to Mission whenever. Let me know your schedule, not sure if you shoot full time or otherwise.
I tend to use auto white balance. I just find that it does a great job choosing the temperature. Since I shoot raw I can always do slight adjustments if I feel they're needed.
Two questions. Does having the wheels on the c stand help prevent the wind from blowing it over? I see you have the weight on it too but wondering if the wheel help prevent it from tipping since it will roll. Your setting of 1/2 power with that 400 strobe, is that the same as using a 200 strobe at full power?
The wheels are mainly there just to make it easier to move around. Unfortunately my back light actually fell during this photoshoot because a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere. The weight did it's job for most of the photoshoot except when that huge gust came. Yup, the 400 at 1/2 power would equal the 200 at full power.
@@fjhphoto thanks for the info. Yeah my ad300 got wrecked when the wind blew it over. I practically paid for a new one repairing the back LCD, replacing the bulb, and the internal circuitry to make it flash. Hopefully yours won’t be as bad as mine.
as per me when u click ur photo u may provide the exif details each time when u show us the photos so that we can learn also u may provide the details that the photo which u r showing us that is edited or raw thanks..
Added the exif to the photos before the photoshoot began. The exif for the photos once it started were about the same settings. In the new location I just switched to 1/3200th, f/2.8, ISO 100, and stayed at 1/4th power.
Well done! Simple, direct and no distractions.

Excellent as always thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching.😊
Can you make a video about white balance while using off camera flash, and how to maintain perfect skin tone.
I too like off camera FLAS tutorials
Great video
The thumbnail spelled "flas". not sure if that intentional, but I believe it was "flash"? nevertheless, great video as always
This is what I get for making it on little sleep.😅
@@fjhphoto take rest man.. health is wealth. May you continue to make good videos
Amigo, you have come such a long way. Makes me proud to know you are from the RGV. Keep up the great work. BTW, I still have and use that Paul C Buff Parabolic Umbrella I picked you from you in Mission years back. It's still ticking.

Did you use deflector plate inside the beauty dish?
Thank so much but my lenes aperture is f.4 how can i get like you
Which lens do you have? You can still create good photos with f/4.
Thanks for sharing. Are you double diffusing and using a beauty dish on the GLOW Softbox?

I would like to know what setting do you recommend for the white balance in this session
Very good video. Quick question what white balance do you normally use when you're shooting outside with flash? Thx
I typically use auto white balance. I find it works great for me. In lightroom I might add a tiny bit more warmth but usually I like what it decides.
@@fjhphoto Thank you for the quick response. Keep up the great work and FYI I have been a sub for years. Thx again
Are you on Manuel mode
What trigger are you using with the lighting
Does you have the permit to shoot in town like that?
Not using your ND filters anymore?

@@fjhphoto that would be awesome! Let me know when you are in town but I can also travel to Mission whenever. Let me know your schedule, not sure if you shoot full time or otherwise.
did you use nd filter for the last shoot
No ND filter used in this video. I want to make another video where I use one for this process.
What WB do you use when using your flash outside?
I tend to use auto white balance. I just find that it does a great job choosing the temperature. Since I shoot raw I can always do slight adjustments if I feel they're needed.
what camera/lens did you use for taking the video and why you frequently are not in focus? Is your camera/lens broken or wrong focus configuration?
Sony A7C and Sigma 16 f/1.4. This is the first time this has happened out of maybe 50+ videos.
🤝🏽🙌🏽❤️

What camera/lens were you shooting the video with? Seems to have issues with face/eye AF.
Sony A7C and the Sigma Art 50 1.4. I had a ND filter on it but it never had issues using one before.

That is not a beginners guide!
How could I have done better to make this more of a beginner's guide. I want to help.
@@fjhphoto my current and two previous cameras Canon r6m2, 5D4 and 6D had no flash. I guess I need intro to flash for people without a flash.
@@NickNoblePhotography I can work on a video like that.😊
@@fjhphoto Awesome. My ultimate goal is to learn how to use flash with people in Milky Way Photography!!
@@fjhphoto Thanks. If it fits in your plan for your channel!
Hi bro .
Would you recommend the tamroon 35-150 and yes it is so why
Do you have a channel in Spanish?
