High-speed Flash Sync (HSS) tutorial.

With this tutorial on High Speed Flash Sync, I wanted to visually run through the settings and discuss the implications of our choice of camera settings .... and how we can follow the results on the back of our flash.

More info on the Tangents blog:

There is a certain consistency here that will help us evade guesswork, and that will help bring a systematic approach to our flash photography. And you can confirm all of this for yourself, camera in hand. That’s the best way to learn.

As always, I welcome questions and further discussion in the comments.

What a great tutorial. Thanks for making this video.

The thing that makes your tutorials so valuable is the fact that you repeat the point many times, from different perspectives (camera, flash, and settings) AND you tie them all together. Great job teaching a pretty complex concept!

Really accurate and straightforward information for someone who understands flash, but not HSS. I wish someone would have it explained it to me this way when I was learning it years ago.

I owe my ability to properly use speedlight flashes to you. Over 10 yrs ago I found your tutorials and learned to bounce etc. You are a great teacher and I refer ppl to you that are wanting to learn flash. Thank you so much!

Why this video isn't more popular, I have no idea. Great tutorial

[heathermtaylor]

Ah ha! Thank you. That's clever. I've never heard of the P.A.I.D acronym and f11 for 10ft is a great place to start. I'm off to memorise some numbers, and practice. Thank you.
