5 Minutes to show how I setup my Off Camera Flash!!!

Показать описание

In this video, I show how I setup my camera and flash to achieve proper exposure for Off Camera Flash portraits.

I do use High Speed Sync capable strobes, maybe I can discuss this further in another video if there are people interested.

5 minutes video that gave me so much information compared to the numerous and lenghty video on the same subject that fails to deliver.

Thank you Jason for this clear and concise video!

I really like the way the off camera flash is used here, it enhances the image, being outdoors but still looking natural - quite often it's not used like that, which isn't a style I like.

And just in case anyone was wondering why you can only adjust aperture/iso to effect brightness of flash in image exposure is because the flash pulse duration is much faster than any shutter speed you'd be using, so the added flash light pulse is like 1/20, 000 of a second and is "done" long before your 1/200, 1/2000 etc shutter is done. That's also why most pro cameras give you the choice of first or second curtain flash sync, so it either fires when the shutter first opens, or fires just before the shutter closes...or in the case of high speed sync, the flash fires several times to match up with the Rolling readout of your imager, which is also why ultimate flash power is reduced in high speed sync since the flash can't fire its full power in such rapid progression it needs for the HSS.

One of the very best demos on how to do OCF!

Best explanation of flash photography I've watched so far. Very informative. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! I just got my gear in the mail and set it up right away. I quickly realized I had no clue what I was doing and all my pictures were coming out black in the background and way too bright on my son (who I was practicing on) and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. after I watched your video the images were perfect! so much info in such an easy way to understand.thank you so much.

First time I can understand how to use off light, thank you

Hey, great video. Awesome suggestions on controlling ambient light. Maybe something to add for newbies. I believe you're shooting HSS, in order to get your shutter speed up to 1/2000. Another option, if it's a bright sunny day is an ND filter. Last thing you might mention for beginning photographers is communication with their subjects. For many people, those starter test shots are critical, but they can add tension or confusion if your subject doesn't understand the process.
Great content! Love the tutorial. Cheers.

Your videos have helped me learn my camera and you’re always on point. I have also improved so much. Thank you!

I’ve come across so many videos on exposure for off camera flash and I wish I had come across your video first sir. This was the easiest to understand. Thank you for your video.
