Mark is amazing with his instructions!

Mark thanks for you tutorials, very easy to follow. I have watched most of your tutorials helped a great deal.

Another good video from Mark and Adorama, even seven years later. Glad that you added in the discussion of placing the model in the shade with a darker background. I attended an outdoor wedding a while back a d the photographer was an amateur with a nice camera, but no speed lights, and took many family photos with a sky background. I was cringing.

excellent tip! This will come in handy when shooting senior portraits outside!

So good!! You answer the practical important questions other videos seem to leave out. Not being able to shoot in this lightning is like not being able to shoot 80% of the day ahah.

Although I have not yet tried HSS, it is an intriguing aspect of flash photography. I have purchased a flash capable of HSS, and I truly appreciate your time and effort in these videos to help us learn. Stay safe.

Absolutely top notch advice, full of useful concise information, thanks Mark and Adorama TV

Because 2 reasons:
- it's an educative video and not everyone has a 5D mark iii ^^
- Mr Wallace might be sponsored by PocketWiard (have a look on youtube). Not a grief, I would do the same if I had the opportunity ^^

But as always, Mr Wallace masters its subjects: such dedication in sharing his knowledge and such comprehensive videos ^^

Goodness Leann, couldn't take my eyes off you!

You do a great job thoroughly explaining your point in an easy to understand way. Thanks so much!

[victorlaw]

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I have learned something useful here Thank you.

You stole my old vertical flash trick !! Glad you said this technique is a "last ditch solution" --- having done many weddings I always try to move people to a better spot --- but --- its true that sometimes that can't be done -- nor a reflector holding assistant - so this is the last line of defense. Your model is is hot enough to fog the lens !

Thanks Mark, finally a tutorial that made sense and easy to follow

[Identitymediatv]

This is the best most simplified high speed sync tutorial on YouTube. 👏👏👏

Hello Mark,
Where was this video shot? I just found out about 6mo ago you are in Phoenix. I don't know how I missed that fact all these years. I am an Arizona native and now I always want to know where your videos are done. Keep up the great work.

[Adorama]

Yes if it's the Sigma EF 610 Super. No if it's the EF 610 ST

Thank you! Mark Wallace!
I love your videos!

[GailBerreitter]

What is the product you have on the flash? Is it another FlexTT5 or a MiniTT1?

[LongtowerNyc]

Could the same thing be done by using an Nd filter with a speedlight if your camera doesn't have high speed sync?
