Thank you for your tips! Your series on On-camera Flash are the most informative and straightforward I've seen on YouTube! Solved a lot of confusion in me since other videos often involve more than two person (i.e. an assistant is there to hold a reflector) or additional equipments (i.e. light stands) which are not practical for nor relevant to amateurs like me shooting portraits outdoors with no room for extra weight and clunky gear, or simply don't prefer the "luxury" of having someone as third wheel while on a date~
Now that I have the 430EX III-RT, your cord tip actually helped me find a use for my 270EX II in the future (despite it not supporting HSS, other manual modes or native radio triggering), though it's always more handy to be able to swivel in the first place since you won't waste a hand holding something other than the camera body~

Hi Ed, new sub here. Great video about on-camera flash. I also like using the "black foamy thing" popularized by Neil Van Neikerk for providing more directionality and keeping bounced light from spilling onto the subject. Super cheap and easy.

Good to hear a common sense approach to on camera flash, too many “experts” ignore the skill level of their audience.

Thank you! I needed a bigger flash than the built-in one on my Sony A6000 and bought a Godox TT685S. Started to page through all the videos on YT and found not one advising the use of TTL. Dozens of videos on multiple flashes, syncing multiple flashes, ad infinitum. I just needed more flash to photograph events at my church functions. Thank you for directing me to the function for which I have been looking.

Ed thanks for the very helpful series for both on and off camera flash. I don't understand the thumbs down on these videos the material is very useful, presentation is excellent, the info is spot on seems some just enjoy negativity.
