Kinda late to the party but curious, how far in or out do you set the zoom on your flash head…Narrow or wide ?

Great question! According to the website it goes up to 50" and belt extensions can be requested. I hope that helps!

Do you set the zoom on the flash on wildest or zoom to it's max and do you set your camera metering on spot, mid or wide?
@jessicalowell 6 ай бұрын
Hi Ron! Thanks for watching :-) I do not set the zoom on my flashes at all I found it doesn't really make a difference. And when I'm using flashes I don't depend on the meter on my camera. It's more of the "chimping" method: take a photo, play it back, adjust settings as needed, take another to check - and once its set, "set it and forget it" because for the most part the lighting doesn't change at a reception once it starts. You may have to adjust here and there or for different spots of the room if you have a huge ballroom for example - but that's all I do! Exactly how I describe it.

Does it scratch your camera?
@jessicalowell 9 ай бұрын
Great question! Never! The lenses/glass never even touch the surface of the system because of the angels and the black plastic your body and lenses are made out of are pretty durable! Any scratches you get on them is more from dropping 😬 or accidentally hitting something with them in your hand. I will say if you are using the door and you’re walking with a camera on both hips, you get used to being very careful, walking through a crowd you usually do it sideways to make yourself more narrow. That’s all though! They are 1 million times safer on the Spider Holster than they are on a leather swinging shoulder strap ❤. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for posting! I was looking for more of a comparison between the rf model and the ef v2. I'm looking to purchase the ef model within a week or so, but if it doesn't stack up against the rf version I might have to just wait and save up. I shoot weddings with an R6
@jessicalowell 2 жыл бұрын
the 70-200 is my all time favorite lens - period! I love it more than the 85 1.2 prime because I can get the same amount of pop and bokeh out of it without having to move around so much or switch lenses to get a different focal length. I'd say, go with what you can afford BUT if you're going EF, go ahead and find a good used one like on eBay or in a local photographer group you may be a part of (because many who are upgrading to RF are now selling their EF's). Then, save for the RF version. I used the EF 2.0 lens for 5 years for weddings and portraits just fine and your clients will not know the subtle difference - I promise :)

Thanks, i do think the problem with flash is not that people are scared, but the time it takes. Your solution is great for a room senario, but if you are shooting at multiple locations you need to expose for the background and then add the fill flash. This takes time. And time is not always your friend. 🤔
@jessicalowell 2 жыл бұрын
So true! I think it also depends on how you're wired. If you love technical things and figuring out tech, flash seems to be a breeze. But many creatives are more big picture focused and learn all the tech they need to just get by - this was me for a long time! But finding this "happy place" to start gave me the confidence I needed to learn more. Which is what I hope this video does for those who are stuck, unmotivated, or intimidated (or don't have the time). Thanks so much for watching - and for your tip on exposing for the background! Hope that helps anyone who reads it :0) .

Would Auto ISO with exposure compensation work well for this, Jessica? I'm thinking about how we sometimes get closer or farther from a subject in a quick moving situation like open dancing.
@jessicalowell 2 жыл бұрын
Hey girl, great question!!! I never recommend auto settings (unless its white balance :P ). The distance won't really affect the results as much as you think. If you take a shot and it needs to be adjusted, you just do on the fly like you would on a day the clouds just rolled in. 2-4 flashes is enough to fix just about any minor exposure differences in post, too! Hope that helps!
