Flash Photography - A Tutorial on the Basics

[@tomjohnson1110]

As a soon to be retiree ( 23 Jan ) next year. I've decided to take up photography as a hobby. Your explanation of how a flash works is the best I've seen and I could actually understand everything. From now on it will be down to trial and error.😁

Nice beginning tutorial. Bravo.

[@Todd_Kuhns]

Ha, you know I’ve attempted this before.

@@Todd_Kuhns It's not an easy subject to teach via video without considerable effort. If I had one suggestion... add comparison images similar to the phone. As visual learner its easier for me to hear the explanation and see the results. Just my 2 cents.

Love this! Would love one on studio lights!

[@Todd_Kuhns]

I’ll make a note if that. Anything specific you’d like to see?

@@wrise8471 Thanks for the idea. You've got me thinking and planning.

Very informative video, Todd. Would love to see you continue developing this into a "mini-series" to keep building on flash photography, expanding on one light studio setup, then what difference it makes adding a second light, then a third. Maybe what back lighting does for the subject,, be it an object or a person. Then maybe how light can be used outside, coordinated with sunlight direction. Looking forward to another one! Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately you only have the audio on the left channel. If the video is listened to with headphones it is quite painful. It is best to play your video again with the audio source in mono.

Thanks for letting me know
