Finally someone who breaks it down so easily & covers all the stuff I want to know about 🙏

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Thanks Jenny😁

[@peterc2248]

Hello from London, UK. I think you're one of the few American photography guys I've watched that isn't overly loud and brash. Just laid back, honest and very likeable. Clear concise and honest explanations - great video, thanks.

You gotta be tough to make in the US. We breed competitiveness.

[@Max_filmatic_music]

There are plenty British photography douchetubers that are annoying af what on earth are you on about mate?

[@hiabiy]

@@rl2862 US breeds poverty, greed, and crippling financial recessions disguised as "competitiveness". its one of the ghetto-est first world countries ever

i agree -- God bless you and the fam

What are the Basics of Flash Photography? Modes: 1. Manual: change output manually. 2. TTL: automatically determines output. 3. Multi: more control... set flash to fire multiple times + intervals. Flash Power: 1/1 → 1/256 | brightest → darkest - Brighter can increase recycle time. - Adrian typically shoots 1/32 ~ 1/16. Flash Zoom: Spread/size of flash, - Some have auto setting - Generally, match to lens eg. 35mm 85mm etc Channels: communication between flash & trigger - Match between flash & trigger - If multiple photographers, use separate channels Groups: can assign different flashes to each group

[@theghostsofgiants]

I'm sure someone has already said this or something similar but multi mode is how in like a skateboard magazine you'll see a photo with like multiple images of a skater doing a single trick in one photo, it'll be a long exposure and the flash will illuminate the subject multiple times as it's changing position.

Just wanted to let you know, a year later and your video is still helping people. Thank you

[@josephpetty2268]

@@AdrianLardPhoto no problem! I just bought a Godox V350S and I have a shoot for a formally dressed birthday party (a very good friend of mine). It's going to be getting dark when they arrive and I needed some fill light and needed to know how to use my settings PRONTO lol

[@chaaaaaaaad]

I've watched a half a dozen videos on flash and this is the best one by far! Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this!

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Glad it helped! 😊

[@MurrayVader-xp8iv]

Thanks for this video. Even after doing photography for over 50 I have had trouble with flash photography. This helped a lot.

[@ReflexXTows]

Atleast im not alone. Been a photographer for 15 years but past 2 years iv gotten into dirt sprint cars and such HEAVILY almost entirely taking over my photography. Until then, iv never used a flash so trying to figure it out these past 2 years winging it has been rough since nobody directly really makes "night piss poor back woods bad lighting dusty dirt racing flash photo tutorials" lol

[@ramonmurray_]

Thanks for this video, it really helped a lot and broke everything down in a very easy way to understand.

[@kimberlee8538]

Just got a new flash and was clueless. Super. helpful!

[@Mr_D555]

Wow, three days later I stumble across this video. You answered every question I had on my Godox TT685N settings. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JfhuTheJedi]

This video is all I needed to refresh my memory. Thanks bro!

[@bpbijesh]

So well explained man. Thank you. This was the perfect vedio to get started

[@davidschulder5241]

Thank you. Great beginner discussion, perfect for people like me. You explained the basic idea on so many functions. For instance, I had NO IDEA what that use was for the bounce card. Thanks a lot Dude.

[@kaitlinhorner9631]

[@Stu-Pid861]

I teach photography in the UK. This is one of the best KZbin explanation videos I’ve seen. I loved the fact there wasn’t the usual American bollox at the start of how freaking awesome everything is…you might get a few hundred students subscribe… excellent work fella. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@affectphotography2624]

Thanks dude! Great video. I really like the part about adjusting everything you can 'in camera' and using the flash to fill in the shadows. Thanks for the tips!

[@rjb9377]

excellent job describing the basics. you covered the foundation and gave good advice. and tips. most instruction from other photographers is not as good as yours because your approach is step by step like a well written recipe with no details missing. You start at the beginning and then continue to add info. You gave enough info for me to set up speed lights. THANKS. appreciated it and will look at your other videos on lighting

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Thanks man. I really appreciate your comment.

Great video. I’ve steered clear from flash, because I’ve always been intimidated. This breaks it down pretty easily. 😀

Thanks Mark. It can be confusing when you first start for sure. My advice is take it slow and try to learn one thing at a time.
