Take your photography to the next level with Speedlight | Strobe Photography Tutorial

[@-WhizzBang-]

If you have nothing to bounce the light, you can always go wireless and remove the flash off the camera and hold it at 45degrees with one hand and take a photo with the other. This works and is better than straight on flash!

[@CameraToFreedom]

That is my favorite thing to do also and I’ll also be making a tutorial on that as well since it’s a different kind of flash technique. Everyone should definitely learn that. Thanks for sharing!

[@-WhizzBang-]

@@infocus_media Yeah, not a good idea to try and do both yourself. Use a stand or get someone else to hold the flash for you!

The explanation of how bouncing light is like playing pool helped so much. Always struggled with how to position my flash so it bounces properly, but makes total sense now and I'm eager to get my next flash gig to test it out in real-time!

[@CameraToFreedom]

So happy to have helped! Keep it up!

I love how you relate bounce splash to Pool. That’s very helpful.

[@CameraToFreedom]

Thank you for the nice comment :)

[@melkelrossette1725]

Nice tutorial! In case anyone is still confused, I always do: Method 1: shutter speed: 1/200, match your ISO and flash power, adjust aperture to your liking. Method 2: I start my my shutter at 1/200, aperture at f/4, ISO at 400, and flash at 1/16. Too dark? Raise your ISO to 800. Cheers!

[@CameraToFreedom]

That’s a great setting too!

[@SurferKroky]

You could also use an ND filter

[@CameraToFreedom]

You can but that’s not the most efficient way. Great thing about photography there’s so many ways of doing one thing.

[@samn2194]

I’m so thankful that I came across this video. I had to shoot an indoor event today and I always faced issues with the lighting. Today was the first time that I ever used an external flash and I made use of the ceiling bounce light method, and it was truly a game changer. Nobody is ever gonna believe that I shot the pictures with a eos1300d 😂. Many thanks for sharing your tutorial ❤

Wow Laura, thank you so much for the kind comment. That definitely gets me. Excited to keep doing what I’m doing. I have a video that I’m editing now that will show how to take sunset photos with a couple using your speed light.

[@NatBKyiv]

Funny that you mentioned that you don’t like to stand in front of people during first dance. I always thought I was overthinking that moment. But it is nice to know that not only I think it’s inappropriate. Thanks

[@CameraToFreedom]

Right?! I still see photographers and videographers who have no etiquette and just think of getting the shot no matter what which really sucks. They will always exist.

[@NatBKyiv]

@@CameraToFreedom yes. Like they don’t understand that it’s not about them but about people’s wedding. It is more important to let people enjoy birth of a family than have perfect pictures

[@Michal_Kosakowski]

Nice tips. I would add from my experience, when everything is too dark around to bounce, use mini softbox or dome on straight flash shots. Makes them a bit softer. Also sometimes in this situations I use off camera option, just holding the flash with my left hand to the side and angled down. It looks nicer, but the trade off is you only have one hand to operate the camera.

[@CameraToFreedom]

That off camera is the best! My next photography flash video is going to be all about strobe photography. It deserves its own video. Thanks for sharing Michael!

[@Michal_Kosakowski]

@@CameraToFreedom Nice. Looking forward to next video.

[@maxx-er3fj]

I made mini softbox from white eva foam and added black foam outside, looks almost professional, and difuses light good. When there is no ceiling to bounce the light off, it works.

[@goldenfrog6EsCoSes]

I´m very much an amateur photographer, but I managed to get some great shots at a family baptism party by bouncing the flash off the walls and ceiling. I've got a Godox V860II, which I bought for macro photography. It also has a rechargeable battery that lasts for ages. It came in really handy when I was press-ganged into doing the baptism, as they didn't want to pay for a professional photographer.

[@CameraToFreedom]

[@HateCrewMTL]

Shout-outs to you for this video. I just got back from a Golf tournament and I used a speedlight at the reception hall. I was always reluctant to use a flash, but your tutorial helped me understand how to use it efficiently and it level up'd my game. Much appreciated!

[@CameraToFreedom]

Man! What a nice comment! Definitely motivates me to keep doing this! Love to know that I’m actually helping some of my camera folks!

[@AndrianaAndri]

Main points of the explanation: The first technique is bounce flash, which involves bouncing the flash off the ceiling or wall to create soft lighting. The second technique is straight forward flash, which involves directing the flash directly at the subject. Use the TTL mode on the flash for automatic settings that make it easier to achieve proper lighting. When using flash during daylight, TTL can also help reduce overly dark shadows. Choose a flash with high-speed sync feature to adjust for high shutter speeds when using flash during the day. Recommended flash option is the Flashpoint Godox, as it is more affordable, has TTL capabilities, and uses long-lasting lithium batteries. The Flashpoint Godox also has a wireless transmission system that allows for remote control of flash power.

[@CameraToFreedom]

Wow Adriana! This is so awesome of you. Made this super clear. Great summary!!! 🙌🏽

[@OkwyUgonweze]

To say that Nikon don’t have the high speed sync feature is to show you don’t know your flash and the Nikon system . Just set your sync to auto fp and you are good . I have all the godox lights you can think of but none of their speedlight is as efficient and powerful as the Nikon Sb 5000. But I will admit that the godox is a full mature system of lighting .

[@CameraToFreedom]

I said some. The more expensive nikon flash has them. In the end they’re all kinda the same. They pop flashes.

Good video - enjoyed it. Just one comment. The explanation of bounce at the beginning was good because people assume that they need to angle the flash forward 45 degrees etc which is wrong as you said. An easier explanation of where to point the flash is simply say "Point the flash to the point where you would have wanted the light source to be (typically just behind and above you)....

[@CameraToFreedom]

I’ve owned both for a long time. Save your money and buy the mirrorless. I have the lowest one Z6 and it’s so amazing for both photos and video. Those dslr are bad with video and you will want that option in case. Photos is amazing too since the Z has face detection. But if you had to get dslr, they’re both great so get the cheaper one and buy lens.

Hello Myong, nice to greet you, first of all a warm greeting from the city of Mexicali, Baja California. Mexico. Today I was fortunate to find your video and it has made it clear to me how to work with the flash in situations in which I always feel insecure about working, normally I don't take photos of events such as weddings or other types of celebrations such as the famous XV years of the ladies and for the same reason that due to the lack of experience it is not something that I usually do because I work more in the studio and some outdoors, but in closed events I have not done it for years. Anyway, I'll tell you that your video (and despite the fact that I'm not very good at speaking English) has made it more than clear to me how or how to work with flash, now I just need to put it into practice and see if I learned it in theory I can take it to actual practice. You have a very clear way of explaining without so much thinking about things that it is easy to keep up with the information. Thank you very much again and we keep in touch.

What if ceilings are really high? Go for the wall?

First test out the ceiling bounce cause if the ceiling is white enough, it will still bounce. If it doesn’t then use the walls. If walls are too far then just direct flash but bring that power very low and let it gently flash the subject.

One must learn the concepts of ISO, Aperature & Shutter Speed. Three of most important things you must understand first to undertand photography in a manual settings were you tell your camera what to do rather than in an automatic setting were your camera tells you what it thinks. Otherwise your just guessing. Take a photography class or watch a lot of videos on KZbin about these three subjects.

This is the first comment talking about my camera autofocus and you’re right! I still use this camera for my KZbin videos. It’s the nikon z6. I have so many great cameras but I just use my nikon z6. Ow that I have the nikon z8 that’ll be my KZbin video!!!

The cast light is called Rembrandt lighting. Great tut

[@CameraToFreedom]

Ooh learning something new everyday. Thanks for sharing that!

[@tanako98]

You can bounce it off a white surface or a reflector to the side etc..

[@CameraToFreedom]

Yes, I mention that in the video also but thank you for the comment 🙌🏽

I have a TTL flash from godox. Was not using it properly for sure. I rarely ever take pictures with The flash. Taking on different clients I'm trying to learn.

[@CameraToFreedom]

Good! I hope you got something from my video. Check out the next level of speedlight photography here: Level up in Photography with High Speed Sync HSS | Speedlight Strobe Flash Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWirip15hLWEg7M

Hafa Adai. Dope seeing a KZbin photographer from the islands

[@CameraToFreedom]

Hafa Adai Howard. Representing our island the best I can 🇬🇺❤️💪🏽

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

Great video! Thank you. I have a Godox Speedlight, and it is great until you want to update the software...

[@CameraToFreedom]

I didn’t even know they had firmware update! What was fixed?

[@julianpickens3114]

Great video I’m new to photography and I never even knew the camera bouncing method

[@CameraToFreedom]

Glad you found my tutorial Julian. I got some more photography tutorials so be sure to check it out and learn some tricks.

[@fourtweven]

I was looking at the Godox V1 and noticed that there is a Godox V1-C. Is there a difference between them? Edit: After about an hour of trying to figure it out, the C stands for Canon. That's why there are other versions with other letters such as (N)ikon, (P)anasonic, (O)lympus, and (S)ony. Wow, I feel dumb lol but I hope that this helps anyone who had the same question that I did.

[@CameraToFreedom]

Great that you figured it out! That’s the half of being a good photographer is being obsessed in figuring out everything about photography!

[@ultimatetruthteller4169]

Wow!!!! What a description of lighting 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤛🏽

[@CameraToFreedom]

Thank you for speaking the truth! Appreciate your nice comment! :)

[@JulianaSwenson]
