[@BandH]

Most welcome. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching.

[@FrankNazario]

Thank you B&H This has to be one of the most informative, concise and clear seminars I've seen coming out of the B&H Video Library ... I learned in 1 hour weeks worth of practice tips and tricks!!!! As always you rock. Robert, dude I've become a fan ... You have a new follower. Amazing. Thanks!

[@BandH]

Glad you like them and thank you for watching.

[@BandH]

Glad you enjoy our presentations. Thank you for watching.

[@MakersTeleMark]

He's legit. Down to earth, creative, and sharing. Thank you.

[@BandH]

Please contact Robert Harrington directly at bob[@]robertharringtonstudios[.]com Thanks for watching.

[@cloudstepper11]

This is hands-down one the best photography tutorials, much less speedlight tutorials, that is offered by B&H and that I've ever watched. I am currently looking up your website and information to send you an email to say "thanks." :)

The best speedlite photography Video on KZbin

[@marypar4]

I think this information was invaluable ··· bravo to Mr Harrington for an excellent presentation

This is one of the best flash use videos i've ever seen. Gracias B&H! Cuz you made my day. Greetings from beatiful Costa Rica.

[@davidthrower6760]

Great video, very inspiring. :) Love the crunched umbrella technique!

[@Mickey58D]

Cheers, Robert. I made a V-flat, using two 5' x 2' pieces of polystyrene, taped together with duct tape. It is awesome! I can alter its angle to introduce more (or less) shadows. Moving the flash further way from the v-flat, increases the size of the light-source, and so produces a softer light! Cost? £ 0.00. Incredible!

[@mkhaliphilanga6784]

Clear and easy to understand. thanks B&H.

I'm currently in transit from subject/macro to portrait photography. Very useful tutorial for everyone turning to portrait having minimal amount of equipment, which the lecturer points out often. Thanks from Russia!

[@brianminkc]

I watch a lot of videos and sometimes famous photographers... I find myself critical of some of it. Bad advice or lots of talk but little information that I can use. I must say your direct style of teaching and giving all the shot info every time. Well I really enjoyed this... I wish I could attend one of your workshops but probably will not get the chance. Very good info... no nonsense... thanks.

[@donavin51]

Very informative and some lovely images; especially the clam lighting shot!

[@prkane1]

Thank you.Very informative ,with loads of great ideas.

[@HerrNoetzli]

Really nice video. It's great what you can achieve with not that much of equipment.

[@bubba195776]

Dean Collins would be very proud of your techniques.

[@FStopArmy]

had to do a double take on the intro. Your Event Space videos are awesome :)

[@100bodhi]

Fantastic video, lots to try now :-)

[@PasqualeBianculli]

Fantastic Video...I learned so much from Bob. I bought his e book as well.

[@heipuntnl]

Thanks all....... it was very usefull ! Grtzzz from the Netherlands.

[@MartinV.]

great presentation

[@veepeesingh]

Sorry Roberts asking you about the zoom setting. I just watched the presentation once again and got my answer. Thanks

[@jerry-mind-sky]

very informative and easy explained

[@sameerargade]

I loved the new intro a lot bravo :)

[@leoviper]

I love this guy!

[@LopsidedAdventures]

The first photo doesn't look like the flash was bounced on the left wall. Look at the shadow under her chin, it's a well defined shadow. Doesn't look like that if your light comes from a pretty big light source, which is effectively the wall to the right of the model where he was supposed to have bounced the flash.

[@aulestiastudio]

Fantastic!

[@pickles179]

Great video. Thank you!

[@veepeesingh]

Thanks Robert for this most educative and informative presentation. I learned a lot from this presentation. It saved me from buying expensive studio strobes. Now I can take better photographs with just my single speedlight. Thanks once again. Just one question - do you use omni bounce on the flash and also whether you always set your flash on wide zoom.

[@Sudhakartravelbytes]

what grip head is used for Sunbounce Micro mini reflector? please provide the grip head description.

[@BandH]

For his set up with the Sounbounce Micro Mini Reflector, it looks like Bob Harrington is using the Sunbounce Enterprise Grip Head. *Christina* [e-mail] bhpho.to/2ghEYdh

[@chentiangemalc]

iso+shutter speed+aperture affects ambient light, ISO+aperture affects flash

[@drumman132]

Wonderful presentation Robert. What type of grip are you using to attach the California Sunbounce to the lightstand? Is it the enterprise model from B&H? You are always an inspiration~

[@BandH]

M Battista The grip being used on the stand is an older version of the Enterprise grip. Unfortunately this version is no longer in production nor do we have any in our inventory. We do carry the current Enterprise grip. See the link below for details. - Yossi bhpho.to/1N1nix9

That lad is a great instructor. Ed in Belfast

[@kartikjasti7898]

You said you keep your flash output set to 1/2 power and keep changing the exposure value using Shutter Speed and ISO... or Aperture at times! As per my knowledge though, Shutter Speed and ISO in Flash photography, come in handy only for controlling the ambient light and not the exposure on one's subject... Aperture is what controls the exposure on your subject! Ain't that true?

[@jamesadams8572]

Awesome is right thanks so much..

[@NYCastle]

Awesome!

[@46ace]

Iso is"global"; affects both ambient and flash. Shutter speed (within sync speed) doesn't affect flash because the flash pulse is so fast, it happens while the shutter is open and is completed before it closes . Therefore aperture becomes your key flash exposure adjustment.

[@Sssmoothy]

Aw, i was so used to the old intro..

[@Tzadeck]

He shouts out Joe Edelman--guy's got a great KZbin channel.

Pocket Wizzards do not work with Canon flashes.

[@photohiker81]

Cool Looks but the post processing of the eyes is to mutch, pleas never touche the eye white.

[@iRawrh]

I liked the old intro :(

[@topgunm]

Most of his looks/setups produce HARD and horrible light. Also when he is diffusing the light with big diffusers (like the v-box) he is only using 1/10th (if that) of the panel because he is placing the flash too close. The diffuser can be as tall as the empire state building, but if a small flash head is placed right up to the wall, it's only going to use a tiny spec for diffusion. If he was using the v-box as intended, he would need full power and/or a stronger flash/strobe. The same can be said about the translucent diffusion panel. He is placing the flash at the top, and only 1/6th of the diffusion panel is being utilized. Also bare flash at a distance (bare flash on a stand at 10 yards) is going to produce the hardest, most unflattering light you can possible get. Most of these setups should be titled "How NOT to use a flash" IMHO.

[@ScrewMaga]

Then produce a correct video. Otherwise, whatever... dude.

[@josephv7899]

[@JoEtsu1989]

His forced familiarity with the audience is a real turn-off to what otherwise would be a good presentation.
