Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Amazing what some simply household items can do to better the overall flash experience, right?!:) The end result is a completely different/professional lighting look and feel in my opinion ... get some tin foil or a small mirror and have some fun!:)

Wow. I mainly do nature/nightsky photography but today I have been given the task of shooting my sons Primary school prom party, lots of kids and indoor disco. I only have the built in flash for my D5300 and I am sure there be all sorts of reflective items from the buffet table. Really learned so much from your video, especially TTL and Reflective items. Thank you so much 🤝

i am just coming out of GAS(gear acquisition syndrome) because of your videos, you are very creative with what you have instead of just upgrading to a new gear, thanks a lot for those trick's, i expect some more videos where we can use our gear to its fullest, i am actually surprised that we can do a low light photography with kit lens if i am not wrong, and i was very much afraid of using iso more than 3200 because of that noise fact but after your videos i came through it, i am really thankful that i am coming out of my comfort zone because of ur wonderful videos😄👍

I am a huge photography hobbyist and enthusiast. I used to bounce the pop-up flash from the ceiling with the lens cap...until I bought my 1st on camera flash and now I use the pop-up flash to trigger the other two flashes and I love to reflect them from the walls and the ceiling. I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. I had no idea that a mirror and a tin foil could give such a result. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Gratefully subscribed.

Great video! I used to dislike those photos with built-in flash on, that take by casual users( assumed non-photographer take a shot) because those photos looked so bland and I have no clue about built-in flash at all due to the previous reason so I'd never care to look into it. Now this video point me out, there are more than one way to use built-in flash, just have to use it creatively. This is open my eyes for me. Thank you RealWorld. 👍

Excellent video great information. Nice to see how creative one can be. In the past, I used just a simple white paper in a 45 degree angle as well. Also, another good diffuser technic is to get an old film plastic small box, and cut it out the way it fits and sits perfectly on the pop of flash. It does magic too, no harsh straight light. God bless.

When I upgraded from my old D200 to a newer camera, I wanted to go with the D500, since it was the same lineage as the D200, but the D500 no longer has a built in flash, so I went with the D7200. I find the built in flash to be very handy for those times you need some fill flash, or indoors for a quickie. I dont always want to carry around a off camera flash, when you just need one on occasion.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post Ron and agreed!:) As mentioned in the vid, I would rather have something than nothing:). I like the external flash but do not always have one with me. Using the built-in flash with a few common props can make a huge difference in the resulting images:).

[@rklmbd2934]

In the situation where something is better than nothing, of course I agree. But I find the built-in is most useful as it was intended - as a fill flash in daylight. The TTL works very well in those cases and the result is quite natural and unobtrusive.

[@ronshaw80]

I agree. I use it mostly for fill flash, but it does come in handy for other uses as well. I use an off camera flash with a strobo frame when I know I will be indoors using a lot of flash, but for general walking around photos, which I do most of the time, I dont want to carry the extra bulk of an off camera flash.

[@RealWorld]

Ahhhhhh yes, the built in flash without any mod (perhaps a no-fold tissue) is nice for fill when shooting outdoors as well:)

[@davidmill7289]

Great video as usual. I find taking family event photos with low lamp light and built in flash or speedlight difficult. Skin tones are always off. I shoot manual and ttl but always too dark and inconsistent. Could be that I need to experiment with higher ISO and manual flash. It's often difficult to make changes to settings with inpatient family - lol. Maybe you could do a video with a live model at some point. Thanks again - keep them coming.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback Luca!:) Ahhhhh yes, the white balance will be thrown off to some extent since lamp lights and flashes will produce difference colors ... always a bit challenging and needs to balanced in post process.

Great video like always! I have another lighting question about soft box and umbrella light. I am trying to use my Nikon D3400 to set up a photobooth for an event. However, I am not too familiar with softbox and umbrella light so I am not sure which one to buy for my set up. Can you share your advice? I heard softbox is more focus light so I was wondering if it’s enough to light up a group consist of 7 to 8 people using the photo booth. Please pardon my English as it is my second language.

Another great video. Thanks a lot. Now, I got a question if you don't mind answering. What about using the rear flash mode to enhance the BG more in the shot? I remember you had a video and talked about this before. and, do we need to use the tripod always as I am sure you know in this sort of the events setting up a camera and getting a quick shot is not easy with so many people? :) Many thanks

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the feedback/question!:) Correct, I did not touch on rear curtain sync in this vid but did so in another one. The rear curtain sync can be helpful if taking a portrait using a relatively slow shutter (this will help to freeze the subject). Unfortunately, the rear curtain sync will not help with the background:). Nonetheless, nice to see you thinking outside the box:). All demos in this video can be used without a tripod since the shutter is greater than 1/60. I only used the tripod for demos to keep the composition and focus the same for each shot:).

I've been looking at some small photo tents with lights for product photos, simply to get started, but haven't pulled the trigger yet; I'm sure this video will help out a lot until I further improve my lighting situation and get a better setup ^.^ Lighting will have to wait.. For this month I have my heart set on reverse mounting lenses and maybe a ring flash ^.^ I'm sure it's an awesome video as always *Mark* (Nailed it!!.. But I cheated 🙈😂)

​@@RealWorld I still have a lid from a butane can, which I cut a hole into + taped paper onto; it sits somewhat okay on the camera flash 👌😁 I forgot to ask: Have you tried reverse photography yourself yet? A few searches revealed nothing :) I'm currently thinking of buying a big set of step up/down rings to accommodate a single reverse ring - 3 lenses, 3 different sizes 😐 On top of that I'd hate anything to happen to the rear of even my cheapo Chinese lens so I'll also be buying a Bayonet to Filter adapter.. When I finally find a cheap nikon equivalent of the BR-3 ring (I found a set from Fotodiox that seems great). While I think it's fun tinkering around with this setup I can't wait until I can afford a proper macro lens! >.< However the Nikon 40mm Micro is ~305$ over here 😁

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

@@RealWorld Hmm, thanks a lot for the input.. it's funny how so few words can alter the entire view on a subject. I wanted the bayonet->Filter adapter mostly to preserve the lens, but also so I could 'select' aperture - Come to think of it, I'd probably be _less_ interested in reversing a lens, and fiddling with the setup/lights vs. how it works with tubes. I already feel tubes 'are a lot of work', so I'll silently shift my focus elsewhere for now ^.^ Again thanks a lot Mark, it's really super appreciated!

Hi sir, for the last one year I'm using nikon d5300 and 18-55mm kit lens. I'm interested on street, landscape and night photography. Now I'm planning to upgrade my lens. But I'm in a doubt. There are 2 choices one is nikon 18-300 mm and the other tamron 70-300 mm full frame. I don't like to change the lens every time and i dont want to compromise with the quality of the image also. So which one should i prefer? Or is there any other lenses out there which is suitable for my interest?

[@RealWorld]

Ahhhhh yes, I can relate to your situation:). For many years I shot with the Nikon 18-200 simply because I wanted to the most versatile lens and it worked great (I still have it today but it is a bit rough:)). I ran with the 18-200 mounted and carried the fixed 50:). Now, I have a handful of lenses and tend to switch as needed. Nonetheless, I think the Nikon 18-300 is a good option ( amzn.to/2HYAN8y ). It is a bit pricey but keep in mind that lenses tend to hold their value very well ... this would allow you to buy now, use for it a year or whatever time, and sell for 80% or more of it's original value:).

LOL - not a problem!:) I do not have any issues with buying used as I have done so many times before. I created a video on buying used cameras that might be of help as well - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXeQppZnj9Gmfas The D5100 at 5k shots along with both lenses not bad (5k is low considering the age of the camera), however I might lean towards the D3300. Nikon removed the AA filter from the D3300 (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images to some extent (not major but worth noting)). In addition, the D3300 has a higher resolution (24mp vs 16mp) and higher max ISO (12800 vs 6400).

Sir, please be kind enough to suggest a suitable upgrade for my current Canon 700d. Got some Canon assorted kit lenses. Shall stick with crop sensor. Thank you.

[@RealWorld]

Hmmmmm ... are you lenses intended for a full sensor or crop? This might help provide the next step. I have used various full sensor cameras including the 5D Mark IV ( amzn.to/2fFw2z5 ) which is great/solid in my opinion, but you may need to upgrade your lenses.

[@cdsreenath]

@@RealWorldlenses I have are for crop sensor except 50mm.stm.

[@RealWorld]

@@cdsreenath Ahhhh the fixed 50 is great:). If you want to step into the world of full frame at a relatively low price point (although still pricey:)), I might suggest the Canon 6D Mark II ( amzn.to/2Ibwvul ).

[@cdsreenath]

@@RealWorld thank you boss. Now there is EOS RP too, latest from Canon. Price is not yet announced in India. Grateful for the guidance.

Hi, I tried to use manual focus in my Nikon D3500 DSLR camera. but failed to get sharp/clear picture & images were blurry and out of focus. Would you please show us how to use manual focus with Nikon entry level DSLR series ?

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/question:). Manual focus is challenging to get tact sharp focus in my opinion. Why? Because technology built into the camera is better than our human eye(s):). Some cameras have focus peaking which allows the camera to highlight areas in focus. This serves as a quick reference for the photography to see what the camera sees. With focus peaking we are left to our own judgement ... if you have 20/20 vision, you have a better chance of nailing the focal point. If not, it will be challenging:). I typically leverage AF.

[@chiragukani765]

@@RealWorld Thanks for the answer. Your videos are amazing and Personally, I learned a lot from and applied in my photography. Keep it up.

Hi, do you recomen the canon t7 or Nikon d3500 there both the same price. I’m not sure what to buy😭😭😭

[@RealWorld]

Both are solid:). I typically lean towards Nikon if you plan to shoot photos and lean towards Canon if you plan to shoot video. Both can shoot video and photos - just my general thoughts:). If you are looking at the D3500, you might consider the D3400 ... Nikon removed the function button and IR sensor from the D3500 ... sensors are the same, etc.

[@alexisrosablanca6107]

RealWorld thank you! 👌😍

[@manoypinoybikeandchill5017]

is this camera good for vlogging in you tube? good for video? thanks

[@RealWorld]

I might suggest the Canon T7i ... Canon does a great job with their STM lenses and AF system:)

[@ThomasECahill]

Love the videos, keep them coming!

[@RealWorld]

Thanks Thomas ... stay tuned as I have more on the way!:)

[@pauldelosh8921]

So how do you get the picture to display the shot in the lower left hand corner? ss, iso, etc..

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/question Paul ... this is done in post processing - a bit of a pain but doable nonetheless:).

Hi, how to use slow sync with canon 700d in outdoor shooting with built-in flash?

[@RealWorld]

Use aperture priority and pop the flash. The 700d uses TTL by default which is nice, however you will most like to want to adjust the flash compensation down by a stop or two. The goal is to a small amount of light to offset the shadows:). I do not have a vid on this subject yet, but may create one:).

[@prasannajaywardana3723]

Thanks a lot for ur kind reply, I need to upload one photo and show you what i want, where I can upload a example photo for you to review ?
