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.

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
I’ve been shooting for years, and have also been a little confused about my flash. You explained exactly what I wanted to know. Such a simple but concise explanation. Thank you!
Love love love how simple this video is! I’ve watched a lot of KZread videos where I end up confused but man this is hands down the best video to refer to for anyone wanting to learn speedlight!
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!
This is a guy who is the type who is not afraid to pick something up and teach himself. Much respect to guys like him. I agree with just about everything he says. Great stuff bro. Keep it coming. Guys like you are how I learn. Thanks for your time and knowledge
Thank you so much. At long last someone who understands the needs of his viewers. Great help.
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.
THANKYOU! I needed the basics to get started and you provided just that. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials
Wow, three days later I stumble across this video. You answered every question I had on my Godox TT685N settings. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video. Very helpful for someone like me, who is just getting into Speedlite photography. Thank you!
This was absolutely perfect. I'm a cinematographer and I am wanting to teach my kids portrait photography. So while this is easy for me to understand, you've given me the perfect tool to teach them. Thank you!!!!

Short and to the point, love it.
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

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.
Thank you so much! I was having trouble finding a video that explained it in simple terms, but then I found your video and it’s super helpful.

thanks this is a fantastic tutorial I am just learning and this is super helpful

Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you!!!!! I've done a couple low key events and could never understand why my flash wasn't firing for every shot. Now I know that I had the power set way too high :p
Man Great content, I am also a pro wedding photographer, last 15 years, I was the same way, practice practice , I only shoot manual, all the time also use multi settings, Love other photographers and frequently encourage new photographers, everyone thinks the cell phone will replace, noway! for me it mostly a hobby. I am a radiologist by profession. Photography is my thing, and I use all Sony Gear. Thank You for educating new photographers
Great breakdown I appreciate it
Thank you for this Video make ,it a little easier to understand the flash,

Well done! I use both ttl and manual. For speed I use ttl, when I have time, i use manual. The nice thing with ttl is flash compensation. When the light changes frequently, flash compensation is a must for me. I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Thanks for sharing.
