    Thank you for watching! Yes I was shooting in hss. But you don’t have to. You can put your shutter speed at 1/250, and just increase your f stop to set your exposure in camera, and then turn your flash on

    @michaellekas2712 күн бұрын

    excellent video Scott...my question is what aperture are you using? Are you using a low f value ( eg 2.8, 4) with high sync or neutral density filter OR just using the camera"s natural sync speed and taking the ambient reading and adding flash ( f8)

    Thank you for watching! I should’ve disclosed that in the video, my bad. I was using hss. I shot wide open at 1.4 for the whole shoot when I was using the 85mm and when I used the wide angle lens I was at 2.8. I’m always using hss and shooting wide open unless I’m shooting wedding receptions then I turn hss off so the flashes can recycle fast

    Admire your goal in encouraging neophytes to dive into Flash, but, as one of our critics rather untactfully noted, there are obviously a lot more subtleties, like camera settings, HSS, light distance to subject, time of day, etc. (that I'm still struggling with). Maybe you're saving them for your next video(s)?

  • @scottstocktonphotography

    @scottstocktonphotography

    I agree that there are a lot of other factors going into it like, iso, aperture, shutter speed etc. I thought by saying, expose for how you would like the scene to look, was giving folks the freedom to choose their settings to their liking, because not everyone likes hss like me, sufficed. I felt that if I went over all the camera setting and things like that, that maybe it would’ve been too many things to have to keep track of, and might have overwhelmed the viewer. Next time I’ll add my settings to the video. Thanks for the fair criticism I will take it in. Is there any specific questions you have with any of setting on your camera ?

    @@scottstocktonphotography Thanks. Since you mention HSS, I think I can answer most of my own questions now. Main question: When shooting on sunny or mostly sunny days, as in the video, do you prefer open shade areas or sunny ones? Been afraid of shooting in sunny areas because that probably means "overpowering the sun," i.e., 600W strobe on full power, 1/8000 shuter speed. And, if doing a lot of shots, running the battery down or overheating the strobe.
