We love hearing that. We have enjoyed working with Pye over the last year to create educational videos for photographers that are using flash and it makes us happy to know that people have been enjoying and learning from them.

Much thanks Martin!

Another great vid from a guy who knows his business! I've always been a natural light photographer when shooting outdoors, reserving the strobes for the studio. Most of my client work outdoors has been in the style of "let's go for a walk, and we'll get shots as we go". Using flash is so much more intentional, but so powerful that I have been needing to use it more recently, so I appreciate these tutorials as they help keep my thinking pointed in the right direction once I pull that flash and modifier out of the bag.

Acronyms are such great ways of learning. Easy to remember.

Awesome

Thanks so much for this very helpful and simple to follow video. It be great to see more, maybe some set ups with common flash groups most photographers use at weddings ie: godox ad200 pro etc. Some BTS on different types of shoots, lighting tips and choice of modifiers along with the why. Thanks in advance for all you do!

Thank you

Pye as always the best teacher. It's not rocket science using flash, but he is breaking up the process in small and logical steps showing the the results in comparison how not to do it. 6 of 5 stars!

Hi there. Great video. I just bought the NEEWER Q4 400Ws 2.4G TTL Outdoor Studio Flash Strobe. I am new to off camera flash and wanted to get your opinion on if this flash was a good purchase and also I’d like to know what else I need to buy to be ready. Thank you!

Another awesome video. You mentioned to set the ambient with aperture and I'd like to know if we can set it with shutter speed? Why would we want to set the ambient with aperture vs shutter speed and vs versa.

Fantastic work 👌 do you use protective lens filters on your expensive canon lenses?

Pye's a cool guy, and his teaching style is very effective. I'm very proud of him even though I've never met him. For me, he's like an older brother. 🙂

Thanks my guy!

Great explaining, thank you 👌 If I may ask, what kind of tripod are you using for your video?

Great video! I have a question. How do you clean the defusion material on the softbox? Can I just wash it with normal detergents?

Pye's videos are SO good... step by step and easy to understand. Any chance you're going to make instructional math videos for 10th graders? I can't help my kid!😂

First image, shutter speed 400, in this case it is over high sync limit for canon when using a flash. So in this case was it high speed sync as some cameras high speed sync automatically kick in when it is over high speed limit. Please clarify thanks PYE!!

Ok. But how did you find a bridge without "residents" below? 😬

Thanks for the video! Seems like you were adjusting aperture to control ambient when I was taught to use shutter speed for ambient. Am I missing something? :) Thanks.

@MagnetMod

Ай бұрын

When using flash you can usually only adjust shutter for ambient up to 1/200th or 1/250th of a second. After that you have to use high speed sync (if you flash has it) in order to get higher shutter speeds, but that also kills your flashes efficiency as it has to fire multiple times. So adjusting aperture instead allows you to keep your shutter at say 1/200th and still be able to darken down the scene if desired. Of course, the other thing to consider is ISO. If you want to darken the ambient you will want to keep that low at say ISO 100 for example.

Pye, what light stands are you using outside the studio, for strobes

Great video! I find that the main issue I have with the small diffuser is a hard shadow on the nose. Any tips for that? I don’t always have the space for an octa

@payamjirsa

Lighting angle becomes that much more important when you're using hard light.

nice tuto. I was wondering why you use F9... showing the house behind,... but I suppose you tried not to exceed 1/200s to avoid HSS and flash power too low. Correct ?

@MagnetMod

11 күн бұрын

Yes, exactly. It was to darken the sky down a bit.

This method vs HSS? This provides another option dealing with ambient light and saves flash battery, would you say this is dependent on background?

Any videos on photo editing in photoshop

One more thing, when shoot outdoors. The position of flash according to the sun. Sometimes when people use sun as a rim light and highlight the shadow area of model with the flash. final picture look like cartoon and not natural. Like bad collage in photoshop. But sometimes it looks ok. Still can not figure out why. And when place flash at the same side as the sun it looks way better. If you can do some example vids about this it would be be great. Thank you.

My guy Pye, just more outside flash tutorials, but with men and or couples. My my biggest struggle right now is walking into an area and figuring out how to use it. I understand light direction but would still love to just see the area as a whole and figure out how this is an area can be use.

PYE Why do you take off the trigger instead of turning it off?? Thank you!!

@payamjirsa

Haha, this is an old school thing. Cameras can tend to act wonky (more so in the past) with the remote on. I.E. the exposure preview changes, and what not even when the remote is off. So to not deal with that, I always got int the habit of just taking the remote off. For the purpose of education, it's also a very clear indicator/proof that I'm not using flash.

Could you share the way you modify the background on Photoshop. I'm curious what method you use. Screen on blending mode plus opacity?

It's more simple, just using the AI generative fill with basic clone/healing.

You do not HAVE to keep taking your trigger off the camera to get your ambient. Put a piece of tape over the four small hotshoe terminals and leave the large firing terminal exposed. Now you can see/change your ambient and STILL be able to adjust/fire your flash.

On canon and using Godox triggers at least, you can just turn off the trigger to see ambient.

@@pixelscaper2625 I get it now. I think there's a related setting I'll have to check on. Much of the time I'm using flash is at wedding receptions where ambient at 1/160 f2.8 iso 1600 is pretty dark. With normal operation where you don't see ambient it helps for composition in a fast moving environment. But for times when ti's bright enough your trick would certainly be helpful. I've actually seen the normal operation make the viewfinder too bright when you're working in a lot of light in the background and the subject is in the dark waiting for the flash. I'll give your tip a try!

I think "mistake" is not the correct word for the first 3 showcase shots.
