Great tip. It’s good to hear practical advice. Too often other self proclaimed experts want to go into too much detail. This is good solid advice, and gives the newer photogs a starting point. 👍🏼

@jbivphotography Год назад

Exactly. I want to make it accessible for the masses. It's actually much easier than it seems.

No need for the magsphere. The flash bounced of that white ceiling. Tip to even better lighting, take the magsphere off and direct your flash 45 degrees to a wall, and get nice side softbox lighting going on.

@jasonbodden8816 5 месяцев назад

Yeah. In this particular, really ideal scenario that most of us don't get often at all, a modifier will probably be unnecessary.

I am learning photography. I bought used Sony a7s2. New 28-75 f2.8 lens I need to get my first flash. I want it to be portable and lightweight so I can take it with me while travelling. I will be doing street photography and portraits/people. Please suggest if I should go for on camera speed light or off camera strobe. And what flash model do you suggest?

@tykeboy16 2 месяца назад

You don't need flash when travelling. Especially for street photography. It doesn't really sound like you need any flash tbh, learn to work with natural light and how to use your camera. Once you do that, you can learn how to incorporate flash.

@Keji839 Год назад

except of course if u shoot with variable aperture zoom kit lens on a APSC sensor. Thank heavens im no longer a beginner

@jbivphotography Год назад

That's half the reason I don't use zoom lenses. To much to deal with, with the variable aperture. Also, this is a short obviously you may have to change your settings or flash power based on your distance to subject and also where your aperture is set on your lens.

@jennwilson871 Год назад

Why dial in flash power vs just syncing?

@jasonbodden8816 Год назад

If you mean versus TTL, a lot of people actually find it easier to get better exposures manually dialing in flash settings. I guess just do whatever works for you.

@RGV250FORSALE Год назад

Would this work better than just using TTL ?

@jbivphotography Год назад

Yes. It’s much faster than TTL. Also if you shoot in manual you know exactly what your photos are going to look like. Rather than the flash being different everytime. Also in my opinion if you put too much flash power it kills the natural light of the room which removes the feel of a reception.

@TheFilmCouple_ Год назад

@@jbivphotography agreed. Manual is much more predictable and controllable

@melodyphillips2388 8 месяцев назад

@johnboy3523 Год назад

I am so grateful that my friend that asked me to shoot her wedding, my first ever, was super understanding, because I could not for the life of me figure out why my Godox only worked half the time. It was pretty dark, so maybe that was the reason, or maybe I shouldn’t have had my flash pointed up toward the ceiling the whole time; but the ceilings were relatively low. Do you have a crash course on how this thing works?? 😅 Because I bought your exact setup; and the photos I got where it was working were awesome, but the ones where it wasn’t were super dark 😬

@Gunners1886_CH Год назад

Did you check if your flash recycled on time for the next shot? Godox flashes usually indicate their readiness through a beeping sound.

@johnboy3523 Год назад

@@Gunners1886_CH I didn’t 😬 Maybe that was the issue. I thought it might have been the lens I was using, because it worked much better with my 50mm than my 24mm, but that could have just been a coincidence.

JB what do ya do when the lights in reception have a refresh rate causing banding

I actually haven't really had that issue. There's a setting in camera usually to help with flicker. Also your shutter speed can make a difference as well.

@JosephValenti Год назад

@jbivphotography Год назад

@@chioa6991 there is. You can use high speed sync to go faster than 200. However during a reception you shouldn’t need high speed sync. The flash itself stops motion so you don’t have to worry about your shutter speed being low.

I'd rather use a Rogue Flash Bender. It's lighter, and more creative options if you know how to also bounce flash. the magsphere just sends light all over which isn't a good thing in my humble opinion.

@melodyphillips2388 8 месяцев назад

I have a Fonger, and if I take the dome off the top, I will get the bounce from the ceiling, but there will still be nice light from "spill." I have also used the black foamy thing when I had particularly low ceilings, and it worked great.

Iso 800 vs 100?

@jbivphotography 11 месяцев назад

Yep. It helps pick up the ambiance of the room. Also, your flash doesn't have to be at max power which makes your flash fire quicker.

@AlfaMedtech 11 месяцев назад

@@jbivphotography thank you! What’s the highest iso you can pick without introducing noise and the picture to stay sharp?

@themoody1337 Год назад

May I ask why you're aiming for ISO 800 when you would probably make 100 work? :)

@themoody1337 Год назад

Oh, I just saw someone else asked the same question. I would still be interessted in the technical aspect of it though :)

@jbivphotography Год назад

There's kind of 2 reasons. The first is that higher ISO will pick up more of the ambiance of the room. I've NEVER been do a reception in a pitch black room so there will be some light there. Also, because from what I've seen with newer photographers the whole mentality of "always shoot ISO 100 because it's the best quality" usually hurts newer photographers. Your camera has tools that can be used, and sometimes the best option isn't always "the best quality". Also, now a days cameras do REALLY well with ISO so something like 800-1000 isn't really going to hurt your image quality if you have a decent camera.

@artsmodelstation9396 Год назад

Question: at a flash power of 1/32. are u staying a specific distance from subjects. if ur moving in and out and changing ur distance, ur flash power can’t be a constant 1/32, correct ? You have to continuously change it ? Would TTL be better ?

@themoody1337 Год назад

@@jbivphotography thank you so much for taking your time explaining this. I was in the same "trap" and will reconsider my approach with ISO :)

@jbivphotography Год назад

@@artsmodelstation9396 that’s correct. If I’m really far from my subject I’ll have to turn up my flash power. However since I shoot primes and generally at a reception my focal lengths are usually between 24-50 I’m usually fairly close to my subjects. 1/32 is generally where I have my flash power all night.
