Flash Photography Made Easy 

Thanks mom love you!

That means the world! Thank you so much!!

Tony! Thank you for watching! 💪💪

Thank you !! Can’t wait to see Tyler next!

You know I almost dropped them!

Thank you! That was my intent, it’s really so much simpler than people think 💪

Thanks my brotha!!

Thank you so much for watching! I will be putting more video out just like this one!

I’m trying! Thank you so much! 💪

We gotta do it my G!

Thank you! I’ll adjust that for next time

Man I really appreciate that! I know there’s some stuff I could clean up on these videos, but I’m trying my best to beat the point in on the two steps. I appreciate you man! 💪

Great place indeed for photos

@scottstocktonphotography greensboro also have some hidden gems as well as highpoint

Thanks boo! Love you, see you later at Matt’s game

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

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.

Or you can use ND filters, which I prefer, as I get to keep the full power capabilities of my strobe.

That’s the spot! Say when and let’s create a video together! 💪

Thank you for watching! This is the one I use www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/609051-REG/Manfrotto_1005BAC_1005BAC_Alu_Ranker_Light.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh35tROYZUeI5jhBJO4EJtVLO&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-v_txZCfhgMV9yzUAR1NBQbYEAQYASABEgJ46fD_BwE

Cuh……had my chef hat on. Also you made me hang up on you a bunch today

You can, but it depends on how bright it is. An ad200 would be perfect!

My brotha from LA! I appreciate you! What should I make next

@@scottstocktonphotography Love the channel, for now I don't have a request.

@@user-mf7zs6hp4gappreciate you! 💪💪

Thank you so much! It was shot using hss 💪

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

How long are you here!?

@@scottstocktonphotography I stay here ! I shoot Canon

I just do everything like an old school chef, to taste 😂. I start at low power and crank it up to my liking

I think I’m gonna end up buying their biggest box next

Just like Gordon Ramsey !

Thank you so much! For the majority of the shoot it was an 85

Thank you so much! Manual every time so I can have more control over it

​@@scottstocktonphotographyI'm hooked on flash, love that I can change bad light into good light. I use it both inside and outside frequently. Inside because I'm moving around and bouncing flash I normally shoot in TTL. I've done it for so long that I find easier-to-use then manual. Outside I'm more apt to use manual flash, because the flash is usually off camera. Really enjoyed your shoot with mom as your model. It's nice to see a photographer use a senior citizen, I'm one myself. I loved shooting my mother in law. She was very comfortable in front of the camera and quite photogenic, a natural. She passed at 96 yrs old, even at that age she loved being in front of the camera.

@@Jack-oc5ty I’m sorry to hear about her passing. Sounds like she lived a very full life. That’s amazing you would shoot her. Feel like seniors are a forgotten society. My mom had a lot of fun shooting, made it all worth it

So confused

What’s your insta. Maybe we can do a live and figure it out together

No TTL, always manual so I can have full control of the light. I was using the Godox ad200 and the Magmod 24 inch pro octa box

@@scottstocktonphotography Thanks for the response

Same concept would apply no matter the scenario. I’d expose for the scene and turn the flash on no matter what scenario I was in

Her insta is Jessica_young09

It should still focus. Dm me on Instagram and maybe we could jump on a call

Thank you so much I will try to DM you tomorrow Thanks

Settings aren’t correct for flash most likely

Godox ad200’s

Manual every time. Give me more creative control. I always start at the weakest power, then ratchet it up to get it to where I want it

I’m always trying to go for softer light, and I find the softbox gives me much softer light than any other modifiers, or bare bulb. I also try to put the flash as close to my subject as possible, to make it even softer.

@@scottstocktonphotography OK I'm new to it.. And have done a few indoor events which went OK.. Didn't know they would have gold drapes caused the host to have a yellow tinge to her skin in some images .. As she's got fair skin.. I was using a rogue defuser but apparently a omni bounce in better

@@samuelwebster2769ooof I don’t envy you in that situation. With that gold everywhere , that color cast was gonna be a pain

@@scottstocktonphotography definitely wasn't easy.. I need to learn to give flash time to recharge.. And apparently one gets a colour gel to put over the speed light.. One to match decor

Got an idea for the next food vlog

I appreciate your opinion and agree. I need to get the bigger box from Magmod

I think it looks great! Love the look. Shut up hater!

⁠spit my redbull out! Thank you brotha! Gang gang! 💪

@@superemesean5907​​⁠spit my redbull out! Thank you brotha! Gang gang! 💪

@@superemesean5907 he is a big boy and understood what I was saying. There wasn't a single ounce of hate in my comment. It's great that u feel so defensive of him, but apparently your reading comprehension might need some help patnah!

lol she really did look like captain marvel on that first shot 😂

Thank you so much!! Any kind of content you’d like to see more of ?

@@scottstocktonphotography I like the content of the creative use of flashes, especially in combination with natural/ambient light. I go look through the videos you made
