Nice. I’ve been shooting film for over 50 years, but never bought a dedicated flash meter. I had always just guessed and closed down my aperture in anticipation of the flash. My composition and subject distance always took precedence over the exact proper exposure settings for using a flash. I’ve had great luck, but also a few really blown out shots over the years. This is a good video regarding using flash. I suppose I should just bite the bullet and buy a flash meter. Thanks!

Would you set the shutter speed on the camera at the cameras max sync, like on my EOS 3 max sync speed is 1/200th should I keep it fixed at that or adjust the SS and keep it under 1/200th?

@TIPSinc01 2 месяца назад

Depends on how much ambient light you want in the photo. If you choose a lower shutter speed, more light from the surroundings will be visible.

There is nothing wrong with TTL flash and I highly advocate using it. In certain situations where you simply don't have the time to setup an external flash, and need to shoot quickly, TTL is the way to go. In addition your results with TTL will vary depending on the available metering modes in your camera. My film camera has 1/1000th flash sync speed and was pretty good value compared to the other options on the market. I don't know how anyone could shoot on a camera that has a super low sync speed... you would have to shoot on a tripod with a totally still model, which is just a bit too limiting tbh.

@TIPSinc01 5 месяцев назад

There’s definitely nothing wrong with shooting TTL. In my experience it’s just not always a 100% hit. Definitely if something reflects the light a lot. So therefore I like to do things manual, I almost don’t have to think about it so I can be quick. A lot of older film cameras don’t have that fast sync speed, maybe some leave shutter lenses. So it’s nice that you have one! But honestly I think flashing will eliminate a lot of movement and even if there’s some movement it creates some “energy” in the frame. Never really had problems with the slow sync speed of my M6. To each their own of course, everyone has their own way of doing things! 😁

@Superbustr 5 месяцев назад

@@TIPSinc01 I think it depends on the camera. I have one of the most advanced mf film cameras with 5 point spot metering and have had no issues yet with ttl flash. I would recommend that you get at the very least a camera with exposure lock. That way you can use your spot meter to select (exposure-lock) a specific part of the image for TTL mode.

@whothennow24 27 дней назад

This was suuuuper helpful, but I do have a question about shutter speed. What if you want to include more ambient light? How do you know which shutter speed to use to include ambient light? Or say you want to isolate the subject and have the background be very dark; how do you know which shutter speed to use for this effect?

@TIPSinc01 26 дней назад

Good questions! If you want to know the shutter speed for the ambient light, you first set up your flash power and aperture. After that you’ll use a light meter, or the internal one, and set the shutter speed when it reads a good reading. If you want to do it with a dark background, you’ll have to do it the other way around, but make sure you don’t go higher than the max sync speed. To make it darker you can also close the aperture down more and use more power on the flash. Was that understandable? 😅

Thanks for the video! It’s very helpful. I have a question re using this on a film camera - my MP. If I set the aperture at say f8 with 400 ISO film, and then the shutter speed at 1/50th. Then I set the flash to A and dial in the f8 and 400 iso. Let’s say it shows me a distance of 4 meters. Does the shutter speed not matter any more? If I change the shutter speed to 1/15 (with tripod), wouldn’t it expose the photo for longer? So how do I compensate for slower shutter speeds? Is the data on the flash LCD screen relevant only for 1/50 after which I have to start compensating via flash power? Thank you! And sorry if it’s a silly question. I tried reading the manual but it didn’t help.

@TIPSinc01 3 месяца назад

Not silly at all! The shutterspeeds only account for the ambient light. It does not affect the flash, but make sure you’re on or below the sync speed. If you go faster you’ll see a part of your shutter in the final image.

@lucafilms 5 месяцев назад

Hello my friend and thank you so much for this very informative video! I have one question: You were saying that after you indicate the camera aperture and film speed, the camera shows the distance, in which the subject would be properly exposed. BUT under what circumstances? Is this true in sunlight but also in complete darkness? Does this not depend on the ambient light available? Thanks so much, i'm a newbie!

@TIPSinc01 5 месяцев назад

I think you mean that the flash will show the distance. That’s true, so you set the aperture and film speed accordingly on your flash. Then you can adjust the power of the flash until you have the right distance to your subject. The output will be the same on sunlight or darkness, but it depends on your settings if ambient light will be present too. If you would shoot at F16, there will be less ambient light then let’s say F2. Because most have a low flash sync speed you’ll probably will have to compensate with the aperture for that if you don’t want to include any ambient light.

@lucafilms 5 месяцев назад

@@TIPSinc01 Thank you so much for the quick answer!! So let's say you have the exact same settings (ISO 400, f8.0, distance according to flash is 4m) in a after-sunset-portrait, 4m distance vs. mid-day portrait at 4m distance. Will the image not be completely blown-out in the daylight?

@@lucafilms depends on the reading of ambient light. But the output of the flash will be the same in all situations.

Hi! thank you very much for the tutorial. But what about multiple flashes? I've got 3 flashes that I would like to use alltogether for skate photography from different angles. Is the procedure the same? Setting the camera on manual mode and each single flash on manual mode? I'm afraid that all of the light ocming from each flash will overexpose the image thus ruining it because the flashes won't be able to communicate between themselves and auto adjust for power. Is this a right concern or am I totally wrong? hahah thank you I hope I was clear in explaining my problem.

@TIPSinc01 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! If the flashes are all on the same power and have the same distance, they'll be properly exposed. To be sure you could measure the light with a light meter if you have one, like the seconic flash mate.

Awsome video, so well explained!! I'm really curious! if you could only take on of the which would you take? the LUX junior or the SF20 (also im pretty sure the leica takes 1/50th of flash sync meaning you could technically get away with metering 1/60 on ur Sekonic if you decrease the ISO with a 1/3 stop

@TIPSinc01 Год назад

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And that might be true about the 1/50th, have to look it up. But the shutter-speed doesn’t really affect the metering from the flash anyways 😭.

A few things. It's 1/50th on your sync. Secondly, you can ditch the cord and use even cheaper triggers. Finally, you can always put a diffuser on your flash to lower output. But the best thing is to use a flash meter.

@TIPSinc01 Год назад

I guess it is 1/50th, but the idea is that you set it on any camera to where the sync speed goes. Most cameras will have an indicator. I’ve had an cheaper one, broke in a couple of days of use. So that’s why I decided to go with this one and it holds up some beating for sure. I don’t want any wireless triggers that are powered by batteries or could fail because of that. And yes you can put on a diffuser, good idea! That only works though when you have the time to use an external meter.

@MakersTeleMark Год назад

@@TIPSinc01 A diffuser is a t-shirt. You don't need a light meter either in a pinch. Just meter 2 stops from shadow to highlights retained with your eye. 50th/ 5.6 then add or sub depending on clouds and complexion. You will get better at it.
