great stuff enjoyed the tips and approaches always good to hear thoughs and techniques - And I love the look of the rapidbox line up but here in the UK even the smallest 26 inch with reflector dish, speedlite insert and grid is over $500 which I suspect only pros will pay

@goldenfrog6EsCoSes 3 года назад

Thanks for the video; it was really informative. I really liked the shot of your friend in New York (the one they wanted to charge you for), not only the lighting, but the composition blew me away.

I shot a Group of 35 people with 3 speedlites 2 bouinced off the ceiling and one as fill light through an umbrella . It turned out very good. Good video. fav is Westcott rapid box

I’m new to flash and found this to be very helpful! I was wondering though when you were talking about increasing or decreasing power after your test shot in TTL mode. How do you achieve this? Where or which buttons do you press to increase or decrease while in TTL mode on the FJ80 and FJ200?

@jerryrichards8172 3 года назад

I still shoot my old 35mm minolta gear and it a fantastic flash set up. On camera flash is my triger and i can use as many speed lights i want right of my camera. No extra gear.

@kellymasic8880 4 года назад

Great video. I just purchased my first Westcott item - Rapidbox and it will be in tomorrow. I'm stoked about using it as I do a lot of Senior sessions as well as family/children portraits. Is there a video that you do that solely focuses on using the rapid box?

@WestcottLighting 4 года назад

Excited for you to get your hands on it! We have a lot of videos on our channel featuring Rapid Box. We did a recent video on family/children portraits using the Rapid Box: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5bgrdG4mzSs.html

Hi, I’m about to purchase my first as well. Which size did you buy and were you happy with the size/model?

@beverlybasden2648 2 года назад

Thank you!

@DavidChiriboga 2 года назад

Great breakdown! Question, I’m about to purchase my first speed light. I want a rapid box as well, 26” or the 36” to start for portrait and some full body shots, for both outdoor and indoor?

@WestcottLighting 2 года назад

Thanks for watching David!! 36” will give you more options for closeup and full body light coverage. 26” is smaller and more portable, but optimized for closeup portraits.

@DavidChiriboga 2 года назад

@@WestcottLighting Ok awesome, thanks for the response.

@rickwisephotography 4 года назад

Before even using flash, what are your settings? Do you set your camera up using the ambient light and then use the flash. I have taken pictures for various organizations with really bad lighting and I'm not sure if I should use the ambient light which usually means a high ISO or bring down the ISO and lose some background.

@bgbrandon06 4 года назад

Before bringing light to the situation, get your environment looking how you'd like. This means depth of field, how bright/dark you want the environment, etc. Then bring the flash in and light your intended subject.

@kellyakakells 2 года назад

Model is Fine!!!

We normally prefer to be paper. Maybe scissors.

@medina8050 4 года назад

Time @ 1 hr 07 sec how did you not wash out the gel back ground light on floor with the main light flash?

@bgbrandon06 4 года назад

You can do this a couple ways. First, the light from the main light will "fall off" quite quickly and not reach the background if its on a low power like in this example. Second, the background light was on a higher power setting, so even though some of the main light is hitting the background, its getting overpowered by the gelled light due to its closeness to the background and its power setting. I hope this helps!

@miltonlegendre2024 4 года назад

lol... when the guy asked about metering the shot. I am glad you verified the question. It sounded like to me he said "could I meet her she's hot."

@TheGeocab 2 года назад

How tall should your light stand be when using a modifier? Is there a general rule? For example when you're shooting someone outside in the Metroparks.

@WestcottLighting 2 года назад

Typically an 8-10ft light stand will give you a lot of options especially when trying to bring a light above your subject. This is our go-to stand for on-location shoots: www.fjwestcott.com/10-light-stand-heavy-duty

@TheGeocab 2 года назад

@@WestcottLighting Thank you for the link. I bought a light stand for my first flash last weekend and it only goes to 6.5'. I should've went taller I guess.

Great vid. Thank you. Advice tho… Lapel mic location = lots of amplified swallowing noises Maybe move it down a bit away from your throat 😉

What is HSS?

@fercocq 3 года назад

Why do most of the outside photos look fake/photoshoped? Is it too much power/light compared to the background?

@WestcottLighting 3 года назад

Exactly, not balancing your flash and ambient light has that effect. We actually made a video about that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cwNaK2k6AF4.html
