Thanks Yaw, I'm just starting to learn in portrait/fashion photography and watching your video inspires you, especially when it comes to how to use flash in outdoor shoots. Thanks a lot.
With the AD200 & HSS, when you are outside what do you use the AD200 at? I get that it varies depending how far/close and modifiers but im curious if I will be maxing out the power or 1/2 & 1/4 all the time. I am debating on getting a stronger light if so.
It actually depends on the time of day. If it’s very sunny/bright you’ll have to max out power or even take one of your diffusers off ( if softbox or octabox). But I bet you won’t be maxing out all the time. I didn’t go below 1/16 in this particular photoshoot
Hey! I see you were shooting with the a73, and your iso was at 400. Did you have a particular reason for it? Doing some quick math at 2:55, you could be at iso100 shutter 1/200 (loose 2 stops iso wise, gain 2 stops shutter wise) to get the same exposure. Freeing you from using HSS, and giving your light more room to work with (refresh and power wise).
Yes that works too. That day was overcast so I didn’t really bother myself with the iso and it worked fine. Days when I need extra power from my flash I usually work with low shutter ( just enough to avoid motion blur )
Я, наверное, ленивый, очень ленивый фотограф. Мне лень таскать лишнюю аппаратуру и аксессуары. Но зато, вероятно, усложнение процесса фотографирования - шанс заработать больше денег. Правда так работать скучно.
@@Yaw_Niel you can make your final look in camera is what I’m saying. Nobody wants to sit and waste time editing. Battery life is a bonus. Specially when you do videos like this,you could misguide people.
Lovely work! I've just recently got an AD200 but haven't shot outside with it yet, what power were you mostly using it at and how long would you get from one battery?
@@stuarthayesphotography You can't go by his flash power or camera settings as your settings will always be different to his because your lighting situation will never be the exact same as his or anyone else's. You may need more or less power depending on a host of variables, including the light modifier you use, time of day, and the actual location itself.
You made it look simple but it really is that simple...I see so many beginner photographers that are afraid of OCF or think it's too complicated...it's really easy once you use it
