There’s a time and a place that on camera flash is perfect for. It’s not very often that I use it, but when you need it, you need it and I’m going to give you a quick overview of how to do it using the Godox 685II flash (NOT sponsored). This video is great for beginners or photographers who don't use a lot of on-camera flash.

I've seen on-camera flash really frustrate people. I hope this helps demystify it and make it something that helps your photography.

@Burbituate

All these photo tip vids repeat the obvious, really just vehicles for adverts and product plugs really. Just practice and play.

@Znine_Z9

Your ceiling is low that's why the bounced flash looked better. But your flash didn't do that calculation!😮 When you dialed up the compensation it gave extra output, but your TTL can't guess where you're going to bounce the flash (ceiling or adjacent or even back wall) the distances or the heights. The infrared reads only the distance to the subject you're meter on. If you're going to bounce, guestimate, dial up flash power and do a couple of test shots.

No one ever says what settings and mode that you set the CAMERA too!!!

Modern technology is so wonderful. I'll never forget my first auto flash, my Vivitar 285, and telling my dad that it automatically set the right exposure depending on the color used in the variable thyristor. My dad said - no way. He couldn't believe it would be accurate. LOL. He wasn't a photographer and neither was I really at that point. But thru the years technology just keeps getting better and easier. Great video Hayward!

There is another viable alternative to TTL speedlights and that is Auto Flash where the sensor is in the flash unit itself. The legendary Vivitar 285HV was my choice for events and weddings for quite a while. Auto Flash is not a plug and play as TTL but all you have to do is match the aperture on the flash to the lens, set the ISO and you are good to go. A good used 285HV can be had for $30 and will last a lifetime, and give you results similar to, or better than TTL. An alternative to the Vivitar 285HV is the Nikon SB-28, a film era speedlight but with Auto Flash mode available and in Auto mode will work with any brand of camera. The Nikon SB-28 is as powerful as the Vivitar 285HV but in a smaller and lighter package but at about $50 in good used condition.

I am a new wedding photographer & need to learn flash for reception & dark venues. What should my shutter speed be if my subject is moving? Flash freeze’s movement so this is where I get confused. Just to be clear, if I’m in a very dark room per day & I can’t see my subject do I have to set my camera settings (ISO) first before using flash?

@SamKnutson

I have a flash but rarely use it and these were great tips for me! It never occurred to me that not pointing the flash at the subject could look better but I tried some quick test shots and what a difference.

@Jerry10939

I did a lot of flash photography back when I was an army photographer in the film era. Most of the time I let the flashes automatic function work its magic. But I also knew how to use it manually with guide numbers, and bouncing flash off the ceiling or walls.

@jamiesaunders1422

how bout shoot a venue indoors, like the dance floor after a wedding reception.would that be a time you would need it?

@samdub

This helped out a lot. Thanks

Thank you nice tips

@SteveTPhotography

Great video !

@joncothranphotography9375

Thanks! I have just gotten my first speed light and I will be shooting "fill in" at a wedding tomorrow for my neighbor. I have never used flash before and I am surfing "RU-vid University" for information. I am only a "Hobby Photographer" and I normally shoot wildlife/nature as well as cityscape images with a little bit of sports, so this will be a challenge that should stretch my skill level upward. Thanks again for your video!

@johnyates153
