Flash Photography Exposure Basics

11 Feb

Flash photography is a skill not many try to master. Its like people just don’t want to learn it and just muddle through with their camera and flash on auto. I’m here to tell you: its super easy!!! The basics of flash exposure: Shutter speed affects ambient light only ISO and aperture affect ambient light AND flash Flash distance, power, and modifiers all change its output. When you understand that concept its easy. If you want to adjust the flash change ISO, aperture, flash power or flash distance. If you only want to change the ambient light in the scene then adjust your shutter speed. I have all my students start out in manual exposure mode with the flash on manual too. That way you are controlling the flash and learning how it works, not just getting by.

You have to define what you want to shoot or what kind of story you want to tell: Are you shooting a fictional short film or are you running through the city taking snapshots of people and random events?

Nikon SB-600: The Basics

19 Dec

Questions? Go here: www.youtube.com Quick overview on the Nikon SB-600 speedlight. SB-600 is compatible with these cameras: FILM F-301/N2000 F-401/N4004 F-401S/N4004S F-401X/N5005 F-501/N2020 F-601/N6006 F-601M/N6000 F-801/N8008 F-801S/N8008S F3-Series F3-Series (with AS-17) F4-Series F5 F6 F50-Series/N50-Series F55-Series/N55-Series F60-Series/N60-Series F65-Series/N65-Series F70-Series/N70-Series F75-Series/N75-Series F80-Series/N80-Series F90-Series/N90-Series F90X/N90S F100 FA FE2 FG FM2 FM3A FM10 FE10 Nikonos V Pronea 600i Pronea 6i DIGITAL D40 D40X D50 D60 D70-Series D80 D90 D3000 D3100 D3200 D5000 D5100 D7000 D100 D200 D300-Series D600 D700 D800-Series D1-Series D2-Series D3-Series D4-Series The SB-600 doesn’t have SU-4 Mode available, which means it cannot be used wirelessly as an optical slave. A CLS compatible camera with onboard flash as a commander available or with an external unit (SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, or SB-900 as master flash or SU-800 Commander) is required to trigger the SB-600 wirelessly. Pocketwizard PlusII or MultiMAX cannot be used with SB-600 due to lack of an external PC terminal connectivity. The SB-600 CANNOT be used as a commander. Note: CLS compatible cameras that don’t have an onboard flash requires an external unit to trigger the SB-600 wirelessly such as with another flash unit as a commander mode (SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, and SB-910 only) or with SU-800 Commander.

DSLR Basics: Stops and Metering

17 Nov

www.photoextremist.com In this photography video tutorial you will learn how your DSLR camera references light as “stops”, how it meters light to give you the aperture, shutter speed, ISO values, and how adjusting any of those settings to your liking in certain situations can give you a better image than relying on luck (Full AUTO mode with no further adjustments) 100% of the time.

Photography Basics for Beginners

16 Nov

How many videos have you watched of professional photographers telling you how to take pictures? I am just a regular guy, who wanted to learn how to shoot great pictures, and wanted to dumb it down to where even I could understand. This video may not be professionally done, but hopefully it helps move you to the next level of photography. Good luck and hope this helps. Also, much love and thanks to the professional photographers that helped me gather the knowledge and courage to do this video. Check out Snapchick, KreativeVueTV, and MichaelTheMentor among many other great people on YouTube to learn more advanced (and correct terminology).
