Flash II - Lighting for Photography - Part VI (second half) Show Notes

Hello all and welcome back to Allan Walls Photography.

This the second video on the subject of flash, the sixth part of the Lighting for Photography Series. We pick up right where we left off and discuss the duration of photographic flash, and how our flash devices are synchronized with our cameras. I explain why built in flash is really only useful as an optical flash trigger and why moving our speedlights off the camera is such a useful creative tool. I cover flash triggering and discuss several techniques for modifying on-camera flash to expand the lighting options available. We look at all the light modifiers that are available for speedlights and studio flash units, and spend some time considering how flash can be used in field and studio macro macro photography.

I throw in a few basic guiding principles for setting up flash lighting and provide some practical tips for buying the right kind of flash devices for your particular style of photography. It is rather a lot of information, but I hope you find it useful.

If you want more information about any of the equipment we discuss in this video, you can find it in the accompanying blog post, that can be found over on my website (www.allanwallsphotography.com/blog). The article will be released immediately after this video is available on YouTube.

There is only one remaining video in the Lighting for Photography series and that will be a deeper dive into everything to do with lighting for macro photography. That video will also include my macro lighting best practices, so it should be of particular interest to those of us who have been bitten by the macro bug.

Until next time, stay safe and be well!

All the best,

Allan
