Using Speedlights Indoors

[WoWproductions21]

Is a fast lens recommended for this? I use a 50mm 1.8G and flash pics I take with wide apertures come out darker than 5.6 for some reason.

[DJGixxerlive]

Awesome video, helped me figure out my new Bower bounce flash.

Totally sounds like "penis ceiling" at 13:17".....

[TechnexLOL]

Wow, look at the difference in photos, even better than natural lighting in some cases of course, going to pick a flash up :).

[metmoiwa]

very informative.

thank you very much

[prmass1]

the video is long but great tips- just fast forward and it will be ok

[vanz728]

it is really helpful. I am using sb900. I found it when i shot indoors, the powerful speedlight does not always automatically provide the effect I want. Therefore I need to manually adjust the power down

[anhhungvietnam]

nice video, very helpful, thank you.

[azad7907]

there is not that different between them .

[Lady4237]

Thank you very much your video was very informative. I have just purchased an SB700 and it is so much easier for me to understand when viewing your video than attempting to read the manual. Your knowledge and ease of understanding is very much appreciated. Going to use for the first time to take some portraits for a Christmas present tonight!!! Will continue to look out for further videos. Once again many thanks.

[srsapna]

Very Informative...looking for more tutorials

[4EVERMYSERENITY]

Thanks for your tutorial. Let me ask, I am considering the new Nikon SB-910 which replaced the SB0900. would the newer model 910 have the same easy to use dial to switch over to remote/master?

Right now I have a SB-700 and man is it hard to use. love it, but I am a newb to the menu settings. I also have a nikon d7000

[sylopez92]

@4EVERMYSERENITY Same here, I just got the SB-700 for my Nikon D700 and I have no clue how to set it for certain situations.

[wernermischler]

Thanks very Informative!

[philiparevalo]

very informative, thanks

[AdrianTregoning]

For those who don't want to hear about the different models of flash, skip right to 06:00. Great video, thank you very much! Informative and clear. Lovely wife too :)

[MrTanker10a]

Absolutely, excellent tutorial on the basics and how to use a speedlight. I am a subscriber of your Blog.

[aileentownsend]

Thank you for such an informative and well explained video. It's hard to find tutorials that are clearly shot AND with someone who knows how to speak clearly and informatively. I especially appreciated the photos you displayed right after and with the side-by-side comparisons!

[Exupery1976]

he seems very capable.

[adismima]

I did the bounce off the wall..and my pictures kept coming out extremely dark..please help!

[sosvocaloid]

"We don't really have much time"

*Looks at video time* *31 minutes* LOL

[ptlofts]

@sosvocaloid Yeh.. ahahahahahah

[DeCypherMusic101]

@sosvocaloid lol hahaha same thing

[nmansurov]

@sosvocaloid that's because I could spend hours talking about flash, so 31 minutes is actually pretty short :)

[psindhwani]

@nmansurov good job, thank you

[Phonoise]

@sosvocaloid same thing exactly

[sirarchery]

[rockingrobot]

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. Just wondering where I can find a tutorial on using the flash with full manual mode

[selimulated]

Thanks so much for your valuable time =]

[swapnilhitman]

Thank you very much... really one of the best videos I have seen for photography, which explain everything that I need to know... Thanks for sharing your experience and appreciate your efforts. .... I would like to request you to do a video for low key lighting photography....

Thanks.

[khalid537]

All tutorial and introductory videos should be made like this, excellent video. Thank you.

[oblivionthoughts]

can u please send me a link of the stand and the umbrella u used please?

[donnchen]

great video. Thank you!

[darbats]

hi very nice video...can u pls teach me how to use the remote from the sb 900 synchronize to the camera? what settings from camera do and what settings to sb 900? hoping for your help thanks....

[Chris4Pris]

Finally! Good Explanation. I Understand Clearly Now. Thanks!

[imfalks]

I don't know why your steering people away from the sb400. IMO it is a very capable flash and much better than the pop-up. I use it for times when I don't need a big strobe. The flash head tilts for bounce flash and you're able to vary the output with the compensation dial and it's powered by two AAs that last a long time. Great little flash for casual photography. With the release of the PW Flex it can be mounted on top and used for backlighting.

[dedo2u]

Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

Highly appreciated.

[jdwesterveld]

Thank you very much for sharing this. I just bought the SB-700 and am learning how to make the best use of it. Your video has helped a lot. Thanks also to Lola for being so patient! :-)

[Drmikekuna]

[schneeg]

hi you forgot to add that the SU800 can also be used a commander unit

[fariz28]

thank you for your video..really helpful and very easy to understand..

[rkbharat]

Wonderful tutorial, this was my first lesson to speed light. Thank you very much

[MrsEmilyStraw]

This video was incredibly helpful. I just bought the Nikon SB-50DX, and I can't find a whole lot of information on that particular speedlight. Do you know which one you show that is the closest to the one I have? My guess is the 600, but I'm not sure. What I do know, though, is that already my pictures are getting WAY better, and I really appreciate this video.

[NonSoloImmagini]

I don't want to doubt what you say but at least try to understand why, taking pictures inside my house where the lighting is sometimes less than that seen in the video, I can't take a picture properly exposed without increasing the ISO sensitivity up to ISO 800-1600 with an aperture of f/2 and 1/60s; currently I own an SB-600 flash unit.

How do you get the images so well lit and properly exposed with only ISO 200, is perhaps due to more and better light generated by the SB-900?

[NonSoloImmagini]

@NonSoloImmagini

Maybe I found the cause. The flash was not set in TTL but in TTL-BL, the SB-600 automatically selects this mode by default (!?!), based on what I could see the flash in TTL-BL to balance the ambient light tends to underexpose, while in TTL the photo looks much brighter like what I see in your video. Thanks, maybe now I begin to understand how to properly use my flash indoors.

[gogglez76]

@NonSoloImmagini Totally agree. I think he might have use the manuel mode on his flash. Other wise its not possible to use such a low iso setting with 1/100 of a sec without increasing the iso to about 800 and beyond. Something is not right with this information.

[NonSoloImmagini]

@gogglez76 No, the information is correct. At the time I had not much experience in flash, but now I can manage flash just like this guy says in this video, and when I shot indoors (house) I also use very similar settings. As I mentioned in a previous comment (below) I can thank this guy if I am now able to properly use the flash indoors :)

[Turkey0guz]

I'm buying the nissin di622, what do you think about it?

[gtpixel]

Cool tutorial, thank you very much.

[pleaseallowtoenter]

Really Really nice explanation. When is the part 2 of this video ( Speedlights in manual mode) coming up.

[minisg]

I would also like to send many thanks to your wife !

[minisg]

Thanks very much for this Video. The way you explan is so very easy to understand.

Do you have a jobb like a teacher ?

[mon3yshot]

Great video! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain these techniques. Look forward to more speedlight configuration videos;-)
