Sunny weather is great, unless you want to take portrait photos. Bright light often means harsh shadows on your subject. In this video digital expert Gavin Hoey http://www.gavtrain.com will look at using on and off camera flash to control the light and get some great results.

  • This is truly amazing! Just exactly what I want/need. Starts with sunny no flash, continues to on camera flash and ended with off camera! That's how you teach photography!

  • @4Firearms......Yes you are an idiot. Kids have a natural innocence and beauty that can make shooting them really easy. If you can't see or understand this what are you doing even holding a camera? And the fact that the first thing popping into YOUR head is pedophilia begs the question: why aren't you seeing a psychiatrist?

    Nice tut Gavin!

  • nice vid.

    can you please tell me what wireless device you used to trigger the flash.h

    ow much did they cost you.

    once again great vid.

  • @MousikesAnadyseis : There is a risk involved with using older flash devices on new DSLR flashes.

    When triggering the flash there CAN be (this isn't allways the case) a "backfire" caused by the flash pulse (the flash pulse itself can be around 600V).

    In newer flash devices this probably is TTL-logic (digital 5V) but in older flashes this can be a pulse beyond 5V causing electronics in your camera to malfunction (defects are also a possible effect of this.)

  • you ROCK! GAVIN!!

  • @aeroub Actually maybe YOU'RE the one with the sick mind having thought of it. That's Gavin's daughter and he is simply very proud to include her in his works as any father would be. Gavin has done a lot of great videos and generously shares his work and knowledge with all who want to learn and you should be thankful for it. What are you even doing here anyway? Go troll somewhere else. Gavin is very respected in the photo world and by us too.

  • @DigitalRedWing i see, yup maybe it is a 400D

  • @minkorrh she must be his daughter, lol, :P

    too funny about your comment! and your fucking crazy head! not his
