5 Quick Tips: Starting with Flash Photography

That ETTL for test-shot and switching to manual is so logical, when you say and show it. Thanks for that!

Awesome tutorial!!!

Excellent. I watched a few of Pye’s flash tutorials before a went out and bought a Godox v1 with a modifier kit. The modifiers really make a difference. If I had a traditional rectangle flash I would be using Magmod modifiers.

I love to see same video using westcott on camera flash. Is ETTL the long form of TTL?

So the flash power on your Speedlite is in whole numbers whereas most others use fractions 😅

$1,000 is too much for a speed light Pye. If I was sponsored by Profoto then sure, why not?

Gandalf because he is grey and white

You the man, Pye!!!

great tuto. For my a7rv, i purchased an expensive sflash sony HVL-F60rm2 whic, compared to my godox V1s and your prophoto, doesn't display the flash power and cannot use in manual mode (called tcm on godox). A pity. I must say that i know this bounce technique for years but any time i am in a event, i don't rely to a boucing wall,... and use magsphere 2, vertical or towars subject, to be sure not missing a shoot. I need to practice more the bouncing.

Pye my guy! Great content.

I agree that there was a very warm spot around the light. But, isn't the photo taken with cto too "magenta" ? how do you fix that in post ?

Super Teaching... Easy language... Clear Thoughts... Great....
Love... From... India.....

I’m really good instructions and graphics making it easy to understand. Great job.

Great stuff! I have always struggled with CTO and come to find out all I had to do was drop the white balance that far down! Wow!

Hey Pye great video. What if you are in a hall with very High ceilings how do you then bounce the light or use a cto gel?
or of your out doors at night how do you warm up the picture with on camara flash?

Thank you so much that was so useful

True lies, one of the best action movies of all time 👊

Nice random True Lies reference lol

Pye, you & Gavin are my fave online instructors! Lot of thanks from indonesia

Gandalf- gray and white

Please please Pye, use cheaper flashes so we know we get the same results regardless if possible 🙏

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANKS!!!

Flash is a great tool that amazingly impractical to use without advanced knowledge. it is extremely user unfriendly. I hate flash. Controls for flash sucks. Chimping all the time. constant testing and retesting. power issues relative to distance. ttl can be awesome or a fraking mess. no universal controllers.

but...if u can learn it, it is basically superpower.

But MAN i hate flash.

very very helpful !!!

Arnold S and Jamie Lee…. The bridge is out.

Love this! So much content in a short video! Thank you Pye!!!

You are the best teacher I know.

Thank you! 🙏

Mirrorless cameras can't use AF assist.

Did you name your dog Gandalf because you're a wizard with photography

AF asist x Predator Attack

Easy to understand, straightforward and I absolutely love your delivery - very easy listening/watching.

Awesome

You named him Gandalf because he's grey and white?

I've watched a bunch of your flash videos Pye, and in each one I learn something new, thank you! I liked the comment about filter films on building glass for energy efficiency and how a bounce flash can help clean up that tint. And also that tid bit about pointing the flash at the big incoming light source, so that it blends into that natural source on the bounce - A bit counter intuitive to 'dump the flash out the big day lit window' but it actually makes sense when you slow down to think about it.

Amazing tips! 🙏🏻

sir i am from india your camp idea is very usefullsirEasy to understand You are the best teacher i love you sir

Very good! Simple and instructive.

Awesome video! This is still all so confusing, but it’s getting better. Can MagMod gels attach to any flash?

is the grid plastic?! cheaper?

You’re a great teacher! Learned so much from this video. Thank you!!

name of scrim?

damn! i watched one video (this one) and learned so much. thanks. Subbed.

Hell yea that true lies reference hahaha

last action hero

Wow... the instructor is awesome

Think I finally understand CTO now - now to go experiment to prove I do!
