WATCH NEXT: Off camera flash for beginners step by step guide👉👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLZ-l6Sbq7a2ooU.html

Hello from London, UK. I think you're one of the few American photography guys I've watched that isn't overly loud and brash. Just laid back, honest and very likeable. Clear concise and honest explanations - great video, thanks.

Finally someone who breaks it down so easily & covers all the stuff I want to know about 🙏

What are the Basics of Flash Photography? Modes: 1. Manual: change output manually. 2. TTL: automatically determines output. 3. Multi: more control... set flash to fire multiple times + intervals. Flash Power: 1/1 → 1/256 | brightest → darkest - Brighter can increase recycle time. - Adrian typically shoots 1/32 ~ 1/16. Flash Zoom: Spread/size of flash, - Some have auto setting - Generally, match to lens eg. 35mm 85mm etc Channels: communication between flash & trigger - Match between flash & trigger - If multiple photographers, use separate channels Groups: can assign different flashes to each group

Just wanted to let you know, a year later and your video is still helping people. Thank you

I’ve been shooting for years, and have also been a little confused about my flash. You explained exactly what I wanted to know. Such a simple but concise explanation. Thank you!

This is a guy who is the type who is not afraid to pick something up and teach himself. Much respect to guys like him. I agree with just about everything he says. Great stuff bro. Keep it coming. Guys like you are how I learn. Thanks for your time and knowledge

This definitely was the easiest to understand settings tutorial I've found. Simple, to the point and easy to grasp!

This is literally the first of about 100 videos I’ve searched in the past 2 days that actually explained what it is, what it does, and how to use it. Definitely subscribed!

This was absolutely perfect. I'm a cinematographer and I am wanting to teach my kids portrait photography. So while this is easy for me to understand, you've given me the perfect tool to teach them. Thank you!!!!

I'm sure someone has already said this or something similar but multi mode is how in like a skateboard magazine you'll see a photo with like multiple images of a skater doing a single trick in one photo, it'll be a long exposure and the flash will illuminate the subject multiple times as it's changing position.

I typically shoot outdoors. I got roped into shooting a wedding next month. I just purchased a flash. This crash course was a Godsend! Thanks so much! Happy snapping! ☺️

I've watched a half a dozen videos on flash and this is the best one by far! Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this!

Great video. I’ve steered clear from flash, because I’ve always been intimidated. This breaks it down pretty easily. 😀

Thank you so much! I was having trouble finding a video that explained it in simple terms, but then I found your video and it’s super helpful.

I'm way late to the party, I know but, Multi Mode is Strobe. You can set how many times the flash will fire, in a strobe effect, and how much time there is between each successive flash. Btw, thank you for this video! I came in knowing a little about flash, but after watching your video it now seems less....daunting.

Awesome explanation of flash. Thanks for even being transparent about not using Multi mode itll force folks to go learn more about it.

Wow, three days later I stumble across this video. You answered every question I had on my Godox TT685N settings. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excellent job describing the basics. you covered the foundation and gave good advice. and tips. most instruction from other photographers is not as good as yours because your approach is step by step like a well written recipe with no details missing. You start at the beginning and then continue to add info. You gave enough info for me to set up speed lights. THANKS. appreciated it and will look at your other videos on lighting

Thank you. Great beginner discussion, perfect for people like me. You explained the basic idea on so many functions. For instance, I had NO IDEA what that use was for the bounce card. Thanks a lot Dude.

Simple, concise and informative. Well done, Adrian. Thank you very much!!

THANKYOU! I needed the basics to get started and you provided just that. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials

Thank you for the simple yet detailed information. You answered 75% of my questions in 10 minutes! 👊🏾👍🏾

I teach photography in the UK. This is one of the best KZfaq explanation videos I’ve seen. I loved the fact there wasn’t the usual American bollox at the start of how freaking awesome everything is…you might get a few hundred students subscribe… excellent work fella. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

thanks this is a fantastic tutorial I am just learning and this is super helpful

Thanks for this video. Even after doing photography for over 50 I have had trouble with flash photography. This helped a lot.

Thank You!! Straight to the point and easy to understand....FINALLY! New subscriber!

Thank you Adrian, that was so helpful!

Tnx for dumming down, straight going too it AND soundproofing? Sounds good, tnx man.

This was definitely the best video I’ve watched by far on flash so far! -. Heading to the next flash series! Haha. As i shoot a low lit wedding tomorrow 🫠

Love love love how simple this video is! I’ve watched a lot of KZfaq videos where I end up confused but man this is hands down the best video to refer to for anyone wanting to learn speedlight!

Thanks for a great video. Well explained and simple to understand!!!

Thank you for this Video make ,it a little easier to understand the flash,

Honestly, by reading the instructions from the box, you will automatically become a manual master user. But is easier to listen to this man, is faster and easier to understand!

Oh my gosh, this is the first time I've understood how to use my flash. THANK YOU! I was ready to give up and sell it.

Maaaaan thank you soooo much!! Finally a flash video that I can understand! I'm shooting an indoor wedding next wknd, no windows and I was starting to freak out 😩 your video helped tremendously! Thank You🙏🏾💙

Thank you i bought a cheap canon 580ex i think it's called now i know a little more about using speedlight thank you

Well done! I use both ttl and manual. For speed I use ttl, when I have time, i use manual. The nice thing with ttl is flash compensation. When the light changes frequently, flash compensation is a must for me. I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Thanks for sharing.

finally after 75 videos one that actually helped, bless you 🙏
