Finally a very good video on the basics on how to set up your shot and how shutter and aperture are involved in this. Thanks a lot :)

I have been looking for a protocol like this, specifically for shooting 35mm film cameras with significantly lower sync speeds. "Take an overall exposure, underexpose by .5 stop, match flash power to measured aperture." Perfect. Needed this.

Nitpicking, but in the photo on the left, the ambient (sun) is from camera left. The flash is camera right.

Great video! A lot of information. Just to clarify, you cannot use a lightmeter when you use HSS, I think there’s only one that can read it, and it only works with a handful of flashes, and you still need to take a picture to read HSS, so it’s just a little faster than taking two, three pictures to set the power. And HSS will lose power, so you cannot just increase the shutter speed and keep shooting, you need to increase the flash power.

are you referring to the Sektonic 858 than can meter HSS?
@RickLincoln2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the Sekonic L858 meters HSS. It is the meter he is using in this video. I own one and HSS metering works perfectly.

I use ankle weights on my stand and have a 26 inch octabox. I find this almost impossible to tilt over by wind. But u are right. Once that puppy tilts over the monolight is gone. Something to think about.

As always.... seriously great mentoring, Michael. At 16:25 can you briefly mention how you have warmer tones on the left and cooler on the right.?? Did you simply drag around the color cast sliders in post because skin tones do not seem to be effected.?? Thanks so much for everything that you share..

Thanks for sharing your beautiful tutorial. Too bad you did not mention using ND filter as an alternative to HSS. One thing I will like to add is there are 3 ways to adjust ambient light instead of just using the shutter speed. 1) Adjust shutter speed (common and well covered here) 2) Adjust ISO/Flash power (e.g. increasing ISO and lower flash power will increase ambient exposure without changing flash exposure; for lower ambient exposure, just do the reverse by lowering the ISO and increase flash power) 3) Adjust Aperture/Flash power (Not a common technique but you can open up the aperture and lower flash to increase ambient exposure; for lower ambient exposure, just do the reverse of stopping down aperture and increase flash) Yes, there are also 3 ways to adjust the power of flash but I will not get into them here.

very impressive and informative. I do have a question, when I go into hhs does my flash automatically go to full power, or do I have to adjust the power to get a certain look?
@Behindtheshutter12 жыл бұрын
yes - you need to adjust power like you would in any other scenario - so lighting power will be tied to the scene, the camera settings, and the overall look you are going for. hth.

The meter is useful if we are using a speed under the sync limit of the camera. In my case 1/250th of a second. Do you have any tips about how to measure the flash contribution at HSS range? Thanks in advance. And a really good video.

If you are willing to use an ND filter, you can avoid HSS altogether. This will allow you to use your existing light meter to measure flash contribution.
