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

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.

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.
