I think there is great value in learning how to effectively use both TTL and Manual. If you think of TTL as "auto mode for flash" and just leave it at that, you're doing yourself a great disservice. TTL like anything else is a tool and tools need to be learned. Manual has a serious weakness where being 1 foot away from your "optimised flash exposure distance" to your subject will greatly change your exposure. TTL solves this problem because it can take into account the distance you are from your subject and increase output to to properly expose. Now TTL is not perfect obviously, if someone is wearing light clothing but has darker skin, you'll get some funky results with TTL, but neither is manual a perfect solution either. There are trade-offs and benefits to both. So you should learn how to use both so that when you're in situations where setting and forgetting in manual is not useful, knowing how to use TTL with your camera will help with that.

@V-Lipz 4 ай бұрын

Completely agree with you! And also: if you’re shooting with a flash in different lighting scenarios at an event, it’s pretty hard to keep the camera settings AND the flash settings correct so TTL is the perfect solution for that.

@TeshornMakingMoves 4 ай бұрын

You beat me to it. TTL is a game changer once you know how to use it. Not learning will make you think manual is the best option.

I've found a prime lens manual works it's always similar distance from subject so injust make tweaks with iso or aperture. Then if I was using like a 24 to 70 ttl is a must

Question: I like to shoot with auto-ISO (which I got with a limit set at max 2000 ISO) in manual mode. Ofcourse with shutterspeed as lengthy as possible. lon Normally this works great in all circumstances, but Im wondering what will happen in combination with Flash in TTL mode? Would it first pick the flash intensity or the ISO setting? Or both? Anyone has experience with this?

@Narsuitus 4 ай бұрын

When you change your camera orientation from landscape to portrait, do you change the position of your camera mounted flash?

I do sometimes but not all of the time. It depends on the shooting situation. But generally you can quickly switch your flash to shoot upright.

What are your thoughts on the Godox V1's and having the sphere mod that comes with it? I find with the mag mods that they can come off quite easily.

Wow you find the Magmod comes off easily? In my 10 years of using them I never found that to be the case. I personally haven’t used the V1 but I did notice they had that round mod which basically serves as the same purpose. It’s probably pretty useful.

@Justjamesweddings 4 ай бұрын

@@jbivphotography Yer I don't know why, I think when they are resting down by my side, they just seem to come off quite easily when brushing against my leg. They just feel quite clunky. I love the V1 I purchased recently and yer the round mod works so well and sticks on like glue.

What about group photos? I found 1/16-1/8 is not enough to light them up when you stop down to around f/5.6 or more. And some fuji cameras ISO 1600-2000 is not enough. So we really need to push some light sometimes. For lithium-ion powered flashes its still faster to recycle at 1/8 power.

using this rubber ball on the flash, you will get your camera's hot shoe broken in less than 5..8 weddings.We, as a team, used to use it and we had to send our cameras on maintenance for out hot shoes to be replaced. It helps, but destoys the camera...so its a big NO GO!

@avgoustinos 3 ай бұрын

@@jbivphotography hmm I dont know what to say. Maybe the problem on us is that most of our weddings and partys are outside and because we dont have a ceiling, we have to point the flash direct on the subject, so the weight of the flash with the ball is forward and not vertical, applying a lot of force on the hot shoe

1/30 second using flash is too slow, even though flash goes very fast. You can have under exposure photo but you can’t have blurry photos. I think you need full frame for this as you try with crop sensor and don’t want to raise iso and of course lower your shutter speed.

@jbivphotography 3 ай бұрын

When I’m saying 1/32 I’m talking about the flash power. Not the shutter. Your shutter should be a sync speed which varies from cameras but is usually around 1/250.

@Jack-oc5ty 26 күн бұрын

I'm 75 use flash inside and outside. I use to shot weddings, events, and portraits as a part time gig. When inside I've shot 1/30 shutter speed with flash alot and never had any problems (still don't) at any of the venues I've shot in.
