@kennethcheong4498 9 ай бұрын

You addressed the exposure, but for off camera flash, could you also address flash placement (angle, distance) and approximate power setting at that distance for a start? I know it might need to be adjusted up/down according to the situation and effect you want, but what's a rough guide to start out?

@kimberlyb7 9 ай бұрын

Hi Mr Hernandez, I do have one question, continuous light, as far as the photo outcome goes, is it better to use the flash or continuous? I don’t understand the difference in regards to making the photo look better.. Hope I made sense ! Thank you sm

Just drawing back to your old days when you had a DSLR, how did you solve problems of focusing would you prefer focusing and recomposing or not?

@fjhphoto Жыл бұрын

Focusing and recomposing sucked.😬 I'd never go back to doing that. I actually bought a Canon 6D again last year and it has face tracking now. But if it didn't have that feature then yes I would be forced to focus and recompose OR use a focus point on the face to take my photo.

I heard you mention on one of your videos that you are located in So. Texas, where abouts are you? I am in Corpus Christi and was wondering if you ever did any kind of mentoring where you let someone shadow one of your shoots. Just wondering as I am trying to get the hang of shooting with off camera strobe.I will probably get the hang of it eventually but being retired I have the time to explore resources to try and get it right. Seeing first hand how you do it would be awesome!!!

Two questions. Does having the wheels on the c stand help prevent the wind from blowing it over? I see you have the weight on it too but wondering if the wheel help prevent it from tipping since it will roll. Your setting of 1/2 power with that 400 strobe, is that the same as using a 200 strobe at full power?

@fjhphoto Жыл бұрын

The wheels are mainly there just to make it easier to move around. Unfortunately my back light actually fell during this photoshoot because a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere. The weight did it's job for most of the photoshoot except when that huge gust came. Yup, the 400 at 1/2 power would equal the 200 at full power.

@boostedmaniac Жыл бұрын

@@fjhphoto thanks for the info. Yeah my ad300 got wrecked when the wind blew it over. I practically paid for a new one repairing the back LCD, replacing the bulb, and the internal circuitry to make it flash. Hopefully yours won’t be as bad as mine.

I had a similar problem . I went out for a photoshoot and it was sunny ☀️ n i used sony a7iii with a godox trigger with godox ad600 . Shooting on manual mode. So when i mounted my trigger on my camera n turn on the trigger it auto changed my settings and my images were to expose. I had to reduce to aperture in other to reduce the amount of light coming into to he sensor but i lost that depth of field. And i didnt enjoy the effect on the flash light d way i expected . What could be the problem boss? Can u help me with some clarifications?

@fjhphoto Жыл бұрын

You need to leave the transmitter off when adjusting your settings to expose for the photo. Once you like the exposure then you can turn the transmitter on. The screen will not show how the photo will be exposed because you are using flash. The only solution is to take a photo and see how you like it and then make adjustments after. If you feel that there is not enough ambient light then you can slow the shutter or raise ISO. This means you will reduce the flash a bit as well. If you feel there is too much ambient light then you do the opposite and lower the ISO or raise the shutter then raise the power of the flash.

Added the exif to the photos before the photoshoot began. The exif for the photos once it started were about the same settings. In the new location I just switched to 1/3200th, f/2.8, ISO 100, and stayed at 1/4th power.
