Mark thank once again for helping the new people.

The best channel ever seen. Mark thank you.

that's exactly what i needed. looks like we are hand in hand. you with the lessons and I with the learning speed.

Mark thanks for all your time you share with us. As soon as I get some cash out of my photography work i will buy your products. Thanks again.

One of the best flash tutorials I have seen! Thank you for the excellent explanations and clarification on how the exposure settings work with the flash.

This is by far the most useful video you have done so far Mark!!!! Great job. I have just bought myself a westcott umbrella, stand, bracket and radio triggers. I had mostly worked out the settings in M mode on my 60d but it was just fantastic to hear a clear explanation on how to set it up.... Feeling more confident to do my first job taking photo's of children in a play school. Wish me luck!!

What an awesome episode!!!! So full of creativity and very real! I've worked in 12X12 room with another photog and man what a challenge it was but, we both learned so much so I can attest to how "real world" this is….AND by no means I am discounting any other episode Mark has done. I'm simply expressing my experience in this situation. Thank you Mark!

LOVE it... great vid Mark...nice hands on video... good work, please keep coming up with new videos... appreciate it.

You are Godsent Mr. Wallace. Keep up the good work...

one of the best videos so far! lighting technique made easy! thank you very much :)

Thanks Mark! All your videos are great!!! Good stuff!!! Also love the outtakes!!!

@tieman172 We used the SU800 to demonstrate the gear needed for the majority of photographers (Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc) who don't have a specific camera. We're trying to teach principles not specific gear.

@snapfactory I appreciate your response. As the others have said this really is one of the best videos you have produced! Thanks again for all that you do!

I always use this set up, and followed it to the "T" and it works wonderfully, Thanks.

Wow, I love this channel. Mark you're such a good teacher.

Apparently I'm the only old guy on here. Sliding in the 'Les' reference at 1:18 was genius. However, I do live near Cincy and my father-in-law worked at WQRP in Dayton a long time ago. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming.

Mr. Mark, i watched almost all of your videos, they are awesome and youre the best KZfaq presentator ever seen. I hope you will consider my request and do more of enterior and real estate shows, since i am struggling with real estate photography and panorama stiching. As you guess, exposure is the biggest problem i struggle with to get even exposure for photo stiching. Love your show, keep on and good luck!!! Love from Bosnia!

This is just awesome.... excellent ways of creating portraits...... thank you so much Mark

Learnt more from this video then several books!!!!! Just need to learn how to change power on my 580 flash units now. Canon 5D mk2 Brill instruction.

that was awesome mark, loved it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark & Team, Thank you for another great episode and tips!

I often try to crunch in studio strobes in a similar space like in this video, and believe me, I break my legs over them. Maybe I should go back to my speedlights that collect dust these days, your pictures turned out great! Thanks for another informative video.

loved the very last pic. she looked gorgeous

wow…. one of the best tutorials I've seen on the many ways to shot on a budget. Thanx, I got a shoot coming up and this was really informative. Like to show you the shots when they are complete.

Thanks for sharing these tips it will help me to set up my own studio from home for basic photo shoot. Thx

Just something that ran across my mind while watching this: can you imagine how much longer it must have taken people to learn things such as lighting back in the days of using only film? No "look at the LCD to see how your shot turned out instantly" stuff. It must have been a painstakingly long process learning the technical aspects of shooting.

great video Mark ! keem em coming !!

very very understundable and fun to watch videos. you are sir a great mentor.

Inspiring lesson for the beginners.Thanks a lot.Great images in limited budget Studio.

this was a great video, love the set up.

Love you man.... your Explanation is Just Awesome.... Thank You :)

this is my favorite epesode mark. because im a beginer in photography. nery good

Excellent information, thanks a bunch!!

The Nikons can remotely trigger the Speedlights without adding any additional equipment using the D90 and up. It's a built in feature. You only need wireless transmitters in direct sunlight or when you can get line of sight to the Speedlight.

on the nikon you have the cls system (creative lighting system) in the camera, so you don't need the su800. its free no need for remote comander. it works great and you can control each speed light independently increasing or decreasing the power.

Sir, that was a great lesson, thanks!

Very good tutorial ... Thinking of getting a wee strobe lighting system for my house n this video helps me with a few future ideas thanx

Very nice Mark - there is a huge group of folks that will enjoy this - a budget studio - the way of photo studios is going down hill as the cameras get better for the main stream - so more and more folks will be doing just what you demonstrated - do bad for the trade -

This was sooo useful. Thank you so much.

Fantastic video... lots of great ideas!

that was actually a really informative video. top marks

Man; you make this look so easy! my garage = sutdio soon! to give an idea of costs: my setup: SPeedlight EX 580 II by Canon + 2 budget ones China made: Yongnuo Digital (ETTL II,IR sensor& Master/Slave too) all OK+. wireless set: 1 sender,3 receivers by Cactus( no ETTL here :( ) 3 stands and 3 umbrellas(as in this vid), shootthrough& silver/white bounce (Small modifiers I've built myself). all for +/- 300 €; excluding the Speedlight, off course. great vid as usual!!

Great job, as always, Mark. (loved the Less Nessman reference :-)

Such a good video for me to see today. I am a beginner photographer and I got a Speedlite kit for Christmas. Very informative. Saving it. New Subbie.

Great video for getting started, thanks

Great episode! Thank you again :)

D-7000 has a command flash inside the menu of camera customs settings for the sb-600,sb-800 and sb-900, and sb-910 and sb-700 speed light. You most likely won't need the Nikon su-800 . You can save save some money.

I can recomend using a pringles can instead of the snoot thingy. You could also build a grid by using straws in the can

Thanks Mark your vieo is very helpful as a refresher

Very nice video ! Thank you for all this informations!

The Nikon D7000 can trigger a Nikon flash using the pop up commander flash. Therefore you won't need the SU800 trigger which can be expensive. The Nikon SB900 flash can be bought used for less than $300. All of this Nikon kit, body, flash, stand, umbrella can be bought used for about $1000. You could even add a second flash for $125 or so connected to a photo trigger ($35) for a more interesting lighting setup.

Awesome video! Thank you! God bless you!

Mark excellent video i have a small studio which will be up shortly nice too know what too use with the speedlites ..Gord

great advice! Looking forward to the pringles can technique ;)

Wow I learned so much in 16 mins! Thank you!

Very nice episode.. I'm ordering the Honl Snoot

Excellent video. Great info for beginners like myself. Thanks much.

Great tips! Love this vids!

Very nicely done!

Excellent video, thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

thumbs up for Les Nessman tape reference

Really good video! More speedlite studio tips, please.

Thank you Mark. I love it

If your flash is set on TTL mode then it will adjust the power automatically to match the camera settings.

as always MY HERO!!!

love my d7000. Inbuilt commander mode works with 40 quid neewer flashes.

I am a proud student of Professor Mike Wallace at KZfaq University.

@snapfactory Exactly. My Canon 5D doesn't have a pop-up flash. In fairness I didn't need the use of the video but still very informative for those with a Canon lower end setup where you need a ST-E2 or a 550/580EX on camera as a master (Nikon Commander).

precise & straight to the point. Thanks Mark! btw, is it possible to add links (either in the video or description) to the equipments used? Like the hot-shoe adaptor. That's would be great!

Very good Video... there are a lot of other cheep options for pocket wizards.You can get 3 Radio trigger Transceivers for about 50 Buggs a strong flash for 70 bugs each. Much more better and Cheeper when working in Manual Mode, but not so comfortable as shown in your video.

Yes, it's much easier to fit the video cameras, video lights and audio gear into a big studio with a small room.

Excellent video - thanks.

If they are asking about shooting in a studio they most likely already have flashes. Also, you can find all kinds of 3rd party flashes like Yongnuo. They make a descent flash comparable to the Canon 430ex minus the ETTL mode.

Thanks for this awesome video

Would love links to the products and prices. Also a breakdown for even lower cost would be amazing.

I the grand scheme on what you can spend on studio lighting it is more budget friendly than other options.

great tips thanks a lot and God bless.

Great tips Mark :D

This guy is simply amazon

@JMLubag...I did a test to see if the commander flash was visible in an exposure...it is. I had to cross 1/400th before its reflection on a shiny surface could not be seen. Now does it really effect an exposure to any appreciable level is beyond me. THough it will show in a shiny object. One bit of advise...never hold a speed light directly against your chest to block its light. You will melt your shirt!

@tieman172 I wouldn't say it's "obscene." But you're right they could have mentioned that people on an extremely short budget can probably get away with using the on camera flash to trigger the off camera flashes.

Nikon CLS, simply the best !

Really,really good video. thank you.thank you...

@TheCodenameHSK u can use the pop up flash just as a commander without it adding any light to the subject.. in case u ddnt know...

this is a very usefull and great tips. thank you so much..

Great video!

Brilliant video thank you

OMG! +win for the Les Nessman / WKRP reference! :D :D :D

very helpful job!! keep it up!!

Nice tutorial! Thanks!

Awesome! nice tutorial

i love this video so much :) thanks alot

Thanks. Good video and Good explain.

Mark, to keep the cost down, the D7000 can act as commander. No need for an SU-800.

great video !!!

fantastic ... i learned a lot! tnx.

Great tutorial.

this is exactly how my work space is in my dinning room!!!

and a model with a striking beauty also helps
