flash

My brother plans to get a used SX230, and I do know that flash pops up automatically on every startup, and that it lowers down on every shutdown. However... 1. If you let it pop up, and select "Flash Off" option among the flash settings, will it stay off even when it pops up on the next...

Hello, New to the site. I shoot with a Canon 6D and I have been using a Yongnuo YN685 flash and YN622C-TX controller and I love them. Arriving tomorrow is a Flashpoint Xplor 600 and R2 controller and I am wondering are the two flashes compatible with one controller??? Or do I need to purchase a...

Hi, I have a D500 with a 24-70mm and just got a Flashpoint XPLOR 600 with an 38" parapop and a Sekonic L-308S-U Flashmate. I was doing some testing with a subject to try and create some basic profile pictures. Is there any expectation to be able to use this combination outdoors, during the day...

Exactly what the title says. Looking for something better than the default flash but still portable. All existing listings for this are a bit expensive so if anyone has one they're willing to sell for cheap, I'd be more than happy to take it off their hands!

I have a D7200 and also several old manual Sunpak hot shoe flashes (before they were called speedlites). I use them with a flash trigger and it works fine as long as I am NOT in manual mode on the camera???? It works (fires the flashes) in A, S, P and even in Custom modes (U1 & U2), but in M the...

US copyright law says the photographer retains the copyright to the images, but what makes someone "the photographer" of a given photo? I didn't press the shutter button for my profile pic for this forum, one of the models did. But I was directing the shoot. In the photography world, people...

Hi guys! So, I have a Yongnuo RF-603 wireless flash shutter trigger and I don't understand how to make it work. I'm using it with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon Flash SB 700. The RF 603 goes on and off, aparently works, but when I put it on my camera it doesn't make the flash work. I followed the...

The other day I noticed something fall off my camera when I picked it up and with closer inspection I realized that my camera's hot shoe socket was completely broken! It is a Canon 5D Mark III This was the piece that fell off the camera. After some research, I realized it goes inside the hot...

Hi, I have a D500 and a 24-70mm 2.8 and trying to take some product shots of pet toys. I'm not a complete novice, but working with light is where I need the most help, and also haven't done much product photography before. I recently bought a basic two-light CFL reflective umbrella setup along...

Hi, I have a D500 and was using my 24-70mm 2.8 and my SB700 last night to take profile pictures. I dialed back the flash output, to between -0.7 and -2.3 but some of the pictures looked like the light was too harsh. (I wish I was better at reviewing the pictures in the field, but can't always...

Hello again : ), Here are the results of my work with my friend Natalia Onyszkiewicz (her 1st time in the front of the camera). As you may guess (or not) - these aren't professional colour gels - I've used the cheapest materials found in the supermarket.

Great condition. Fully functioning. Selling because I am moving to mirrorless system. PayPal accepted only. NIKON SB800 Speedlight. Includes original case, battery pack, stand, filters, diffuser. $220 includes worldwide shipping.

I ordered the AmazonBasics speedlight for $24.00. Pretty darn good as a manual or slave. Glad I ordered it. It works well. Very simple to use. Don't yet know about the battery life yet. My eneloops are for my SB-900, so the AmazonBasics gets my other crappy rechargeable batteries, ha!

Hey! I have this problem that keeps coming up. I am currently taking photos of artwork in studio. All the photos were taken with exact same lighting/camera settings and all photos were batched in lightroom. Why am I getting such different outcomes in exposure/white balance? I have been told...

Hi guys, if you could help me with this, I would be very grateful, thank you. Wanting to take my images to the next level, I looked into softboxes and found this big beauty on ebay for €60. It's Godox 120cm/47", with grid: GODOX 120cm / 47" Octagon Softbox With Honeycomb Grid For Studio Flash...

Hi, Here's couple pitures that we shoot this summer. In video there is few tips for mixing flash to ambient light and theres also technical data of the images. Hope it's useful or fun to someone... At least we have good time to shooting it! YouTube link to BTS-video Best wishes, Ossi Lehtonen

I bought a Canon EOS 80D along with the 430EXIII-RT speedlite but can't get them synced. When I hold the button to auto focus prior to shooting the flash shoots but then when I take the pic it doesn't shoot. Almost like it is providing fill flash. I have checked my settings for using the...

I am trying to use an external flash with a wireless transmitter. The transmitter goes into the hotshoe fine. The issue is that the on-board flash tries to pop up and can't, because the transmitter is in its way. However, this keeps the flash from firing; the flash light (lightening bolt) is...

Hey I was just wondering if there are any tripod heads with a cold shoe mount on the side of it. I want to mount my flash on the top hot shoe but then I have no place to mount my wireless transmitter. The tripod head wouldn't have to be anything fancy either. Or if you guys have any other...

Hi photography enthusiasts, some days ago i transformed my room into a small home studio for taking portrait photos. During the first photo session i noticed that i had to turn the exposure compensation to a minimum (-5.0 until -4.0) on my nikon D5500. I use 2 studio flashes, the flashes (with...
