flash

Hi there everyone, I'm currently looking for the smallest possible flash with the least possible weight, to be able to hold in my left hand for fill-flash in the evening. But for fill-flash during daytime, I really need it to be HSS enabled. I've tried Meike 320 for Nikon, unfortunately it...

I bought the Yongnuo Speedlite YN560-II recently as my first ever external speedlite. Due to being inexperienced and not doing my research properly, I find that my Canon 5D Mark III doesn’t register this speedlite in the way I expected (my mistake). It is manual only, non-TTL. The flash fires...

I am trying to use my SB-910, Nikon D750 & two studio lights on slave mode. I want just the studio lights to flash and not the SB-910. I have tried a couple different settings and can't seem to get the right combo! So I kind of just want the SB-910 to be the commander. Thanks

Hi. What is the best low budget flash for nikon D5200? Is Yongnuo YN-568EX compatible with nikon d5200? Thanks :)

Hi. I am planning to buy one YN560 III. In fact this page helped me making the decision: Speedlight Flash Buyer's Guide - Improve Photography However, in the same page, I see that this camera lacks High speed synch option. I don't understand this. When will I desperately need high speed synch...

My YN568EX speedlights are emitting three quick flashes when I press down on the shutter before the shutter finally activates. I can't figure out why or if I'm stuck in some mode I can't get out of. This happens regardless of them being in the hotshoe or triggered remotely. Any help would be...

I'm going to buy a mounted flash for my Chinon CE-4 film camera, and I was wondering if there's any specific flash I should be looking for? I'm looking at some on ebay currently but I want to make sure they will work for my camera when I get them.

hello everybody. Recently i build home studio and the only thing missing is the strobe flash kit. I have a 2600$ budget and i have 2 choices now. the first one is to stay shooting with my Canon 600d and get a hensel integra mini flash kit ( a 300w/s and a 600w/s) which is priced 1650$ here in...

Hello everyone I need a flash for my A7rii and I'm not sure wether I should buy the HVL-F43M or the HVL-F32M. The only thing that's keeping me from buying the 32 instead of the 43 is the Quick Shift Bounce feature. I heard it's a good feature if you shoot a lot in Portrait mode. Unfortunately...

I've just finished a test of two small portable light modifiers for my blog and wanted to share the images I got. Constructive comments and critiques are welcome. The modifiers used are quite small and portable: The first two images are with 30 cm (12") Octabox. The second two are with...

Hello - new guy here and would like some feedback on a portrait composition I made. All constructive feedback is welcome. Thanks to everybody in advance for taking the time to comment.

I had an engagement shoot last night in 20 degree weather and attempted to use my OCF to get some really cool shots in the snow. It only worked for about 5-10 shots in the beginning total. When I was practicing at home (in my warm condo) it worked perfectly....then I get out there and failed...

I am looking to improve my inside shots, so I've decided to look into buying some sort of lighting. I have a Canon 50D with various lenses (fixed: 24mm and 50mm -- and then the default one that came with the camera). I'd like to take some product shots and other various people shots inside...

Hey all! I'm going to show you how to diffuse your pop up flash for FREE and get professional photos without having to purchase a off camera flash.What inspired me to make this video was the sony a7000 camera i loved everything about my new nikon d5500 except that the flash doesn't rotate to...

I have two 600ex-rt's and the ST-E3-RT trigger. I want to add a different light to my setup with more power (specifically the Flashpoint Streaklight 360) and I was curious if the ST-E3-RT would fire a light other than the Canon 600ex if the light had a radio receiver on it. Now I know it wont...

Hello - Flash gels are something new for me but I've realized their benefit and need some insight from more experienced users. I do not use flash for every shot....I use a reflector when I can but there are often times I can't reflect light and need the speed light for fill. I shoot raw and use...

Hey, I've been trying to setup an off-camera flash with my Altura speedlight (full kit with remote and trigger), but I can't find the settings on my Nikon D3300 to make it the "commander." I've attached the trigger to the hotshoe of my camera, and I've attached the remote to my speedlight. But...

We all know the product and the reputation, so there's not really any point in listing specs, because if you don't already know them, they're easy as heck to find. I'll speak specifically about this strobe. I used this strobe pretty regularly as part of a 4 strobe setup. It's time to upgrade...

I am setting up a small product photography studio from home and been doing some investigation on lighting requirements. Some photographers swear by using mostly flashes. I've seen some pretty nice photos using 4 flashes and some white board to bounce light off of. Some photographers swear by...

I have a Canon T3 and need to rent a flash (from Henry's) that will work best with it. It's been 20+ years since I had an Olympus with a 'dedicated flash' and being new to DSLR's I want to be sure to get the right model. Any help greatly appreciated.
