Learning flash can be a scary thing, but it does not have to be. Once you understand how flash works, it will unlock a multitude of creative opportunities that simply would not be possible when working with only natural light. This great video tutorial will show you one of the most important skills you will need: how to properly set your camera when working with strobes.
Coming to you from Jay P. Morgan with The Slanted Lens, this helpful video tutorial will show you the ins and outs of camera settings when working with strobes. The thing that photographers often struggle with a bit when it comes to this is that the way you balance your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO often differs a bit when working with strobes from how you would set them when working with natural light. Nonetheless, once you get it down, you will quickly appreciate just how creatively freeing it is to not be dependent on the sun! Check out the video above for the full rundown from Morgan.
