Solo travel in 30s – Flash Pack or G Adventures? Hi everyone, I’m a 34-year-old female planning a trip to Asia in May 2025, and I’m torn between visiting the Philippines or Vietnam. Initially, I was looking into Flash Pack because they cater to 30-40-somethings, which appeals to me since I’d love to travel with like-minded people who enjoy socialising and connecting. However, I’m struggling to…

Which to get for first flash? Godox DP800III or V1? I’m a bit of an all rounder still as a photographer but have mainly been doing boudoir and fashion shoots. Just looking for something to bring that extra level to my images. Would love to know what people think I should go with and why submitted by /u/jack_ofall

Inconsistent flash power in manual? I’m looking for some help please. I was doing some self portraits with a single off camera flash. I had the flash in manual mode at 1/125th 18mm. I was finding that around 50% of my shots came out perfect but the others were extremely overpowered. I can only think that this is an issue with my flash because nothing was changing between taking ph…

Macro photography with old Nissin Di622 Mark II as off-camera flash possible? I have an R6 Mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8L macro lens that I recently picked up for casual macro use (insects, plants, and a newborn next year). However, I’m starting to run up against issues doing macro shoots without proper lighting, so I’m thinking of getting an external off-camera lighting setup. I have a very old Nissin Di622 Mark II speed…

Which external flash setup should i look at getting as a beginner? I’m looking at getting into using external flash but a bit lost as to where to start . I’m currently using a Godox v1 mounted on the camera (Nikon z6) and I’ll look at getting the x2t trigger. Do I need a particular stand , mount and softbox for compatibility? Is there a certain size that is better to get etc ? Could anyone point me in the right…

Beginner-friendly macro flash? Hello – I do photography as a hobby, and I’ve taken a liking to snapping insects and spiders, among other things. The attached photo of an Asian Lady Beetle was taken with my Pentax K3 and a Sigma 70mm f2.8 Macro lens. For lighting, I took out my cell phone and used its flashlight function, placing the phone on the surface the bug was crawling …

My Godox flash died – what should I replace it with? I had two Godox tt685 speed lights, now I only have one. I need two lights to do the jewelry product photography that I am trying to get into. I’m still trying to build a portfolio for that, so the timing of this is really inconvenient because I feel like I haven’t done enough of this product stuff to really know where/if my current gear falls s…

Problema flash da studio + flash interno Canon 7D? Internet ho bisogno di voi! Hi! This is my first post ever on Reddit, please be gentle. I just can’t find a solution to my problem or figure out where the error is. I have a Canon 7D and a Pro Studio Lightning studio flash, which I connect to the camera via a sync cable. Everything works, the problem is that the external flash only fires if and when the built-in flash is o…

So I followed a few guides to get the rest of the set up; EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens, with 2 x Canon Speedlite 270EX II flashes on an owl style bracket. However I’m having trouble connecting the flashes to the camera wirelessly. I’ve done a bit of searching …

Help With Flash? Hi guys, I’m very new to flash photography. Every few months in London I do a friend’s club night, while I’m very happy with the DJ photos, I can’t seem to get the posed ones of the revelers right. The background is very dark, and while the subjects are sharp, there’s no ambient background light, like your usual purple, blues and reds etc. How d…

Wedding ceremony no windows low light- flash help? I’m shooting a wedding in a community centre with no windows and the bride wants the lights off because they’re the bright fluorescents. She said her DJ is bringing “some lights.” I’ve tried to contact the DJ to see exactly what he’s bringing but I have not used off camera flash ever and I only use flash on camera for ceremonies that have ambien…

Adding Flash to Commercial Sets – Combining Flash with Continuous Light? Hey everyone, I often shoot on commercial sets, mostly alongside film productions. Since clients often want the photos and videos to have a similar look and feel, I usually use the film’s continuous lighting. Unfortunately, even with the continuous light at 100% output, it’s often not bright enough for fast shutter speeds and low ISO settings. T…

Off-camera flash for Canon F1? I own an old Canon F1 and have been wanting to try out a flash unit. Looking into the shoe mount adapters that exist for the F1, I’m not sure I’d like to have the flash mounted to the camera, as it’s already heavy enough as is. If I wanted to use a flash unit like the Vivitar 283 off-camera, would that be a possibility? I know the 283 uses a sy…

What do I need to look for in hot shoe flash attachment? I have a Sony A7III which is flash-less. I am taking pictures indoors at a location I’ve shot at before and the lighting is truly awful and I had complaints from one of the subjects that the photos were too dark. I ordered a cheap flash from amazon and noticed almost immediately that apparently flash’s have to recharge. The flash has a 2.9s cycl…

Does flash height impact diffusion? When using an on-camera flash in combination with an AK diffuser, does the height of the flash impact the diffusion? I am doubting what flash to get, a Meike MK320 or a Godox TT350, both can go as low as 24mm (meike is not adaptable, but from what ive read its at 24mm). I would love to have very “wide” and “even” difussion, does the difference i…

TTL off camera flash recommendations? Hi there, I’m looking for a flash to start off with. I’m a fairly experienced photographer and I’ll be using it mainly for portraits. Budget is maximum 300 USD and has to be compatible with the Canon R6. Has to have TTL and can go off camera as well. If the budget I’ve set doesn’t allow, just let me know submitted by /u/WestDuty9038

Recommendations for small, compact, on-camera flash for Sony (no TTL)? Hey, like the title says, I want a small flash (light, if possible) for my sony A7. I would like it to go to as wide a zoom as possible (at least 24mm, 20mm is better) and TTL is not important. Recycling time is important. I was looking at the Godox TT350s, which is small and light, goes to 24mm, but have read reviews that the recycling time is …
