Using Flash under Tungsten Lighting?

( www.reddit.com )

Using Flash under Tungsten Lighting? Hi guys! Im relatively new to film photography and will soon be getting a Px flash to use with my Minolta x700. Now, I’m aware that tungsten-specific films (800T) should be used to balance the light from tungsten lighting, but what I’m not sure about is – does LED lighting then appear the same as usual on tungsten film, or is that then unbalance…

Help with Pentax 90mm f2.8 Leaf Shutter Lens Flash Sync Issue?

( www.reddit.com )

Help with Pentax 90mm f2.8 Leaf Shutter Lens Flash Sync Issue? I recently got myself a Pentax 90mm f2.8 leaf shutter lens in good working condition—except for one frustrating issue: the flash port on the lens doesn’t work. This is a major drawback for me since I want to use flash at sync speeds above 1/30s. So far, I’ve contacted at least six different repair shops, but none of them can fix this specific le…

I want to use speedlights to light up a fast moving subject, and to use the lens’ 1/800 max shutter speed in order to cut down on ambient light as much as possible. I don’t need TTL metering. Which wireless flash triggering system is going to have the…

Recommend a studio flash with a powerful modelling light? I need a studio flash that includes a powerful modelling light. I need it to have bowens mount and optical slave triggering, and ideally I should be able to adjust the settings with a remote or an app (the slash will be mounting high up over the subject, so making adjustments would be a pain) Any recommendations? submitted by /u/Methbot9…

Color Meters & Measuring Temperature to Match Flash – Do You Do It? Hey there. I am okay at flash but not special. I see the (obvious) value in using CTO to match the color of ambient/artificial light indoors. How many people actually measure the temperature with a ‘color meter’ of some kind so you can actually get a perfect match? I know tungsten is 3200k or whatever so a Full CTO is good. But is it really THAT…
