Weird results ? of a Light Meter at High Exposure Time with Flash on the One Step Plus 30-second photos in dark places with an f/64 aperture and flash, with only the flash power adjusted. I suspect I have a problem with wasting film during experiments, as the light meter results in underexposed photos. https://preview.redd.it/nl2u8hh5g5bd1.jpg?width=12534&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6b2eb5e36f0dbecccb63045af7355363d08f71b In my room…

Wedding photographers – How do you use off-camera flash on the dancefloor? Mostly during the first dance, and speeches. I am thinking of setting up an off-camera flash with my Godox V1C though have seen some setups with an umbrella as a diffuser. I have an umbrella and wondering if this will be a good addition, though I am yet to try any of this so would be good to hear from you. submitted by /u/photography27 …

Help with choosing a flash? I am getting into portrait photography and am looking to get my first flash. Eventually I would like to shoot with off-camera lighting so I’m looking at Godox which can be used both on and off camera. I’m seeing ads using the names v860 speedlite and v860 speedshot, we aren’t in the US so maybe it’s just a language issue, or is there a real diff…

Which Speedlite Flash and Trigger option should I go with? 600EX II-RT vs Godox TT685II-C I took a photography course where i was able to rent out a Speedlite 600EX II-RT. I enjoyed it, however the price to buy one is a bit out of my budget. I could get a used Speedlite 600EX II-RT or I was thinking of buying a Godox TT685II-C Flash with a Godox X3 X3C Flash trigger. Any advice on choosing between these? I’m using a Canon R50 (with …

Is my Neewer Z1 on-camera flash bad or is it me? I’m brand new to flash photography. I purchased a Neewer Z1-C last winter after minimal research. I’ve tried both TTL and manual and can barely get it to work. I’ve used it with both my Canon 6D and Canon R6 mark II with the same outcomes, using both cameras in manual mode. I used it once indoors on manual mode for one photo and adjusted the pow…

Does a crack in a flash speedlight affect the flash in anyway? I’m looking to get into flash photography and I know almost nothing about it. Some of the flash devices are like $400-500 that I’m looking at and I found one for more than half off used but it states it is “well used”. When asking about it, it turns out there is a crack in the flash plastic/glass (not sure which it is) but they say it doesn’t af…

Whats better for Sports Photography? Godox MS300-V Studio Flash Monolight (3-Light Kit) $529 or Godox SK400II-V Studio Flash Monolight (3-Light Kit) $699 or Godox DP600IIIV Professional Studio Flash with LED Modeling Lamp (600Ws, 2-Light Kit) $560? HI, I’m looking to buy a light setup to start doing some Sports Photography, (mostly indoor) my question is should I go with the 3 light kit or would a better 2 light kit be best? I have nothing right now, also what are the difference between SK400II (SK300II) and the MS300-V both Godox. Lastly if either is not a good set up what would you recom…

I’m new to Off Camera Flash. Can you give me any advice? I am looking to take my portraits to the next level. I have used off camera flash once using the following below and was not overly pleased with the result compared to using no flash. I aimed for a 45 degree angle using high speed sync flash. I also noticed that shooting at a f/1.4 aperture was extremely soft and blurry, at f/4, it was much shar…

ND Filter with flash. How to compensate? I’m using a 3 stop ND Filter to reduce the amount of light reaching the film so I can open up my lens more for shallower dof. I typically use 160 speed film, and this puts me at 1/500 f/8 iso160 in bright sunny daylight. With a 3 stop ND I can more or less shoot 1/500 at f/2.8. I also use a thyristor flash and that’s where im confusing my self….

Is the flash of my p&s camera dead? I think it’s pretty obvious once you have the context, but I just want to make sure of it. I bought the camera from the picture (Vivitar EF35 from the 80s, perhaps 1982), knowing very little about it, except that it was a 35mm vivitar point and shoot. Came home, decided to try some batteries on it to test the flash, and after 10 seconds approxi…

What handheld flash options do I have? I’m looking for a handheld flash (hold the flash with my left hand, camera in right hand and shoot) for street photography. I currently use a Fujifilm X-T30II and have a Godox TT350F flash. If I buy the X-Pro-F can I use the TT350 as a hand held flash? And are there any other budget options that anyone would recommend? Thanks! submitted by …

Flash for church ceremony? Shooting a church ceremony for the first time and I am hoping I can get some flash advice! (Church allows flash photography) In this instance would regular direct flash be optimal or direct flash with my dome diffuser be better? (I have the Godox V1). I am used to using flash for indoor events when I can have my flash bounce off the ceilings b…

Gone in a Six-Year Flash: Farewell to the New York Phil’s Maestro The pandemic-derailed tenure of Jaap van Zweden, the orchestra’s music director, was too short to give us a full sense of him, as man or maestro.

Is this flash broken? I bought a used Godox X2T(s) off eBay and I see no obvious way to mount it? It makes a rattling noise and after watching some unboxings on YouTube it seems I’m missing a piece that slides on to the camera itself. Is it detachable or am I missing something? submitted by /u/Jormungardr

Which flash can I use? Hi, I don’t know much about flashes but I wonder if I can use any flash on any camera as long as the voltage is okay or are there differences depending on the hot shoes of different brands? I saw some flashes are just for canon, is it true? Or are they universal? I own a Ricoh gr 3 and I wonder if I can use an older cheaper flash that doesn’t ex…

How to compare flash output and recycle times? I currently own and run a Godox V1 on my setup, but I was having a conversation with somebody who mentioned going with the V350 for recycle times. I’m still relatively new to flash photography and I can’t find specs that obviously answer this question. Personally, I went with the top of the line flash they had at the time because they are cheap …
