In this week’s episode Mark answers the question, “Why are you using a flash when shooting outside in bright sunlight?”

@Uscbryan949 Change your FP to Auto FP for high-speed sync.
When you are using the on camera flash during your last shoot, the flash looks very hard, is there anyway to make the light softer?
lol I like it
@djadudeguy ISO 100, kit lenses, AV mode 5.6f
@snapfactory can you do 1/4000 sync speed with Speedlite 430EX II or just with 580EX II?
Hi Mark, could you please show us a non expensive and easy method to calibrate pc screens?
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Silvio from Italy.
@notforever123 What settings on camera are you using? What’s your ISO setting?
I have tried to take a picture like mark at 5:49 with the popup flash and everything is very bright, I have tried at diferent distances but I have the same result, super bright image, I have a 600D what am I doing wrong?
Great video’s Mark. Could you let me know what mode you use the flash in? Manual or E-TTL?
@Uscbryan949 nikons do it better since you don’t see any curtains at max sync speed unlike canon with which you need to use around 160. nad yeah 250 is enough, just use higher aperture.
@TheDx917 duh, why would anyone wanna photograph something ugly?
Funny, all the models always have odd names. BTW the d7000 has a 1/250 sync. But still not fast enough outdoors in bright light
Great video Mark. I resisted flash for awhile because I always read to use available light. Now I say screw available light. Flash does so much better. I use it every chance I get. Just learn to use it in manual and you can do some amazing stuff. Get into filters and you don’t even need the sun anymore. You can make your own sun.
just great…i have become additive to such neat ‘classes’. Yopu said you used it on Av @100 ISO but I do wonder what were the speeds on the shots (you did used a tripod).I’m on the 3:35 mark…lol..let me finish…might the answer come ahead…lol…O What lens was used first and which one after 6:36….
Great video Mark,
Nikon user, I understand how to underexpose the background in manual mode but how do you adjust for the flash exposure in manual mode, and why do you use TLL and not TLLBL mode on the flash outdoors.
Two questions: will you always use the flash at direct angle on the subject, like you did on the video?
And also, would you ever change the flash strenght to adjust the proper flash power directed to the subject? Like to help diminish the “flash appearance” sometimes the subject gets?
@salsero206 I’d touch her too… lol joke
Love these videos. I have one question though. Is that the girl from Juno?
very good tip
Mark, I look at strobes at adorama. For decent low budget strobes which would you suggest?So of these are confusing and expensive! Thanx mark great stuff from a future strobist.
Just love. Thank you for the videos, I enjoy it a lot.
