Can't believe you gave this away for free! What an absolute legend!
Very nice course
This is really an amazing video series, truly one of the best ❤️
Great job Ed!!! I've been photographing for some odd years now and never was a fan of flash photography. You changed that. Your information and tips are so insightful and easy to follow that I had to grab my camera and flash half way through the video just to experiment. Granted, I'm using a 27 year old Vivitar 283, but it's what I have for now and your video has helped me tremendously. I'm excited about flash photography and never thought I could be. Thank you. On to module 2 😁👍
Excellent videos my friend, you covered everything!
Very informative video, we'll presented allowing beginners to take great shots, well done sir (retired wedding photographer)
Best … flash … photography … video … ever. This is exactly what I needed when I started getting into flash photography a year ago. Unfortunately, I never did find a video that met my needs and I had to learn mostly through trial and error. Still, in this video, you offer a lot of useful tips I never thought of. Thank you!
Thank you
very nice, good teaching.
Your a great instructor, thanks.
You are a genius! Thank you so so so so much for sharing your knowledge
well done, bravo !!!
Nicely explained, very much useful for the beginners. Keep going, my wishes.
Holy sh$# these videos are good. This is a college level course without all the BS. Bravo sir! Bravo!
Very good basic but comprehensive tutorial. All in a nutshell. Exactly the information I needed to refresh my notions about flash. Well organized materials. Dictated in clearly pronounced “New York” english. Two thumbs up! Subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the kind help you have given me with this excellent Flash Photography Course. Best wishes for a successful and healthy new year.
Instant sub.
Thanks man!!💖
Thank you for this 4 videos!
New sub here 😉
Awesome Ed.. great video.. thanks for the info… 🙂
Fantastic Ed
We learned a lot today. Thank you for sharing.
This is all you need to know Great tutorial Ed.
Nice Clip. Good Work.
This is so so so much informative for someone like me who is just getting into portraits photography and is on budget and wants to get professional results using only small speedlites. Thank You so much sir for such a great tutorial. Learned alot from this today.
Edit –
I really hope this video gets a million views and I am eagerly waiting for part 2 and all the rest of the parts.
Concise instruction, effective teaching, easily the most helpful treatment of this subject on YouTube to date. Live long and prosper.
That was great! Thanks so much! New subscriber.
Ed, you are giving away what others are charging hundreds for. Thanks, and a very Happy New Year!
Great video, especially for someone who recently bought a speedlight. I’m practicing your method of using TTL with manual camera settings. So far, so good. One question I have is can I change the ISO setting to brighten or darken the ambient light instead of the shutter speed?
Thanks for the helpful series of videos.
Please Enplane how to use Flash in Group Photo-shoot in case of 15 to 20 heads..!
Ed, You are a natural instructor. You provide clear and methodical explanation, realistic solutions to common issues, and provide extensive information with lots good visual examples. I have learned a lot from your channel particularly debunking myths of flash photography. I love this video and look forward to the rest of the series. Thank you for insight and effort.
Really well explained Ed. Thanks for putting these up.
Don't know if there is a problem, but none of the 4 course modules are showing up in my subscriptions list.
This new video series you are doing is great. Thanks for making this content!
Ed, this is a great explanation. Good job! Thanks a lot.
You’ve done it again! Another instructional masterpiece! Every thing was perfectly explained with wonderful examples. You don’t have to spend a fortune for any strobes, either mono blocs or speedlights to get everything you need. My only 'problem' is having to manually adjust my monos, but I can take my time and set up one light at a time as I mainly shoot still life and corporate headshots for the charity I’m involved with. I also have a friend who helps me. They were cheap and have lasted me about 4 years up to now, and no one has ever said to me "I can tell you use cheap lights”. If I need HSS, ETTL, FCS, RCS, Multi or a flash with a t1 duration of 1/8000 (I’ve never needed it even for pouring drinks shots) I have my speedlights.
There are some very inexpensive speedlight modifiers like Selens usually give good quality. I think MagMod etc are overpriced for most people’s needs, but the cheapest, especially filters, can give strange anomalies.
You are a great photographer, far better than I could hope to be, but you are an exceptional instructor and educator. There are people on YouTube who don’t have a tenth of your knowledge and talent charging for less than you have given for free today. Jay P Morgan from Slanted Lens has also done a great free course on light, but that’s more about the cube, cylinder and ball approach and understanding the theory of light.
May I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a brilliant 2019. Most of all though thank you for all your brilliant, informative, thought provoking videos over the last year. Your channel is pure photography all about the image which is quite refreshing at times. And thank you for replying to so many of my over long comments!
