flash

I have a Minolta x-700 that came with a Vivitar 550FD flash that isn’t being triggered. I’ve been asked to take photos for a friends event next weekend. While typically my photos are daytime/outdoors, she wants film photos (indoor and evening) for the event. I’d like to use the flash as I...

Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox (135cm / 53") in great condition. Comes with both inner and outter diffuser and carrying pouch/bag. This octa costs $300 new without any speedring. I am including a Bowens mount with this sale....already installed.

Very friendly and curious. Let me close. Looks young.

Hey all, My gear is about 10 years out of date and I've been considering upgrading. I currently shoot Nikon D300s, I have a Nikon Flash, a yongnuo flash, and yongnuo triggers to run the system. I would have thought that by now Nikon would have: a) A body to trigger Nikon flashes WITHOUT the...

I have a D500 with a 24-70mm, an SB700 plus a YONGNUO YN560 IV speedlight on a small tripod for fill lighting against a white backdrop, and trying to create a basic headshot. The YONGNUO flash is set as a slave to trigger on the SB700 flash. The SB700 is set to 1/2, although I've tried many...

Here's a question about managing flash in a very bright window setting. We are used to continuous light in film and video. When we have a super bright background like a bank of windows with subjects in the foreground, we usually ND the windows and then light the foreground to get the right...

Getting out of studio work. Flash functions perfectly and has newly-replaced modeling bulb. Pickup in MD/DE/NJ/SouthEastern PA, or buyer pays shipping from DE. $400 obo. Best, Mark

Hey guys, so I own a canon speedlite 430ex, and was at first trying it in the camera hotshoe in TTL. it worked fine, but soon I wanted to get it of camera to light subjects from a different angle. to fire the flash I use a hahnel captur. with the trigger the flash cannot work in TTL, so it...

I HAVE USED THESE DYNALITE ELECTRONIC FLASH UNITS ON LOCATION AND IN-STUDIO SUCCESSFULLY FOR MANY YEARS. START YOUR OWN STUDIO OR ADD TO WHAT YOU HAVE. THREE (3) of the 6 are FAN-COOLED! Each tested to work. Modeling lamps included. Extension cable for each. Sync cord for battery included. Light...

im using canon t31 and sunpack digiflash 3000. when i take pictures with my external flash, i sometimes get images that are to dark even though the flash was fired at the time the photo was taken. so i tried this, i took photos with different shutter speeds. I was shooting manual for all photos...

I hope I'm in the right section for this.... I have a Nikon d5100 and just bought a SB600 speedlight. I want to have an off camera setup but not sure if they're compatible with my camera. I'm looking at these...

Hi I'm new here. I tried to google a bit, but google doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm looking for flash system that I can use on multiple camera brands. I've noticed in my research lots are limited to certain brand. I want the system to be Useable on location/Accu/Battery Accessory friendly...

Hi! I wanted to continue another thread of mine that went bit oftopic (from lens to flash). I want to buy my first flash, I have read so much about the sb700 and 910 , I don't know what to choose! I can basicly get them for the same money (used, around 200eur). So, money is not the problem. The...

Hi guys! My gear is the following: Sony a73 (Camera) + Godox TT685S (Speedlight) + Godox XProS TTL (Wireless flash trigger) I use flash in my portrait photography all the time. In dark environment, sometimes the flash output is too strong, even at minimal power (1/256), and my subject is...

Heya! So I was asked if I'm willing to shoot some portraits and groups shots of people from a local gym, they basically want to refresh their site but keep the same feeling of the photos they have now. That means I have to shoot with studio lights, and I haven't done that since high school. I...

Hello, I am looking for a flash like the Vivitar 283 circa 1980 that does two things: 1. senses light reflectance and exposures accordingly 2. does not sense reflectance but dumps a full charge that has the same large luminance every time. Useful for painting with light. Can't remember what...

Apologies if it isn't entirely in the spirit of the forum to be seeking a cheap camera with basic capabilities! To explain, I generally use film for more 'creative' photography, but a digital camera can of course be useful in many situations. I have a compact Kodak camera that's sometimes OK ...

Hi folks, first post... I currently have a D90 and have decided to upgrade to a D7200 I know it isn't the best but it is there best I can afford, used, and it's a big improvement on the D90, not that that is bad in the first place. I know basically nothing about flash photography, over and...

I have been looking around to find a solution to my problem. I have not been able to find any information on any Canon camera that has been of any use. I'm asking here to see if anyone can give some ideas as to my problem. I am also very new to photography. I have only been shooting film for the...

Hi! I’m in the market to buy a ring light but I don’t know much about them. All I know is that the internet is flooded with very cheap ones to try and attract wannabe vloggers. I’m very into fashion photography and portraits. What am I looking for when buying one? How does the diameter size...

Hey guys! I'm testing out the remote setting on my SB-700 with my Nikon D-7100. I have the flash and camera on the same channel and the flash goes off remotely just fine, but for some reason the shutter doesn't take the photo at the same time as the flash. The flash will go off, but my photos...

Ok, so here's the deal. I've been tasked at my staff retreat this year to photograph the group of about 35 people indoor in an extremely poorly lit environment. I have one speedlight; an Altura AP-C1001 ETTL that I rarely use because I don't take many portraits (of humans) and I tend to stick...

My brother plans to get a used SX230, and I do know that flash pops up automatically on every startup, and that it lowers down on every shutdown. However... 1. If you let it pop up, and select "Flash Off" option among the flash settings, will it stay off even when it pops up on the next...

Hello, New to the site. I shoot with a Canon 6D and I have been using a Yongnuo YN685 flash and YN622C-TX controller and I love them. Arriving tomorrow is a Flashpoint Xplor 600 and R2 controller and I am wondering are the two flashes compatible with one controller??? Or do I need to purchase a...

Hi, I have a D500 with a 24-70mm and just got a Flashpoint XPLOR 600 with an 38" parapop and a Sekonic L-308S-U Flashmate. I was doing some testing with a subject to try and create some basic profile pictures. Is there any expectation to be able to use this combination outdoors, during the day...

Exactly what the title says. Looking for something better than the default flash but still portable. All existing listings for this are a bit expensive so if anyone has one they're willing to sell for cheap, I'd be more than happy to take it off their hands!

I have a D7200 and also several old manual Sunpak hot shoe flashes (before they were called speedlites). I use them with a flash trigger and it works fine as long as I am NOT in manual mode on the camera???? It works (fires the flashes) in A, S, P and even in Custom modes (U1 & U2), but in M the...

US copyright law says the photographer retains the copyright to the images, but what makes someone "the photographer" of a given photo? I didn't press the shutter button for my profile pic for this forum, one of the models did. But I was directing the shoot. In the photography world, people...

Hi guys! So, I have a Yongnuo RF-603 wireless flash shutter trigger and I don't understand how to make it work. I'm using it with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon Flash SB 700. The RF 603 goes on and off, aparently works, but when I put it on my camera it doesn't make the flash work. I followed the...

The other day I noticed something fall off my camera when I picked it up and with closer inspection I realized that my camera's hot shoe socket was completely broken! It is a Canon 5D Mark III This was the piece that fell off the camera. After some research, I realized it goes inside the hot...

Hi, I have a D500 and a 24-70mm 2.8 and trying to take some product shots of pet toys. I'm not a complete novice, but working with light is where I need the most help, and also haven't done much product photography before. I recently bought a basic two-light CFL reflective umbrella setup along...

Hi, I have a D500 and was using my 24-70mm 2.8 and my SB700 last night to take profile pictures. I dialed back the flash output, to between -0.7 and -2.3 but some of the pictures looked like the light was too harsh. (I wish I was better at reviewing the pictures in the field, but can't always...

Hello again : ), Here are the results of my work with my friend Natalia Onyszkiewicz (her 1st time in the front of the camera). As you may guess (or not) - these aren't professional colour gels - I've used the cheapest materials found in the supermarket.

Great condition. Fully functioning. Selling because I am moving to mirrorless system. PayPal accepted only. NIKON SB800 Speedlight. Includes original case, battery pack, stand, filters, diffuser. $220 includes worldwide shipping.

I ordered the AmazonBasics speedlight for $24.00. Pretty darn good as a manual or slave. Glad I ordered it. It works well. Very simple to use. Don't yet know about the battery life yet. My eneloops are for my SB-900, so the AmazonBasics gets my other crappy rechargeable batteries, ha!

Hey! I have this problem that keeps coming up. I am currently taking photos of artwork in studio. All the photos were taken with exact same lighting/camera settings and all photos were batched in lightroom. Why am I getting such different outcomes in exposure/white balance? I have been told...

Hi guys, if you could help me with this, I would be very grateful, thank you. Wanting to take my images to the next level, I looked into softboxes and found this big beauty on ebay for €60. It's Godox 120cm/47", with grid: GODOX 120cm / 47" Octagon Softbox With Honeycomb Grid For Studio Flash...

Hi, Here's couple pitures that we shoot this summer. In video there is few tips for mixing flash to ambient light and theres also technical data of the images. Hope it's useful or fun to someone... At least we have good time to shooting it! YouTube link to BTS-video Best wishes, Ossi Lehtonen
