I will first start off and say I and always trying to learn and hone in on my skills. I love to learn new techniques to further my knowledge.
My question is regarding external flash use. I typically shoot av or manual. I understand the relationship between f stop, shutter speed, and iso. I also understand that my flash will light the foreground subject. So when I shoot I keep my flash is ettl mode. The only changes I make is compensating for the output of the flash in the camera.
I really don’t even know if that is correct or not.
Today I started to read about manual and ttl flash shooting but I feel like I am starting to get over my head.
Can you guys share some strategies with me regarding how u shoot with ur external flash.
This trip I really really tried to use my flash more during the day for fill flash also I got some decent results.
I am sorry if this is a very broad question but I thought if I got some input then I can narrow down my questions then.
I also rely heavy on the bounce saucer from demb. This trip I tried to shoot less with it and just kept lowering the output of my flash so the flash was not too intense. The saucer works great but it’s getting to be a pain while in the parks. At home it’s fine. I keep it on cause my camera is out.
Thanks everyone.
