Are you not as comfortable using speedlights as you’d like to be? In this workshop, we’ll take the second-guessing out of these sometimes confusing flash units and learn how to approach their use in several situational examples. Through in-class shooting exercises, we’ll see the difference between working with flash inside and outside as the primary and secondary light source.
Main topics we will cover:
- Understanding the terminology – sync speed, curtain sync, i-TTL/ETTL, and more
- Speedlight as the primary light source
- Speedlight as the secondary light source (fill)
- Working with an off-camera speedlight
- Working with multiple speedlights
- Thinking creatively – overpowering the sun, using modifiers, and more
Prerequisites: Intermediate to advanced DSLR understanding, beginner to intermediate speedlight understanding
Class requirements: notebook & pen, Nikon or Canon DSLR w/memory card and lens(es), minimum of 1 Nikon or Canon speedlight, extra AA batteries for speedlight(s)
