 WIRELESS AND OFF-CAMERA FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY FOR BEGINNERS
Aimed at those who want to more interesting flash lighting from their flashguns
Interesting photography is all about shadows. Shadows help show 3 dimensions, shadows give mood. The main problem with direct flash from you cameras hot shoe is that it gives none of these.
This course will show you how to get much more interesting flash shots by taking the flash off the camera and firing it either through a cable or using a wireless system.
The course will also cover how to mix flash with ambient light as well as how to kill ambient light even in the day time using manual controls.
Please note that this is not a studio flash course, it is solely aimed at external dedicated flash guns.
What flash guns are suitable for this course?
All dedicated flash guns are suitable for this course. This includes Nikon SB600, SB700, SB800 and SB900; Canon 430EX and EX II, 580 EX and EX II along with the dedicated flash guns from Olympus, Sony and Panasonic. It also covers third party dedicated flash guns from the likes of Metz, Sigma and Nissin.
