Thank you.

Yes, it is challenging with the filter on. One trick is to increase the ISO by about five stops to see anything. Then compose, correct the exposure settings and enjoy.

@@bobanddawndavis I may have gotten one somewhat decent photo of the totality. The rest aren’t great. So frustrating.

Yes! I have done both 600 + 1.4 = 840 and so on. Watch the video and pause where I show the sun disc photographed at many focal lengths. This time I’m all in at 1200mm

I am blessed.

I don't understand the question! The presentation is on Lenses. I was using Aperture LED continuous light with various light modifiers and gels.

I am always hopeful! If you follow the tips I've shared for scanning the space, you can overcome about 60% of the communication issues of signal interference.

Nice to hear from you. I agree with the wireless interference, so I have to use two different flash systems. There is not one perfect system. I have the knowledge and consult with Canon, Westcott, and sometimes Profoto. Getting the engineers to write the firmware that works in the field is challenging! I'm hopeful one of them will.

@@bobanddawndavis canon just released a ST-E3-RT Version 3 transmitter, however nothing shows that this 2.4 gigahertz channel saturation by dynamic router and modern 5G phones was circumvented with an option sub GHZ radio option built in. Any chance you can communicate this possible solution to the canon people? Already on B&H's product page for this new transmitter, folks are asking about this issue...

Yes indeed. This is why I use Pocket Wizards as a backup plan. There is no interference in the 350 megahertz range.

If I do that then all adjustments must be made physically at each flash unit which is hard to do if it's in a modifier or distant from me. Also, all flashes, as I understand it, must be in manual mode except for the flash (if mounted) on the camera on a pass-through trigger.

Sadly that is true. Canon has the means to develop a rock-solid wireless communication system. If Westcott and Profoto can accomplish solid RT communication ☎️ then Canon ought to.

When I got the speedlight radio system in 2012 it was rock solid. I shot it at the same venue for 11 years. For some reason, after like 2019, the radios started disconnecting. Same with my profoto system from a similar generation. If you look at profoto, around the same time they came out with a revamped Air system. Canon made a v2 of their radio as well. I thing something changed in the radio world 5 years ago where, perhaps, some bandwidth was changed to allocate more radio signals or the like. Because I used the same system, in the same venue for over a decade, then suddenly reliability (connection) went out the window.

@@TheVFXbyArt In simple terms, 5g wireless and more 5g phones suppress the 2.4 gigahertz channels of the Canon RT system than back in 2019

Hi Marv, yes, the EL-1 is the same as the 600s, showing a lighting icon next to each connected group to confirm communication. Plus, the green link light. But, sometimes in heavy RF areas, the green link light is a false positive.

@@bobanddawndavis do the little "Lightening" icons stay on even if the flashes are disconnected - or do that give a proper indication of connection failure? Also, do the remotes need to be turned Off and back On to get them to reconnect, or does power cycling the master get the slaves to reconnect?

@@marvheston414@marvheston414 The lightning icon will disappear when the flash loses the connection, unlike the green link light indicator.

Thank you. Maple Lake offers a lot of variety depending on when you are there.

Thank you I am glad to hear that the information was valuable

Thank you. What is your flash system? I know I get excited and I hope my passion comes through. Let me know if I can help or address a specific topic with wireless off-camera flash.

@@bobanddawndavis As a real hobbyist: I was the dad, with young family, in 2003 with an EOS300D. I'm not a complete mug and I did learn the exposure triangle. I have many great shots (family great) but my income was elsewhere, so time and so on. Back into it now I am working my way through how flash interacts way more. I went with Godox on the basis it's cheap enough to not make that much of a mistake and I do not need colour critical (English as you can tell from the spelling). I am happy with gels to correct for CTO, but wonder if I am missing with CTB and green I can address (unlikely I will care). I do want to set up in such a way as to capture a couple of kids running with a Lab dog using flash. HSS is great but I am about to experiment with my variable ND (9 stops) and I have 2 Godox V1s as it stands and a 2.4 trigger. I am aware HSS is a possibly laughable mix in full daylight for my scenario. I may also offer a couple of family type event services (no money changing hands), so am thinking x4 units on manual in a small hall in corners and TTL for the main early evening on camera. I fully appreciate that perhaps a college course might be worthit even at mu age as I am enjoying it. I was away from photography for a while (family / kids sport was my main hobbyist focus for years)...Cheers and obviously just ideas for future vids, maybe:)

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I hope the passion I have for photography & lighting is helpful.

I hope it was helpful. What flash system do you use?

2 canon el1. And 2 profot0 A1. Wildlife is what I enjoy photographing. Use flash on occasion with 100-500mm canon lens on the R3. It’s a hit and miss because of the distance and over come.bright lighting. Thank you for your time. @@bobanddawndavis

Thank you. And indeed U2 is my favorite band. I had the pleasure of spending time with Bono while photographing Selma Hayek’s wedding in Venice. I pinch myself at how blessed our career has been.

What is your flash system of choice?

That's amazing. I dream one day of getting to meet Bono. And, yes, it's amazing where photography can take us. @@bobanddawndavis

Canon. An older model though. I don't use a ton of TTL, but I do shoot a lot of corporate events and the TTL works well enough when I get into occasional low light situations with my R6. For manual off camera stuff I use a Godox AD200 90 percent of the time since it's usually got just enough power and easy to travel with. I've got my eye on upgrading at some point. A little at a time. @@bobanddawndavis

And just saw them last weekend at the Sphere in Vegas. Amazing.@@bobanddawndavis

No, as that would not allow for ETTL which I want to use on-camera.

What is your choice of flash?

The pull string constantly tangles me up

Thank you so much

Thanks, will do!

Thank you for the comments, feel free to share the content. More to come

Yes, there are plenty of images at well over 100 yards. The deer leaping, & the shot-eared owls 🦉. The moon. Facebook used its compression, which is unavoidable.

Hello, thank you for the invitation. I would be open to your offer, email me at bob@bobanddawndavis.com so I can learn more about you and your channel

I have not experienced this with either one of the two EOS R3s, but I did notice the RF1.4x I had to push in the locking pin to make sure it was seated and locked! I always check to make sure the lock pin is in place! I have had the challenge with EF extenders and having them repaired at @canonusa CPS!

Indeed!!!

Thank you, more to come.

Hi Stan, I hope you and your family are doing well and enjoyed the holidays.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. Feel free to share our channel

Hello, thank you for your kind words. The color temperature and brightness settings are in the sub-menu personal functions.

@@bobanddawndavis thanks,I will miss you as I will be there a week later,appreciate your response.

You are welcome

Thank you.

I have not updated to the new firmware.

@@bobanddawndavis The flash appears to function fine, just has this strange pulsing in the screen. Kind of annoying and afraid to update other EL-1 I have. Thought someone else on here could chime in.

Call Canon Techical support they would be able to help you.

@@bobanddawndavis There was nothing they could walk me through and told me to ship it to one of the service centers.

Thank you

The kids are thriving, thank you for asking. They are pursuing their life’s journey. It's a joy to see them enjoying life. Dawn is doing great! Although we both when they were pre-teens and thought we were the bomb.

Thank you.

Thank you
