I love it. One thing that discourages a lot of photographers, like myself, is how to overcome the elements--nothing is worse than seeing an absolute stunning subject but not be able to capture what you envision in your mind and see with the naked eye. Your explanation and use of equipment, such as the grid on the light box, really shows how to overcome those nuances that spoil good shots. Thanks for sharing your talent and experience!
Thanks so much, glad that you found it helpful. You’re absolutely right, it can be so frustrating when you’re not sure what it going wrong when you’re trying to capture a scene in front of you but it’s not looking the same on camera. Hopefully some of these tips will help 😊
Hannah thank you so much. Excellent video concise straight to the point possibly the best video on here explaining this! Brilliant now a follower thank you so much!
Great video, Hannah. Really good explanation of high speed sync and exactly how to use it for some beautiful portraits. I hope you and your family are well and staying safe and healthy.
Wow! What a great tutorial! I was watching another photographer using a similar technique. You cemented what I learned and probally in my opinion the best tutorial ever. I am using less expensive equipment than you! But getting decent shots!! Thank you so much....
Thanks for explaining this so well! Can I get your advice, I’m an amateur and I have a Sony a6400 and I’m trying to get a good off camera flash and a parabolic box. And advice?
Great information in these two examples; however, I have a question as to setting the exposure. How did you arrive at 1250 for the shutter speed? Thanks!
Thank you John! I set my aperture first, then I used the Live View feature on my Sony camera to adjust the shutter speed until the exposure in the sky was were I wanted it to be.
Hello. a question the Newwer 565EX flash has that option to put high speed? or the problem is my Nikon d3100 camera. ? what can i do in this bucket to be able to take pictures with high speed ? thank you.
Hi Edna, I have not used the Neewer 565EX so I can't give my opinion about it. The Nikon D3100 should be capable and good enough. Can you explain what type of photo and what you want to achieve? Hannah
Hi Moandy, The light in the 2x3 Softbox in the back is the Profoto B10 flash that also has an LED modelling light. In the photograph you will see the effect of the flash light from the B10.
Great explanation and nice demonstration. I enjoyed the video. I also liked the intro logo effect. Looks very stylish and adds a feel of luxury branding.
I just watched this video + the one called "Freezing Movement With Flash". They were both extremely helpful in order to understand flash in generel and high speed sync in particular. I really, really hope you will share more walk throughs of your flash work like these. Thanks you for sharing 🫶
Thank you so much. I am so glad that you found it helpful. I remember some of these techniques were a little confusing for me when I was learning so I have just tried to explain them as simply as I could. I will try and do more of these as we go on :)
Thanks for this. I was unsure where you were going to wind up with the shoot with Tom but it turned out great. Multiple uses indeed. I'm using High Speed Sync more often now myself.
Thank you so much, yeah it was unfortunate that we didn't have a more interesting sky but the point was the same. Glad you found it helpful, HSS definitely has its uses! :)
Is it possible to use HSS to freeze movement? Or...The many bursts will register many diffrent positions of subject? Think of a hummingbird for example. Without flash you freeze the wings at 1/1600 , with 1/200 flash synch the wings will look blurred.
Hi Leo! In HSS the flash pulsates to maintain a continous high output, and basically acts like a constant light. This way you can use a high shutterspeed on your camera to freeze movement. In scenarios where constant light will impact your photo, such as the sun when taking photos of hummingbirds outdoors, this HSS technology will be useful. Because when you put the flash into HSS mode you will basically have two constant light sources (the sun and the flash in HSS) so you can freeze the movement of the bird with the shutterspeed of your camera. If you are in a controlled area (such as a photo studio) where you can shut out all constant light sources, and only use short burst of flash to freeze the movement, the shutterspeed on the camera can stay under the flash sync because no other light source will impact the image other then the flash. At power level 2 (1-10) on a Profoto B10 in freeze mode, you will have the shortest duration of light, and freeze the subject with the duration and exposure of the flash at 1/50000 of a second during the time your camera curtains is open and exposing the sensor for the flash at 1/200 of a second. Hope that was helpful =]
@@HannahCouzensPhotography Thanks Hannah! I asked because a video other than yours in wich a guy makes an HSS experience using a fan propeller and the resulting image was somehow soightly blurred.Acoording to the author it was because the several flash bursts registered slightly differente propeller positions.
@@leomaluf6426 Haven't seen the test Leo, so I'm not sure what type of brand the flash and camera is nor what settings is being used in that test. But the technique of the mechanical shutter travelling over the sensor is probably what is limiting the ability to stop the motion properly. If you had a global sensor readout that could sync with the flash you would probably get better results. Hard to say what causes the stroboscopic effect. I would need to see the test.
Why do I still get that black bar even in high speed sync? It's driving me nuts for like an hour I've been trying to figure out what the issue is. At 1/250 I get a black line even though I can see high speed sync is on my receiver and my ad200 has the high speed sync symbol activated but still I can't shoot above 1/200
@@Br8kz It might be a firmware issue between the Canon Camera and the Godox light. The Canon R8 max sync speed before going into HSS is 1/200, so camera is in HSS at 1/250, but flash might not be judging by what you are writing. Hope that helps.
Great information. I use my Godox flashes with HSS and am not excited with I get to 1/1000 or faster, the flash output is really low. I would assume the Profoto is much stronger. You get what you pay for I guess.
Ah that's a shame. Well I guess it comes down to the power of your light in general rather than the brand because HSS definitely uses a lot more power! That said, I found Profoto's capabilities in HSS to be the best overall (I've shot with many different brands over the years) so that is what ultimately made my decision. Might be worth renting something to see if it makes a difference for you? I guess then you can decide if it's worth an upgrade. Good luck!
With that grid on the kicker light you could have tilted it downward to illuminate his suit, effectively what kicker lights are used for, not just his neck.
Yep, if you look at the photo with just the kicker light you will see that the back of the suit and the hat is illuminated. It appears brighter on the neck due to the fact that the skin is more reflective than the wool jacket.
Hi Hippo Pictures! HSS is often used as a tool to shoot with a wide open aperture in places were you need to shut out the ambient light inside or outside =]
Hannah. I have a sony a7IV and a godox ad200 pro. I already set both my trigger and my flash for HSS and I am still getting banding when using shutter speeds higher than 1/250. Please help
Hi. I'm not sure how the ad200 pro works. But it sounds like the sync between camera and flash is not working. Maybe the flash needs to go into a HSS mode to make it pulsate and act like a constant light as you enter shutter speeds above the sync speed on your camera? Hope that helps =]
Very helpful, thanks. Are you always using TTL in this type of situation? I have noticed many photographers use the manual mode on the flash and that’s a bit tricky for an amateur like me 🙂
Hi Sylvain. The first shot I take I use TTL, then I switch to manual and adjust from there if needs be. The Profoto system remembers your TTL shot settings and keeps the flash at the same power when I switch to manual. Hope this helps =]
@@HannahCouzensPhotography Thanks for the follow up. I don't think my Godox flashes have that feature. Should we understand that you then never "stay" on TTL for the entire pose/setup?
Hi Ryan! When using HSS the flash uses a lot of power to maintain a high output over a longer period of time which leads to a longer recycle time. So you are probably not doing anything wrong.
Great explaination of high speed sync. Do you use ND filter in some cases when shooting flash photography? I prefer ND filter since I lose alot of light output when shooting in high speed sync. At f.1,4 in bright daylight a 6 stop ND filter get me at 1/200 shutter and a stronger flash that can help overpower the sun. Ofcourse I could brunt a bigger and stronger flash, but having a light backpacka is also appreciated. High speed sync loses power and some flashes overheat after a while too. What is your ecperience of that?
Hi Jörgen! That is a great alternative. To maintain the power output of the flash, save battery and get it down to f/1.4 if you are pushing the limits in HSS on both output power and battery. However I tend to use the high speed sync option or stop down the aperture on location shots, as I'm not a big fan of shooting through ND filters =]
@@HannahCouzensPhotography Yea, I have tried to use HSS with speedlites and tend to get more frustrated than its worth. I'm going to have to splurge for the nicer more powerful lights!
