Is a Speedlight Enough for Flambient Real Estate Photography?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- In this video we look into a question I get asked quite often which is if a speedlight is good enough to use for flambient real estate photography. We are going to put that question to the test in this video in a real life scenario and also compare the speedlight's power to a Godox AD200 Pro strobe.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Great comparison and information As a lifelong Canon Shooter, I finally woke up one day and divorced my Canon Speedlights and began a long term relationship with Godox Flashes. It's the best photography decision I have made. I currently own the AD200 pro, the V860III and the V1 All I can say is wow. My equipment exceeds my ability...but I'm learning daily. The fact that you can flip the flash head 45 degrees behind you for a reverse bounce flash with both the 860III and V1 is priceless. I'm still learning to handle The Power of The AD200pro. I recommend the Godox Accessory Kit also for the 860 and V1
Gday Mike. Thanks for all of your great content over the last couple of years. I've found it a great help. I'm a photographer, videographer, mainly in real estate, like yourself. My wife and I do about 85% of 4703 photography in Australia. I'd like to share with you my experience with the godox flash vs AD200 vs AD600. Firstly, for us; mobility is key. We are very busy. It's quite simple. The speedlights slow you down. They don't fit in your pocket but the flash does. You misplace it at least once per shoot lol... Therefore, for us, we are horses for courses people, and use the speedlights regularly, but only because we are doing big coastal, floor to ceiling window houses too these days. In most other situations, the flash is the way to go. An extra minute in post is worth it almost always. Funnily, the trickiest houses for us are the little quirky 'queenslanders' with many doors on every room and verandahs all round. Traditionally very small but with high ceilings and dark colours. We take in 3 godox's and just multi flash all the doorways to save time. Again, Mike, you're a legend. Cheers!!
Thank you sir! Appreciate your input and for sharing your experience. It’s beneficial for everyone. Thanks!
Hey @louis HOPGOOD
I've been doing photos for a little bit of real estate photography, it seems hard to price, what would you recommend for someone offering similar effort to whats shown in these videos for clients in Aus?
Great video. Love to see how you combined the shots to get the final one picture. Thanks !
I have my indoor ISO at 640. Makes speedlights great. Occasionally I bring out the AD600... like I will tomorrow at a $2m listing with 30ft ceilings haha
I use two Godox TT685 II instead, you can move them around. If one gets damaged it is cheaper to replace it, and for smaller rooms I only use one. However I will try the AD200 for very specific jobs where it might be needed.
Commenting before I've watched the video. I'm new to RE Photography and was just thinking about this very question. I've been really enjoying you videos and appreciate you making them! Alright time to watch
Excellent Comparison Video Mike. Thank You.
Mike, I’ve been following you for a few years. Finally coming on here to give you a shout out. These videos are so thorough. I hope you reach 100,000 subscribers soon!
Thanks so much! 😊
need your help how to merge all those photo become 1 nice photo with the different position of the speedlite?
Thanks for the content!
Question, do you use flash in every single shoot? If not, what the main reason to use one versus brackets? Thank you
Today i shot a dark cafeteria with only one godox speedlight. It was very diffictult to light the whole room. I took like 6 flash pops and somehow managed, but Im still not 100% satisified with the result of the edited photo. When it comes to small rooms one speedlight is enough to light the whole scene.
AD200 for the win!
Great video Mike, thanks for this! Where can I find the handle you have for the AD200 pro?
Found the link in your other video!! :)
I have a AD200 PRO, so a couple questions, I assume flash is set to manual, not TTL, and what should the flash zoom be set at? 20mm? Thanks.
This was very useful! Thanks i
Pure gold!
I think, if u will catch speedlight closer to cieling it has enough power, ad200 is better of course but if u havent enough money to buy it speedlight is ok too. Thanks for the videos < 3 they are very helpful! Keep going.
After my coment i noticed that speedlight hasnt enough power sometimes, in big room situations 😂 what do u think, or im not using it correctly. Thanks
Good stuff bro!
1- When using flash, why not kill all of the ambient light? 2- For the window pulls, why do you use the flash and aim it at the window rather than use the ambient image adjusted for the proper exposure? (Maybe I just need to go back and re-watch the other flambient videos :)
You don’t need to kill all the ambient light. You just need to subdue it enough so that the flash can dominate it. Flashing the window allows you to use darken mode in photoshop to quickly apply a window pull. Just using an ambient image would require masking it in which is more labor intensive and time consuming.
what do you use to shoot remotely on the a7iii?
How do you trigger the shutter when holding the strobe? I have Sony A7III. Wifi connection to camera?
Sony remote commander
Hey Mike! Since your a Sony user I’d like to get your input because I love your results. Would you recommend the A7IV? I couldn’t afford the A7SIII right now so I’m looking for the next best thing that’s capable of hood photo and video quality.
Possibly a silly question but.. I already have 2 Wescott FJ400 strobes. Would these be overkill? Or would they work at half power? They aren't the easiest to carry around but not sure i want to buy another flash after buying this pair of 400's.
Definitely will work! More cumbersome to move around but actually the extra power can come in handy sometimes.
Nice video, Mike. Did you ever compare the output of two identical 860 Speedlights (76 W s each) held together compared to one AD200 (200 W s)?
I haven’t! Could be a good experiment though
Under 50 houses and my AD200 zone/group button quit. The 600 is just too much for everyday use and one speed light is not my favorite. The 200 is so easy to dial back for smaller rooms and great for larger. Dropping 300.00 on another one tomorrow. Beware of the on off switch over use on the 200's. I pop my battery out vs. using the switch
Wow, that’s fast. I’ve replaced them as well. They are a bit fickle!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography on off switch fine zone button and constant light button stopped working . Stinks . Your vids are very helpfull
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Just bought one... Good to know!
You can get the button on/off button fixed yourself fairly easy. There is a video of a man showing how to do it on RUclips. It's quite common problem. I now typically slide my battery out instead using the button. But you can buy the spare part on aliexpress if you want to sort it out properly.
@@lukaszforster the on off button is not the problem, I was simply mentioning it . The group / zone button quit that connects it to the on camera transmitter
Do you think the round head you added to the Ad200 is much better than the standard flash that comes with it for real estate? Thanks.
It’s not a drastic difference but it’s definitely an improvement in my opinion.
Hi Mike, again your videos a great learning tool for me, Ive been shooting HDR method which has been great, however, in darker scenarios its been harder. Also Ive been meaning to shoot HDR Flash with 5 bracketed fotos, seems interesting just a godox speedstick. I do think that its more work, since you cant do the auto HDR method when the flash is in use and you have to manually move 2 steps up and down.
What are your thoughts on this, or would you rather just straight forward just go for flambient? When do you decide to go with regular HDR or Flambient, does it have to do with the type of property or your time/hourly rate?
Thanks again! Great videos, Im a fan.
Thanks! I usually do flambient on higher end and higher budget shoots where I feel it’s worth the extra effort. I think all these methods are valid and effective and I think it just comes down to preference mostly.
Great video question would the ad200 be strong enough for 32 inch soft box I’m looking to up my photography with some off camera flash this year any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
For like portraits? Yeah most definitely
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks so much
Combing the pop shots together for your finished image , was this done in lightroom? Thank you in advance
That’s all done in photoshop. Not much done in Lightroom except sweetening up the final composite image.
Благодарю
Thank you for this, I am about to buy my flash and really had that doubt. Im still in my photography class but were alrady using flash so this comes in very handy. I also work with HDR for my shots, Im assuming this is how you managed to get the shot of the large room whilst standing there? If not please explain how you manage to remove yourself form the final shot.
While blending the flash exposures it’s easy to blend yourself out. If you watch any of my other flambient videos that include editing you’ll see how to do it.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography amazing thanks for your response! Just getting into editing and all this information is mind blowing!
What is you have two speed lights? Would that be enough to light a large room?
Yeah, of course adding more will help and cut down on doing multiple shots if you place them around a room.
