This video literally just changed my life. Understanding how the shutter and the f-stop control the exposure for ambient light and flash respectively is invaluable. Thank you, Mr. Wallace!
WHOA!...this video is amazing...if you want your video over exposed, photos over exposed and to learn all the keys to not doing anything correctly! YES!
8:39 "...but the exposure on [Jade] is staying exactly the same..." Except... it's doesn't, hahah Full appreciation for the fact that this video was made in 2011, but as of 2012 (at least, if not sooner) Nikon also allows you to use exposure compensation on the ambient light independently from the subject exposure. (Yes, I'm a Nikon D600 owner, and no, I'm not flaming: just pointing out that things may have changed since this video was made.) Still, great video, phenomenal model talent, and as always very pleased to watch all your videos.
Actually, he did it wrong. Exposure compensation on a Canon affects the entire exposure (ambient and flash). To bump up exposure on the background and keep the flash correct he needed to add 1 stop of EC and select - 1 stop flash compensation. One thing he demonstrated that I've said for years is that Canon's fill flash is vastly superior to Nikon's. The neutral settings fill flash (no exposure compensation or flash compensation) on the Nikon was ridiculously overexposed. The model was 2 stops overexposed! On the Canon it was perfect. When he ran through the Canon's flash compensation and reached +2 stops and you could clearly see the model was way overexposed - that was how the Nikon shot appeared without compensation. It has always been this way since the film days. I used to do weddings as a team with a Nikon shooter and he was always getting overexposed fill flash and it drove me nuts.
cooloox You're very right. That Nikon flash shot was way overexposed yet he called it a "great exposure." And when he toggled the regular EC the flash exposure quite obviously changed with the ambient exposure though he said it stayed the same. He used the same explanation that he used for the flash exposure compensation for the normal exposure compensation.
I must be old and happily married, no idea who she is and spent most of the video looking at the scenery behind Mark. Book my place in the nursing home.
I believe barrybuttery's comment was pointing out that Mark COULD have dropped the ISO two stops to 200 and adjusted his shutter speed down two stops (to 1/500 sec) and achieved the same exposure with a slightly higher picture quality. Mark is a pro and he knows this. I'm sure he wasn't concerned about achieving the perfect final image quality since the point of the video was to show how the 2 exposures can be adjusted independently to achieve this effect.
@@Jgheiler If traveling with minimal gear, I would take a flashbender to produce softer light. The biggest problem here is that he over-exposed her on all of the first few flash-lit shots.
I am a camera guy and I like M. Wallace's stuff. There is nothing wrong if a fellow photographer is commenting for technical accuracies. I like this video a lot because it's hitting on multi-levels ranging from On-Camera usage to How to Expose for flash usage outdoor. Mark has great videos. I always consult his videos as a starting learning point. But, if Mark appears to be somewhat inaccurate about some cameras; let it be said. That's what the Internet is all about. We don't know everything!
He used aperture priority mode (auto) with the Canon shots... unlike manual mode on the Nikon shots. And exposure readings were taken from different locations and averaged giving different readings. If he was a good photographer he would control the situation by using manual and high speed sync with the canon.
Mark usually knows what he's about. I just think he made a mistake in his explanation of the regular exposure compensation and might not have caught the mistake before posting the vid. He's a pretty good teacher overall. Don't all get your panties in a bunch. Just look at some of his other vids.
Hello from 2017! Absolutely great video, explaining what I did need to know about the flash and how to control it. I wish I had seen this video 5 years ago...
Thanks for the video. I'm a little confused about the three comparison shots at 8:30. It seems to me that by changing the exposure compensation setting on the Canon camera also changed the exposures on pretty Jade and not staying the same as you mentioned. Please correct me if I missed out something. Thank you Mark.
Mark, man! This lesson was to my photography! I really got it for the first time! Thanks for being in depth yet simplistically clear! God bless! - Christopher from down in Brazil. ..
Christopher Soule I get it too really for the first time. Since the flash only flashes for perhaps 1/10000 of a second AND the background is not exposed, it doesn't matter what the camera shutter speed is. So shutter speed can't control the flash exposure.
had to watch this twice... first time just looked at Jade.. soo pretty!!!, but very good video. I am just starting out with flash photography and there is much to learn and this was very informative and well explained...
In your Canon example @ 8:28 you mention that exposure comp only changes the background. But those examples look like it has changed the flash exposure too?
I think I watched this video like two ago. Didn't know what Mark was talking about. With stay-at-home order, I have been watching a lot of RUclips photography with Gavin H. Learm a quite a bit, and understood pretty much Mark was talking about.
I have been screwing up flash shots with expensive (pro) Canon gear for over a decade now. I've never fully-understood the relationship between exposure settings and how they individually relate to the background and subject during flash. Yeeeyup. This video is a great example as to why the crap we put with regarding all social media is still worth it. This truly puts things in order! And you damned right I subscribed! ;-D
you have made photography like a poetry ....... very magical way to understand colors of life and how to shoot with camera.... thanks for making DSLR use easy and fun............
On Nikon you can shoot in aperture priority and do the flash exposure compensation on the flash itself. I have a SB700 and the exposure comp is the first thing on the menu, it's easy to change.
Umm.. yeah, the "Canon only" thing that makes it "unique" can also be done with Nikons. With either SB-600/700/800/900/910 on the camera, or even using the popup flash, you can control the scene's exposure compensation and the flash's exposure compensation separately. With CLS/AWL you can do it with remote flashes too, just ask Joe McNally. :)
@@Whaaatthefugg he's talking about a nikon in FP mode - you can use shutter speeds shorter than the 1/200 or 1/250 - so look for that HSS (high speed shutter sync) feature on your 80D. And your flash has to support it as well.
I was about to write to Mark Wallace about this "exposure compensation" thing. I guess I will not have to. Thanks Fred Basset for mentioning that on this forum... Because I have consulted my NIKON's D300 Manual and I have realized that my camera Specs can achieve Mark procedures in the same manner. In fact, I have paused this video several times to see how it's accomplished and that's when I started to wonder as to why is this procedure so exclusive to a Canon as opposed to a NIKON?!
@kaouthiavideo Just wanted to point out, that Mark is talking about independant each exposure compensation controlling while in aperture mode, not in manual mode, for a Canon.
He was controlling the background's exposure through shutter speed and had to compensate with higher iso for it. Don't think about the subject as the flash takes care of the exposure but rather expose the background properly to bring the subject and background both correctly exposed.
Ohh this video is just SO great. Im just a beginner with my Canon D70, 2 speedlight flashes, and some lenses.. but watching this realy gave med a BIG push for going on and learn.. happy for my camera😄😄
He was answering the guys question... how to overpower the sun with a flash. This gives a huge contrasty isolation effect between the model and the bright background.
@Raggnarr13 Yes, you can do exposure compensation for the ambient in P mode, aperture priority or shutter priority modes in Nikon, and exposure compensation for the flash separately. This is how Joe McNally often shoots with iTTL (underexpose the ambient by a stop, bump up the flash by a stop and a third).
I agree that how ISO plays into this would help as well. I believe that higher ISO basically give you more distance, but not sure how it interplays with aperture setting.
Thanks a lot Mark Wallace for this pretty cool video. I have tried it on my deck with a little statue and the technique worked as advertised. I did it exactly in Manual Mode by metering the background and I have kept varying my Shutter Speed up and down with my SB700 in TTL Mode and I got virtually the same results. Pretty cool! I have also tried the white background 18% Gray... Cheers! Btw-I did not do the the FEC with my SB700 but I can accomplish it with the D300 just like the Canon can...
@Deweeyy These photos are done in a basic manner to show how a technique is carried out - they don't look their best because he is using bare flash with no modifier to soften it, and also the colour temperature of the ambient light is warm and the flash is relatively cold. He could have used a modifier to soften the flash, and used a CTO gel to warm the flash output, and then perhaps moved the flash off camera. But all this would complicate the tutorial loads and probably confuse people.
Thank you for this info. I'm going to shoot a couple at a park for first time and I just got a Speedlight. I do have a Canon set- and I've been learning about the importance of using a bracket to raise the flash. This would help with shadows and red-eye? But from what I see in this demo.. if he had the flash higher would he not cast even more shadows ? Like on her neck? I already see a bit. I'm also learning about the card bounce but i guess that's only when you shoot indoors and bounce flash.
You need a Speed Light that has High Speed Sync capabilities. Nikon Flashes from the SB 600 up to the SB 910 will work on the D90. If you have one of those then go into the Custom Settings Menu (Pencil Icon) go to "e" menu scroll down to e5 and AUTO FP needs to be set to ON.
Look or google for high speed sync option. Or, if your equipement does not support that, lower your ISO as far down as it goes, decrease your apperture to a point where you can underexpose at 1/200th. What you could also do is mount a ND filter to your lens (this blocks light without you having to decrease your apperture, you can shoot wide open with a strong enough ND filter and still not need more then 1/200th.)
@GMoaz the 7d has better noise performance than the 500d. You can reduce noise in Lightroom or any editing software, but it takes away some detail... Try to find the perfect balance
The point was that the two exposures are connected in the other brands. The sponsor here is Adorama, where you can buy Canon, Nikon, Sony etc. I use Nikon, but I don't give a crap if Mark uses more Canon in these tutorials. Calling names is really uncool, when you have so many hours of well explained topics for free.
Great presentation, as always I have watched this a couple of times and commend you on presentation, content, detailed information which is easily understood. A great way to go, bite off a manageable portion and present with references for more detail. John - Indonesia
@mikestakeon I think he did it this time just so he could have a wider range of shutter speeds to demonstrate without having to worry about motion blur. Of course, in actual shooting you wouldn't necessarily want to use such a high ISO to avoid noise (unless you want the noise as an added effect).
Thanks for the video. I am trying to learn as much as I can about doing Head shots and all information is useful. I do prefer the style and work of Dylan Patrick and Peter Hurley that use 135mm to 200mm lens to get compress the background. Thanks for the info.
I noticed in Canons the FEC does not seem to work in high speed mode. It works in the regular TTL mode. To get FEC I have to be in TTL mode with shutter speed not more than 1/200.
i'm new to using the flash...but it looks like when you change camera exposure compensation to control the ambient light, it looks like it's also changing the exposure of the subject when you say it shouldn't.
great video - can you be in TV or AV and still control both ambiant and flash exposure separately or does this only work in manual - thanks for the video
the shutter speed is fast and the aperture is relatively small, making the scene overall pretty dark, hence the ISO compensation... besides most modern cameras these days handle high ISOs very well without any noticeable noise (even upto the 1600/3200)...
You're right. Canon doesn't. What he said was the Canon exposure compensation is independent of the flash, where the Nikon's exposure compensation modifies both the ambient light and flash exposure.
Even the D5100 has these features even though there are no dedicated buttons for it. Easy to access in the menu however.. This seems to be somewhat of a plug for Canons..

Nikon was doing the Flash exposure compensation on the D200 10+ years ago
Aperture also affects Jade exposure, but it's balanced with flash which doesn't hit background so thats why you can change it's exposure .

use manual mode and shoot at ISO 800 in mid day sunlight?

Why such a high ISO in bright sun?

@kaouthiavideo Just wanted to point out, that Mark is talking about independant each exposure compensation controlling while in aperture mode, not in manual mode, for a Canon.
Canon 7D EV minus 2 image looks the best. Being a 7D and 7Dii owner the +/- EV and Fcomp I use a lot. Such an easy system to get results quickly.
The model is amazingly beautiful. Great lesson too.
Great! Thanks for the comparison of the different flash control methods of Canon and Nikon, that was very helpful for me :)
As a amateur photographer I'm curious to know why you use 800ISO when shooting outdoors on a rather sunny day?
Maybe he was using ADL, that is optimized for higher ISO settings.
It's a little too late, but I think its about shutter speed. Bust ISO so you can go up with shutter speed and have a nice background.
Because he is answering the guys question... how to use flash to overpower the sun.
He was controlling the background's exposure through shutter speed and had to compensate with higher iso for it. Don't think about the subject as the flash takes care of the exposure but rather expose the background properly to bring the subject and background both correctly exposed.
To overpower the bright sun
I don't understand why the camera is set to 800 ISO, shouldn't it be 100-400?
Ohh this video is just SO great. Im just a beginner with my Canon D70, 2 speedlight flashes, and some lenses.. but watching this realy gave med a BIG push for going on and learn.. happy for my camera😄😄
iso 800 on a bright day?!
iso 800 with flash?!
+J Bart (onelibrastreet) I was thinking the same thing. Seems to work though.
+J Bart (onelibrastreet) he was also shooting 2000 or so shutter speed, that will darken, maybe that's why the higher iso? I dunno
the iso800 may have been used to compensate for the 7.1 aperture
Maybe to keep the shutter speed synched with the flash. And it wasn't a bright day, it was sunset, as he mentioned in the video.
He was answering the guys question... how to overpower the sun with a flash. This gives a huge contrasty isolation effect between the model and the bright background.
Excellent work... I was waiting for your new videos; likely, here they are!!!! thanks
@Raggnarr13 Yes, you can do exposure compensation for the ambient in P mode, aperture priority or shutter priority modes in Nikon, and exposure compensation for the flash separately.
