Thanks Yaw, I'm just starting to learn in portrait/fashion photography and watching your video inspires you, especially when it comes to how to use flash in outdoor shoots.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks 🙏🏾 a lot Kushan

[@steveolesen8033]

You made it look simple but it really is that simple...I see so many beginner photographers that are afraid of OCF or think it's too complicated...it's really easy once you use it

[@Yaw_Niel]

That’s so true. And it gets easy and addictive

[@RaulRodriguez-fj4mo]

Thanks a lot Raul. I appreciate your kind words

Please make more like that

Yes sir 💪🏾🔥👌🏾

[@raesraws]

With the AD200 & HSS, when you are outside what do you use the AD200 at? I get that it varies depending how far/close and modifiers but im curious if I will be maxing out the power or 1/2 & 1/4 all the time. I am debating on getting a stronger light if so.

[@Yaw_Niel]

It actually depends on the time of day. If it’s very sunny/bright you’ll have to max out power or even take one of your diffusers off ( if softbox or octabox). But I bet you won’t be maxing out all the time. I didn’t go below 1/16 in this particular photoshoot

[@Daniel-fm7qg]

@@Yaw_Niel Exactly what I was expecting from this video to know what flash power you are using. Amazing work!

[@stuarthayesphotography]

Lovely work! I've just recently got an AD200 but haven't shot outside with it yet, what power were you mostly using it at and how long would you get from one battery?

[@Yaw_Niel]

During this shoot i was always using between 1/16 and 1/32th power. And the softbox was double diffused. So plenty of power left

[@stuarthayesphotography]

@@Yaw_Niel Thank you, I should be all good for a shoot I have planed for golden hour so!

[@Yaw_Niel]

@@stuarthayesphotography absolutely Stuart…you should be good 💪🏾💪🏾👌🏾

[@jasonbodden8816]

@@stuarthayesphotography You can't go by his flash power or camera settings as your settings will always be different to his because your lighting situation will never be the exact same as his or anyone else's. You may need more or less power depending on a host of variables, including the light modifier you use, time of day, and the actual location itself.

[@stuarthayesphotography]

@@jasonbodden8816 oh totally agree every scenario is different. I was just wondering if the 200w power is enough for an outdoor shoot

[@davidramziz3200]

Hey! I see you were shooting with the a73, and your iso was at 400. Did you have a particular reason for it? Doing some quick math at 2:55, you could be at iso100 shutter 1/200 (loose 2 stops iso wise, gain 2 stops shutter wise) to get the same exposure. Freeing you from using HSS, and giving your light more room to work with (refresh and power wise).

[@Yaw_Niel]

Yes that works too. That day was overcast so I didn’t really bother myself with the iso and it worked fine. Days when I need extra power from my flash I usually work with low shutter ( just enough to avoid motion blur )

@AlessandroSagnelli you’re welcome buddy

[@tamaryisrael3480]

Is your flash in manual or auto?

[@Yaw_Niel]

It’s in manual Israel

[@WassimJelassi]

why the background is pulsating like that? nice photos btw

[@Yaw_Niel]

Realised it too. Not sure if it’s because I’m shooting NTSC in Europe or the lens. I’m gonna switch to pal and see if that fixes it

[@transparent1054]

Some nice shots. Sandbag anyone :)

[@Yaw_Niel]

Thanks 🤩. Sandbag definitely on my buying list 😂
