    Hello, have you come across “photo SFX art” (do a Google search for it)? There you can watch a good free video explaining how to take amazing photographs. It made it possible for Matt to take photos that leave you with a wow-effect after you look at them. I hope it helps you too.

    thanks for the reply, i use Pentax and always meter my flash manually rather than trying to get my triggers work with P-TTL. as regards the availability of diffuser paper etc on location — never a problem (for emergency use) some tracing paper always travels with me in the kit bag :)

    Good afternoon! Have you had any luck with photo sfxart tricks (just google it)? My buddy James made some very incredible pictures with their video tutorials.

    I’m just starting out (well I used to shoot manual back in the late 80s and 90s). I’m getting the Nikon D7000 as an entry level camera. I can’t thank you enough for such a fantastic video and really hope to hear more tips from you!!

    A really excellent instructive video. Very grateful for this!

    Thanks Flashwhisperer!! Your video provided ALL the flash instruction needed for me and my friends to start creating inspiring photos. Most importantly you did it in a nonsense easy-to-understand elegant way just like the great ones of history (i.e e=mc^2). BTW In order to thank you you moved me to create an account on youtube and to continue doing so I will share your video with all my friends and family.

    You would only need to compensate if you are using your on-camera (pop-up) flash in manual mode. The TTL metering adjusts automatically. Mind you, you are going to lose a couple of stops of *potential* flash power, so you are going to be limited to about half the maximum camera-to-subject distance compared to an undiffused flash. With wax paper, tracing paper or frosted drafting film, you’ll lose a little less range, but not much — and you’re less likely to find it to hand on location.

    Hi there, do you know “Photo SFXart Tricks” (do a Google search for it)? On their website you can watch a smart free video featuring the right way to shoot fantastic pictures. It made it possible for Daniel to shoot pictures which have that jaw-dropping-effect when you look at them. Perhaps it will work for you as well…

    Can i use the CLC of Nikon, without using any wireless trigger?

    “tell your camera what to do” best advice

    carson kressley?

  • By altern8ive, January 25, 2013 @ 7:56 am

    thanks but you forgot to mention the need of a tripod or other support when using slow sync otherwise any background data the camera captures will be destroyed with the longer shutter. also, if you were using a piece of paper as a diffuser, would you not need to increase the flash’s output to compensate to fire through it? wax paper would be better option?
