flash

I’ve been asked to shoot an awards banquet, (which is not in my kitchen) but have agreed. I’m certain I’ll need a flash. Currently the only flash I own is the Godox tt350, which I’m not sure will be large enough. I don’t want to spend a lot of $ because I literally haven’t used mine in over 2...

I have been out a lot at night lately, using the built in flash. Good results with static objects, but the preflash interferes with animal Portraits, directs their attention to the camera. I was wondering if there was a way to turn this feature off? The manual didn't provide much information on...

I made a promise to someone I would make this thread, sorry I'm late mate. But I hope this helps. I have 4 different flash diffuser setups, mainly for macro but some can be used for other things. I'll start with the basics: A very very cheap and simple flash diffuser, you can search for Dorr...

I have two of their Flashpoint FPLFX600PB batteries but these batteries totally drained out after a month or so on the shelf. I believed when I purchased the PlashPoint XPLOR 600PRO flash it came with one battery and a charger. This is the charger I currently have. Now one of my battery is no...

Please share your images made with the Olympus FL-LM1, 2 or 3 flash either as main light or Fill-in. I use my FL-LM3 for quick and improv macro shots mainly. I keep it in a fabric pouch sized and shaped flash diffuser and because it's so small and light I take it often with me in most of my...

I think this was about seven years ago. I took this Contax to a local music show. I was more than 30 years older than anyone else there and probably looked out of place, nobody talked to me. But it was fun. I can not remember the film, I don't really care about what film I shoot, I just have to...

Looking to add an on camera flash plus wireless trigger for my Sony A7. I am already full in with Godox so want either a TT685 or TT350 plus X Pro trigger. Looking on Amazon, all the listings say A7R but not A7 (later A7 versions are shown as compatible). Is there an issue with flash...

So sometime back, prolly while packing up to move, I stored the EF-X8 flash for my Fuji X-T2 someplace clever. Trouble is, I'm flat out of clever at the moment and can't find it. I'm taking some pictures of "issues" with the new house to send to the contractor and a flash would be very...

So every year I take a trip with my friend of over 30 years. We go herping and arachnid imaging in the desert. We each wear a fairly bright miner's light as well as carry a UV light (for scorpions). As we age (74 and he is 80) I am wondering about using a flash for night imaging rather than a...

Heuou. I got my diffuser and I got (the wrong) Raynox DCR-150 to get better closeups from my Tamy zooms (for now) buy I need a flash. I was initially thinking of Meike MK320 for a light and portable setup with the Laowa 85mm f 5.6 APO Macro and Tamron 24/35mm f 2.8 Di III OSD Mqcro. It's cheap...

What are your general thoughts or recommendations on a diffuser for cameras with pop-up flashes? In my particular case it'd be a Canon 77D, and I know that there are a few different products out there and a bunch of DIY methods, but I'm more curious to the topic in general. Are they...

I have a Minolta maxxum A7. I ordered a few lens and they came with a flash . The model of the flash is Maxxum 2800 AF. It works by itself because I tested it. Put batteries in and hit the test button. And it fired. The manual for the camera said that this flash needs an hot shoe adapter...

Hi, I'm trying to get continuous low going indoors ie multiple exposure via a wireless remote. The camera won't do continous low unless I push the shutter release myself. The shutter is set for 1/125. Do I need a wired remote? The camera is set for remote control mode (quick response) Am I...

I picked up the K2 set of these (so 2x flash units plus the adapter rings, gels etc for them. Here is a quick test picture using them mounted onto the Fuji 80/2.8 lens, I use the XPro trigger to control them. Unit A was at the 1 o' clock position (as viewed from behind the camera) and was at...

Well, maybe I'm stupid, or just half blind, but is there any way to get rid of the "red little square with a number in it that is on top of the little picture of a flash" at the top of the window representing "What's New"? This number indicates how many new posts and threads that's been posted...

New little flash for my A6400. Lightweight and portability is the most important part for me in even considering taking a flash.

You might know those things that no reviews ever cover but can really make a camera system undependable for certain types of work, and when you ask, people tell you "that's what manual mode's for", or "that's just the way it is", it shouldn't have to be. And TTL flash has long been the worst...

I just bought this for my Nikon F2 and Nikon FM2n, but I also tried it on my X100T. Low Profile, powerful, Bounce and Macro to 1 foot, covers the 28/35/50 if you have the wide and tele converters Balances nicely, covers in the Hortz position 24/28/35/50, and in the Vert position 28/35/50/70 In...

My parents' dog wandered over to our house and sat by this door for a while. This is one of my first ever shots using a flash.
