TTL vs Manual Flash for Nature Photography

Flash for nature photography can be a confusing subject. One big question is when to use TTL and when to use Manual flash. That's a tough choice for the nature photographer, and the right answer depends on the situation. I take you through a few studio exercises (pandemic, after all!) so that you feel more comfortable deciding which type of flash to use the next time you head out in the field. As I always say, learning flash will make you a better student of natural light! Sorry for a little quirk in the uploading. Part of the video didn't scale right with YouTube for some reason. So, I deleted it, corrected it, and then uploaded it again so it looked right for you. ============================= 📽VIDEO SECTIONS ============================= 0:00 Intro 1:53 Does TTL flash give consistent exposures? 4:32 TTL flash exposure compensation demo 7:12 TTL vs. manual when changing camera settings 10:17 TTL vs. manual when changing flash to subject distance 13:45 TTL vs. manual off-camera flash 16:35 When to use manual flash 18:37 Outro ============================= 🛒SHOPPING LINKS ============================= LINKS BELOW EARN ME A SMALL COMMISSION Godox XPro Flash Transmitter https://geni.us/pJ9sF Godox AD200 Flash https://geni.us/mb26 Godox V860 II Flash https://bhpho.to/3gdP7HW Godox V860III Flash https://geni.us/DPxauvn Godox TT350 Flash https://geni.us/M8BNK Godox TT600 Flash https://geni.us/a2gmT ============================= 📚E-BOOKS & RELATED VIDEOS ============================= Want to learn more about flash?
