Ive been reading up on the subject too...my understanding is... Think of it as two exposures. One exposure for the ambient and one exposure for the flash. If the exposure for the ambient is "correct". If you now adjust the flash exposure it will be independent to the ambient exposure. ie...

Hi All Been getting my head around flash lighting and Stumbled upon this great video that maybe useful to others too...It demonstrate High speed sync and normal flash exposure. Using the base sunny F16 rule. Interpreting guide numbers in Flash and a bit about the exposure triangle...

Got these dial settings for the power output in the end from Lencarta Setting 5 = 1/32nd power Setting 5.5 = 1/16th power Setting 6 = 1/8th power Setting 7 = 1/4 power Setting 7.5 = 1/2 power Setting 8 = 1/1 power

Hi...Much appreciated for the link to the instruction manual very helpful...I see where you are coming from just adjust for more or less light as needed but I am just wondering how does the digital dial setting at the back relates to actual stops.

I am pretty new to flash lighting myself. I had a camera and a canon speedlight 430exII to play with initially. I sold the canon speedlight 430 exII and started afresh and purchased 2x Yonguno YN600EX RT speedlights and Yonguno YNE3 RT controller as a set as this provided a flash setup that...

If your camera allows... try setting the custom white balance manually and set it to 6000K and above and see how it turns out.

DIY Bokeh Shapes..I tried this out for the first time on the christmas tree lights. ..Really happy with the results...can see this being applied to other lightings and the shapes can be whatever you want it to be.

Liking all of them..Vey nice sunset tones. Can almost hear the waves and the birds in the shot really give life to the scene.

I ve given photoshop a go and have cropped out the bottom bit. To be fair its not the sharpest of image with quite a lot of grain but I do like the lighting on it. Bog by gogopic, on Flickr
