    better…nice job

    thank you so much, you are the only one I have seen who gets straight to
    the point and understands using one flash with no light meter.

    At 2:16 tell your model not to put much of her weight on the arm closest to
    the camera, it makes it look much bigger than it really is. Good location
    and pretty model 🙂 Good shots.

    Is the telephoto necessary if you have something like a 25 or 50mm f/1.4.
    I’d think you can get the same kind of shots, you’d just be closer to the
    model.

    Is the lens that you use (Canon EF 70-200mm f4L IS USM Lens) or (Canon EF
    70-200mm f/4L USM)??

    If you have a Nikon flash you have to set the camera to auto FP.

    Good video on how to blur the background. Not so informative on the use of
    fill flash. Sounded like you were using high speed shutter. If that was the
    case then I would question if the speedlight recyled fast enough for the
    second shot. Except for the first shot I never saw any flash going off when
    you were shooting. Just a suggestion, you could have moved so you were
    shooting partially into the sun to form a halo around her hair and use the
    flash to fill in the shadow areas. Not a bad video.

    70-200mm f4.0…say what you want about the 2.8 but the 4 is a beast

    The black stripe was due to your shutter speed setting which was faster
    than the camera’s maximum flash sync speed. Please see Adorama TV’s Digital
    Photography One-on-One, Episode 17 in which flash sync speed is explained
    very well by Mark Wallace.

    I use auto WB (white balance) but sometimes the camera gets it wrong. Brent

    That’s exactly what happens if you use a shutter speed faster than 1/200sec
    (1/250sec on some smaller sensor cameras).

    1/2500s sync speed, eh bro?

    hand your model a light meter, have her aim it at the flash/camera, put
    your flash on manual, and take a shot. The light meter will tell you
    everything you need to know for proper exposure of the model at that flash
    setting.
