Do you have to correct for the fluorescent above the model or does the flash with a higher kelvin over rule the bulbs?

Would you call the home security company “ADT” like an acronym or spell it out….i agree that everyone knows what it means when said “eye-ess-ohh” but the correct way to say it is “I-S-O” most people say it so quickly that it sounds like its being sounded out

Considering ISO is an acronym, Eye Ess Oh is probably right; but does it really matter? We know what it means however it’s said.

Talk to me after you earn your degree in photography…..I don’t believe in using the word pro like you do either. I bet you also think your a ‘pro’ because you shoot with a D3….get over yourself

it is pronounced “eye-so”. Go into any room with pros, that’s what they say. Don’t fight it, just submit, you’re not going to win.

Great Video, but ISO is not pronounced ‘eye-so’. You speak each letter like “eye” “ess” ‘oh” I-S-O…….

Thanks for a great video! However…
Shutter speed doesn’t affect amount of light from the flash because flash happens very rapidly. The only way to affect flash exposure is by changing the aperture. When you were slowing down the shutter, the light meter was reducing your aperture, which resulted in more ambient and less flash.
So the end result is exactly as described, only difference is that technically flash exposure was affected by smaller aperture
Please correct me if i’m wrong.

ok I thought it might be something like that.

This is a problem with the shutter speed of the video camera. Usually the flash fires between frames so it doesn’t show up in the video. But the flash is actually firing.

great videos, but why is it that in most of your videos when you fire a flash, you don’t usually see it on the video?

I actually prefer the 20% balance – any higher and the ambient light (which is beautiful) takes the backseat too much.
