Great video. I´ve been waiting for a videoshow on how these studio flashes are working and how profesionals are using them. I´m looking forward to the next 10 episodes :-).
Best regards from Norway.
ohhhh… this is so interesting!!!! I love it!!!
Exactly what I wanted to learn…. you rule!!!
Good episode. I always wondered how studio flashes worked.
The lighting in the video looks better than in the previous shows.
But that might be partially because you aren’t using a chromakey.
I follow TFTTF for a while and they are all so good and fun. I was hoping for one like this for a while and am really happy we have it. I hope it will show techniques for light measuring, flash synchronizing etc.. After this, we are all going to run to ebay and buy strobes. Thanks Chris.
