KAhibalo ko tinapulan ni akoa pero mangayo unta ko ug tabang ninyo ug mga tips and techniques diha kay naay event this friday nya murag dili enough 3 days kung mag-self study pako. Mao tabang tawon mo nga magamit nako ni effectively ... hehe... salamat daan sa mga Bro nako diri nga motubag..

balance your exposure sa foreground (with flash) with the background scene for covering events. You can control the background exposure by shutter priority or derecho nalang sa manual setting and just let the flash go on TTL for the foreground.

Events photography labi na indoors ug gabii or indoor lighting, mas nindot gyud nga klaro ang background (usually warm ang lights indoors) when using flash kay sa sige lang ngitngit tungod kay taas ang imong shutter speed. 1/30sec or 1/40sec will usually work for most shots labi na nag group picture while maintaining a good light for the background. In general, you can under expose your background at 1/2 to 1 stop than your foreground that is hit by the flash. For close-up portraits or small group shots, the flash diffuser is nice to have for softer light. With a Nikon system, di ra ka mag problema sa mga shots nimo, kasaligan ang flash system sa Nikon, sure gyud nindot ang kuha bisan piyongan pa nimo. hehehe Good luck and enjoy!

pareha gyud kaayo, duplicate gyud pero wala na ko mipalit ug flash. most of my shots are taken without flash as much as possible since kaya naman sa system.

Before with film cameras and the D70, I have three professional flash sa Nikon, wala gyud koy mahay sa flash performance, better than the other brands.

Just bring at least two sets of flash batteries (ansmann nindot ug performance nga battery) when covering an event. Three sets can do a whole day event. Once masabtan na nimo ang flash, second nature nalang na nimo, sayon nalang permi tanan. Tuod, nindot kung naa kay flash bracket to get consistent shadow at the back kung di kalikayan naay shadow. Pwede ra pud walay shadow makita, just expose the background well
aron murag wala ka mag gamit ug flash and still get a well lighted subjects on the foreground.

BroVernie salamat kaayo, i will try your suggestion. Parehas raba ta ug setup ... hehe

Mas samot pa gyud ka nice kung gamiton nimo ang flash remotely, kanang naa kay kauban mo position sa flash duol or sa side or at strategic angle sa subject while naa ra ka sa layo. Another interesting ani mahitabo with a flash is on table top setup. Then ang flowers shots nimo mo samot na ka nindot pa gyud ang colors. endless possibilities gyud kung naa na kay control sa light source since photography is about recording the light.

Congrats bro nowayl

Mao ni ako usual setting when using flashgun on an event

shutter = 1/100 ~ 1/125 (controls the ambient light)
aperture = f4 ~ f5.6 (controls the light from your flashgun) f11 man guro ang max niya ma-synch
iso = 400 ~ 800
flashgun = set to ttl -.03ev ~ 0.0ev
