In this course, you’ll master all of the many buttons and features of speedlights. You’ll learn about each of your flash’s settings: manual, TTL, direct, bounce, off-camera, and more. You’ll explore the relationship between your camera and your flash, so you can move away from shooting in auto mode and toward capturing more nuanced, dynamic images. You’ll troubleshoot common flash issues and gain confidence manipulating the light from your speedlights to get exactly the look you want in your images. Mike will also cover the lighting choices that take an image from being just nice to look at to being highly marketable. This course is the definitive experience for anyone ready to become an expert user of this powerful, adaptable lighting system.
