the problem with the flash outside was the angle of the blades of the courtine, if you move the outside flash from the left side to the right side of the window the light will make his way trough the blades and have a better background… think about it.
Hi Matt, I’ve only recently started watching your tutorials and am finding them very helpful. Can I ask, though, why you didn’t use a second pocket wizard on the flash outside? Wouldn’t that have avoided the need for line of sight slave flash? Or am I missing something?
Hey Matt, is Part 5 part 4? or Did you just miss that? I’m a strobist beginner, I must say I really love your work and your videos. More power to you!
Greetings from The Philippines, by the way.
Matt, although your using of the light stand to focus in manual mode is a good method, i would suggest trying setting a single point autofocus on the light stand, that way, you can just stand in the area that the light stand was in, and your cam will autofocus on your face.
I was also wondering the same thing. I use optical slave sometimes, but for this example, I would have put both flashes on my YongNuo 602s and had at it. Why the optical slaves when you had PWs there?
Dont you think with Canons new 600EX-RT’s a whole new world of creativity will be born? 100ft (30mtr) range without direct line of sight, I’ve tested the closed door effect.
Hey Mat, Question, Shooting in manual mode and I want my settings at, let’s say iso 200 at 7.1 f stop. So I set my speedlites to the same settings, will that give me balanced light?

I couldn’t find part 4 either
March 6th, 2013 at 9:13 am
where is the part 4?
March 6th, 2013 at 9:54 am
we can easily overpower daylight with strobes
March 6th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Matt, would it have been more effective to shoot at night, No outside ambient light at all. Only the strobes?
March 6th, 2013 at 11:12 am
haha, yeah, must be my accent

What about D7000 with a 50mm prime 1.4g?
March 6th, 2013 at 1:15 pm
What happened to part 4? I cant find it, I really wanted to see the ND filter stuff!
March 6th, 2013 at 1:25 pm

That’d suck to be open up the door again after the shoot to find your speedlite stolen…

March 6th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
You have an SB-26?! Me too! Do you have any tips on using that together with a newer system like the SB-700?

no reason you cannot get results just as good
March 6th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
