Choice of Godox AD Flashes
rainbowphotography replied to rainbowphotography's topic in Lighting Equipment
Thanks, I likely will get one or two AD200Pro, one AD300Pro, and one V1, but nothing else. -
I am planning to add some Godox outdoor flashes for on-location portrait works and other types of people photos. After some online searches, I am debating on a few choices. One of them is whether I shall get an AD300Pro or just two AD200Pro with the dual power flash bracket as the main light. And for the on-camera flash, shall I get V860ii, but not V1? Any suggestions?

Thanks Mark for your info. I have the latest firmware installed on the camera and I had watched related videos on youtube before posting my question. I need to watch, more I guess. And I also go into other approaches you mention. I believe that I had set up a remote connection before with my phone. I never used an iPhone. So, I don't know how the iPhone shows up on the screen.

After having not used my 6D for some time, I tried to set up a WiFi connection with my tablet. Following a WiFi set-up instruction, I don't get screens as what I see in the instruction. In the confirm set, there are five options. On the connect to smartphone screen, I don't see how I can pick the option (see the photo). Also, sometimes, six icons will show up on a screen after I select WiFi connection on the menu. What is wrong?

I post two photos to illustrate my test for the scenario (rainbowphotography | photo.net I don't' know how to get those photos' URLs). The first one was taken with the default camera and flash setting in the TV mode. And the second one with the camera -2 and flash +2 in the same Tv mode. The shutter speed was the max. syn. speed, 180 and IOS was 1600. Ambient light is noticeable in the first photo and the flash light kills ambient light in the second photo. With this approach, the IOS setting would be used to control DOF. It definitely can run into a limitation of functioning properly due to ambient light strength.

Thanks very much for your analysis. I was not thinking. What you say is absolutely correct. With a flash, ambient light exposure is controlled by aperture. I should set my camera to the Tv mode and shutter speed less than or equal to the maximum synchronization speed so that the camera could adjust the exposure by altering aperture. The manual mode certainly is an approach too. BTW, I just test the flash with the camera and the flash works fine in a normal situation.

It seems to be a flash compatibility problem. The camera isn't on the flash compatibility list.

I had a Sigma 24-35 mm on the camera. So, the subject needed to quite close, between 2 - 5 m. Otherwise, the subject would be quite small.

My camera was on AV mode.

Yesterday, I went to take some photos for a parade. It was sunny. I initially set three steps below the auto exposure level on my camera and three steps above the E-TTL auto exposure level on my flash for backlit photos. The result is very bad as the subjects in those photos are washing out (too hot in exposure). Changing the metering mood from multi-pattern to the centre weighted doesn't help. I also tried to set my camera and flash to the auto level with the same or similar result. I had to give up using flash later. If my memory serves me well, I had used the approach for a point-shoot camera, Canon G11, in the type of national lighting situation before with a good result. I don't know where I mess things up. Is the equipment problem, Canon D6, and Sigma EF-610 DG Super? Or a technical problem?

After installing Instgram app on my Windows 10, I can't see how to load photos from its hard drive.

Having a set of Canon system equipment, I am thinking of adding a Sony body. I am wondering how the combo of a7 Mark II + Sigma MC-11 + Canon Mount Lenses work for others? Thanks for your inputs in advance.

I am wondering any web application sites for wedding, portrait photographers alike. Other than showcasing photos, They shall provide functionalities in marketing, booking and delivering and such. After an online search, I only find websites for photography portfolio.
