Flash Photography 101: Speedlights v Strobes? Triggers? WTF? | Off Camera Flash for Beginners Part 1

Flash Photography 101: Why choose strobes vs speedlights, the pros and cons of each for off camera flash, the way they both work and more is in here - the off camera flash for beginners, Part 1!

Off camera flash can be incredibly confusing, all these new bits of kit, terminology and things to remember. But if you're brand new, the differences between a speedlight and a strobe, how they each work and what the benefits are can be mind-blowing. So, today we dissect the strobes v speedlights situation in terms of most uses, we look at good recommendations for newbies with a budget, and we also look at the triggers.

How lights are triggered from the camera is something that I remember being overwhelmed by, so I did want to pop a section of the video down for off camera flash triggers, as well as mention the mounts and things you need to be aware of an off camera flash beginner.
