How to use SPEEDLIGHTS and OFF CAMERA FLASH at weddings and events [Manual Mode]

In this video, I teach you my guide to using speed lights and off-camera flash at weddings and events. I talk through using Manual Mode techniques which translate to all camera models Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax…Using my guide “The Triangle of loveliness” Not sure where I got the name from but it's the easiest way to describe using off-camera manual flash that I can come up with. It works for me every time. I use this method of off-camera flash whether using speed lights or larger lights such as Elinchrom ELB 1200's. I have always used manual flash at weddings rather than TTL or ETTL, I just find for me it works every time and I get it right more quickly. Preferring to use flash powers, distance to subject, apertures, shutter speeds & ISO to get things where I need them to be. For some photographers, ETTL or TTL works. I say if its manual and it goes wrong you can do something to fix it! ( note this section was filmed as part of a training DVD on weddings, that is what I am referring to at times throughout the content )
