I've been reading Neils blog for a few years now, it's where I learned how to do flash for weddings. His blog is such a great resource he could repackage it and sell it. I was glad to stumble across this podcast with Neil. Thanks so much!

[...] why so many people donâ€™t like to use flash or stick to being â€œnatural lightâ€ shooters. In a recent podcast with Neil van Niekerk, Neil talked about bouncing the light to the left or right to create directional lighting. This [...]

High ISO allows for a fast shutter speed, but really, I can shoot at 1/8th of a second and freeze the subjects simply by using flash on second curtain sync.

Neil is a genius with on camera flash. All who say the flash has to be off the camera need to read his website.

I've just listened to this and got SO much out of it – thank you Kerry and Neil. Having spent the last year working out how to get my flash off-camera, this has made it so much clearer about how to use it on-camera!! I have Neil's book, which is excellent – but having him talk through it with Kerry asking all the questions I've been thinking has really sorted it out in my head. Brilliant brilliant brilliant and thank you again!!!!

Hey Kerry –

Used Niel's suggestions in my weekly practice session last week and really loved the results. My write up is here: http://jchandlerphotography.com/1522

Thanks for providing the on-camera flash info.

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully it turned out ok in the end and that we helped teach something that will be useful in the future.

I cried when I listened to this as I drove away from my first wedding this weekend. This would have been soooo helpful to know before I started shooting in the very dark small room where the ceremony took place.

Thanks for this great interview with NvN! I already soaked up his Tangents Blog intensely and it's nice to hear his voice for the first time.
