Review on πŸ“Έ Yongnuo YN568EX YN-568EX TTL High Speed 1/8000 Flash Speedlite for Canon: Exceptional Flash Performance and Precision by James Nedumaran

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great flash at an unbelievable price

I'm a beginner, intermediate, and handheld photographer, but I've never liked my indoor low light shots. A friend asked me to photograph her wedding and I knew I needed something to take my photography to the next level and ensure the lighting was right for indoor wedding shoots. This flash did just that! I love thistle - just attach a flash and go. Half-press the shutter button and zoom in a little to let the flash capture what you're photographing. You can play around with the strength of the flash (eg: -2/3) depending on how strong your flash is. The pictures turned out great! It felt so good to finally get rid of the noise in my indoor shots. I even used a flash during an outdoor ceremony because they were in a gazebo which made it very dark and the outside light bright. I was able to photograph behind the audience and their faces were well lit. The recycling time was imperceptible, it seemed to me that I could shoot continuously. I set up my tripod and took a group photo of everyone at the wedding at the end of the night when it was completely dark and the photo came out great. My boyfriend LOVES photography and I couldn't have done it without a flash. I highly recommend this flash, especially for the price! Please note this is a slave only. Also, I bought 4 pack eneloop batteries and shot for about 6 hours before they ran out. I recommend buying a set of 8 if you're going to be shooting longer than 4-6 hours.
