Yongnuo YN 622C E-TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Review

March 19, 2024

Yongnuo YN 622C is one of the newest products from Yongnuo that allows you to take your Speedlite off the camera while giving the photographer plenty of control through the camera’s menu. Having looked into various systems for off camera flash I settled with the Yongnuo YN 622C as it seemed to offer everything I wanted at a very reasonable price. Out of the box, I hooked up the Yongnuo…

Flash Photography : Shooting A Music Night With Off Camera Flash

Flash off the camera, finally I took my flash off, I have owned the Speedliter’s Handbook by Syl Arena for a while but I finally put some of his ideas into practice. I was shooting a music night one of the local pubs in Beverley. The room was quite light but where the performers were was not so bright at all. Normally I would place my speedlite on the top of the camera and just swivel the head about and bounce the light off something but I wanted to try something different. For this event I was shooting with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM prime lens, a Canon 430 EX II... more»

Night Photography : Canon 5D With EF17-35mm F2.8L Lens

Getting out and doing a spot of night photography can often be very rewarding and is something I do enjoy given half the chance to do it. This collection of photos were taken in Beverley in Hengate Gardens. There was a lot of ambient light about, a lamppost and the flood lights on the monument were quite useful. For this night photography project I used a Hahnel HRC 280 Remote Shutter Release, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and nice wide lens, the EF17-35mm F2.8L USM and a tripod! This image has not go through Photoshop, it was taken in RAW and then converted using the Cannon software. The white... more»

Canon EF 15mm F2.8 Fisheye: Shooting In A Night Club

Canon EF 15mm F2.8 Fisheye Fisheye was the lens of choice over the weekend as I got to shoot in a an awarding winning venue, the Asylum Club in Hull. The club had plenty going on and a lots of coloured lights, lasers and smoke not to mention over a thousand people inside partying. with so many visual it was a great place to try out new things and really express myself through taking different sorts of pictures than I have been used to. With access to all the areas in the club it was possible to get some great shots from the DJ both and other restricted areas that provided... more»

Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17 Product Review

For around a month I have been using the Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17 to provide faster recycling time with my speed lights. So far I have used the Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17 with a Canon 580 EX II and a Yongnuo YN565EX Speedlite and it works perfectly well with both. The Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17 is made from plastic and comes in a black pouch with a Velcro seal. In all the Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17 holds six AA batteries, be warned it is a little tricky to work the door on the Yongnuo Compact Batter Pack SF-17, patience is needed. The cost of the Yongnuo Compact... more»

Sports Photography : Shooting Football With A Canon EF 400mm f2.8L USM

Canon EF 400mm F2.8L USM was the lens used for this sports photography shoot featuring Beverley Town Football Club and Sculcoates Amateurs. The Canon EF 400mm F2.8L USM was mounted to Canon EOS 1D Mark IV with exposure being set manually. For some time, I have been using the Canon EF 400mm f2.8L USM lens, mainly for cricket but more recently to shoot amateur and professional sport. Given the size and weight of the Canon EF 400mm F2.8L USM I always fix it some sort of support, in this instance, I used a Manfrotto Monopod. So to summarise, the equipment used for this job was; Canon EOS 1D Mark... more»

Panning Photography Practice: Roadside With Canon 1D Mark III

Panning Photography practice is not as dull as it sounds, but I got a few funny looks from people in their cars as I pointed my Canon EOS 1D Mark III with the 70-200mm at them! This technique of taking photos is something I rarely do as the types of things I photograph would not suit the results. Saying this it is fun and the effects it creates in the images is quite nice. While walking back from my local town centre from a previous job I figured I would leave my camera out and take some pictures on the way home. When I got to a road, I thought I would give Panning... more»

Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM

Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM lens when mounted on my Canon camera has become one of the most used lens in my bag and something I always take to every job photography I go out on. The Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM is my go to lens when I am shooting in number of different situations which require the camera to work fast when there is little ambient light and need to get the pictures without thumping up the ISO on my camera. As with all prime lens I find the quality of the resulting images are far better than most of the telephoto lens I have used but that could just be down to my own personal view... more»

Canon EOS 5D Mark II Long Exposure Pictures By The River Hull

This shot was taken on the River Hull on a chilly evening, again with no tripod so the camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II was placed against something steady. The idea of taking pictures of moving water is quite an appealing one to me but I do not often get the time, or I should say make the time to go out and just do it. Earlier in the day I have gone the same location and take some pictures while the tide was out, you can see them here; the pictures on this page, (Canon EOS 5D Mark II Long Exposure Pictures By The River Hull),were taken on the same day but much later in the afternoon when the... more»
