Gear I Use (as a Sony user)
Flash options (100 W +)
- Godox V100S – lightweight, perfect combination of power from a speedlight.
Essentials
- Godox X3-S trigger – fires the flash off-camera
- CTO gels (½ or full strength) – warms up the light for that sunset feel - I will usually use the full strength CTO. (Either Godox magnetic or MagMod gels work great).
- Light stand – at least 2 m tall so you can line up with the horizon
Placement Tips
- Think about where the sun actually is — or where it would be if hidden behind clouds.
- Keep the flash in line with (or slightly above) the horizon.
- Hide it behind a tree, building, or your subjects for believability.
- Increase distance for softer, scene-filling light.
