THIS IS ADDICTIVE! Street Photography with off-camera flash. Leica Q2

THIS WAS ADDICTIVE — roaming the Ragged Victorians historical event with the Leica Q2 and an off‑camera flash gave everyday scenes a cinematic, dramatic look I couldn’t stop shooting. In this video, I share the best frames and quick tips for mixing ambient light with a portable off‑camera flash. About the shoot: Location: Ragged Victorians historical event Camera: Leica Q2 (28mm equiv.) Lighting: Off‑camera flash system — handheld/remote for rim, fill, and dramatic separation Shooting style: Candid street portraits and environmental scenes, fast framing, blending ambient and flash for mood What you’ll see: • Full‑frame samples from the event • How I positioned the off‑camera flash for rim, short‑lighting, and subtle fill • Example exposure settings and why I chose them (shutter, aperture, ISO) • Quick post‑processing notes and selection criteria • My favourite frames and what made them work Quick gear & settings: • Leica Q2 — 28mm equivalent • Flash: off‑camera, usually 1/2 to 1/16 power depending on distance and look (adjust as needed for rim vs fill) • Shutter: ~1/125 – 1/1000 to balance ambient • Aperture: ~f/2.8 – f/11 depending on indoor/outdoor and desired depth of field • ISO: 100 – 400 depending on available light Links & credits: • Event: Ragged Victorians — https://www.raggedvictorians.co.uk/ • Blaenavon Ironworks — https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-t...
