Love this whole series. Slowly making my way through all the Digital Photography 1 on 1 vids. Keep up the great work. The bloopers at the end are fun too.

Great 1 on 1 video. I did notice that there was a "self portrait" when the flash was moved up high at 4:04 and 5:22 in the video. I saw reflection of Mark in Monique's glasses.

i figured this out through experience. most of the time if i have a light to my right or left i would just move slightly until the flare is removed. this works for sunlight flare when shooting outside as well.

This is great, but if you are shooting a series of headshots you want consistency between shots. If some people are not wearing glasses, but you have moved lights, it will affect the results. Would it not be better to have a large softbox positioned pointing sideways and in front of the model and maybe a little fill in a similar position on the other side? Excellent videos Mark, really helpful.

Could you please tell me the reflector or scrim that was used for this video, I'm interested in purchasing it from Adorma. Great video.

Mark - great tutorial as usual =) I have one question though... Could a circular polarizer be a solution in this case as well? =) Since light bouncing off the glasses is polarized it should do the trick, wouldn't it?

@thewhirlsandcurls 10 жыл бұрын

Any way you can change the angle of reflection on a mounted light? I just bought one that is mounted on top of the camera but now I'm thinking I should have gotten the umbrella lights..

@BrotherBloat I found the Adorama TV channel but could not find any playlist. I found a list of links under Digital Photography 1 on 1 section but none of them mentioned any episode number. So still this is cryptic.

@royscarbrough7593 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks, that helped lot. Passport photos done. Another question, why are you using such a long lens here?

@jasonbodden8816 8 жыл бұрын

I'll wager that it's a 70-200mm 2.8 he's using, maybe zoomed to somewhere between 70 and 100mm. if so, then he's using it because there'll be no perspective issues, no distortion, and the compression is great. It's a beautiful lens.

@markharris5771 8 жыл бұрын

What is the impact on this by the inverse square law? I'm thinking mainly where you raise your light source. I know you are reflecting light back in, but isn't it only a fraction of the light you had initially?

@MomentphotographyCoUk 7 жыл бұрын

You could increase the light power, but the increased distance causes harder shadows; unless you also increase the size of the light source.

You always give reference to other related videos stating episode number like in this one 206 and 208. But how does one find that episode? Can you instead/ additionally give link to related videos in the description section below the video?

Well but what do you do if you are in an public hall and don´t have an umbrella with you?

@jasonbodden8816 8 жыл бұрын

If you're using bare off camera flash, the same principles apply. You're just changing the angle of your light source. The rule of the angle of incidence equalling the angle of reflection doesn't change. Just the light won't be as soft. For convex lenses, you can ask your subject to tilt her head down and/or across a little off axis to your light source until the reflection doesn't register in the specs. Failing that, ask her politely to take it off.

Sadly these are not practical applications to use, and as was noticed the video camera had reflection as well. Flash reflection happens outdoors and is not practical to expect someone to carry a truck load with them. Great idea but it is studio applicable only and well sunglasses are not often worn indoors :)
