EXCELLENT explanation. Never seen it explained this way. I’ve watched a lot of KZfaq videos about soft boxes, hard light, soft light in stuff. But they never explained shape and form within the light and how to create it.

I love these series of videos Mark! Quick question: Could you do a tutorial or overview of the different types of backdrops (between seamless paper, vinyl, and textured/canvas)? I haven't really found a solid video outlining the pros/cons between them and what sort of photos turn out depending on which you use.

the correct term for B&W is *Achromatic* (without color), .... NOT *Monochromatic* (containing or using only one colour ; Light or other radiation of a single wavelength or frequency). *Leica* got it wrong by calling its 'B&W-only' camera as 'M-Monochrom', but, *Phase-One* is right when it names their XF150 'Gray-scale' camera system as "Achromatic".

Grayscale is a range of shades of gray without apparent color. The darkest possible shade is black, which is the total absence of transmitted or reflected light. The lightest possible shade is white, the total transmission or reflection of light at all visible wavelengths. Black and White image contains only two levels. Gray image is represented by black and white shades or combination of levels for e.g. 8 bit gray image means total 2^8 levels from black to, white 0 = black, & 255 = White. Grayscale image have a continuous range of gray values while a binary image is a digital image that has only two possible values for each pixel. Grayscales are represented as integers within the computer. In order to represent a gray scale by a number, a computer must first decide how many bits (binary digits) to use to represent the grayscale. Black and White image is a special case of Grayscale image where the gray value/level is restricted to be pure white or pure black only in contrast to varying gray level of white or Black in case of gray scale image. Grayscale image has gray values ranging from 0-255 where 0 =black, 255= white while the black and white image has only 0 and 1 values where 0 =black, 1=white. grayscale image has the value from 0-255, whereas black and white has the value of 0/1 only. Binary images are images whose pixels have only two possible intensity values. They are normally displayed as black and white. Numerically, the two values are often 0 for black, and either 1 or 255 for white. Binary images are often produced by thresholding a grayscale or color image, in order to separate an object in the image from the background. The color of the object (usually white) is referred to as the foreground color. The rest (usually black) is referred to as the background color. However, depending on the image which is to be thresholded, this 📷polarity might be inverted, in which case the object is displayed with 0 and the background is with a non-zero value. Some morphological operators assume a certain polarity of the binary input image so that if we process an image with inverse polarity the operator will have the opposite effect. For example, if we apply a closing operator to a black text on white background, the text will be opened.

@MarkWallaceVideos4 жыл бұрын
Almost all studio strobes have a sensor on them, it "watches" for other flashes to fire. The trigger is from the Profoto flashing. When the Profoto flashes the Godox "sees" it and also fires. That's why I had to move the Godox pack so it could "see" the Profoto flash. Using this feature you can trigger one light and all the others (no matter what brand) will also fire. Some speedlights also have this feature. You just have to put your flash in "slave" mode.
