I love this series. How about some tips on self portrait? How to nail focus or creativity tips on that topic would be terrific. ❤️ from Brazil, guys.

A good example of getting results with simple lighting. I was waiting for you to troubleshoot the bright specular highlight on the wall (which, being painted, was more reflective than a ‘wall’ wall). Possibly some repositioning of the light and/or feathering. You resolved it by tightening the frame but, if you wanted elements of that mural to add impact, the hotspot would require a fix. Given the necessity of proximity of light source to subject, the only fix I could see is the use of a more controlled modifier - a soft-box, perhaps with a grid. One for another demonstration, perhaps.

I agree.

I kept looking at the hotspot wondering how he was going to address it. Being so bright and so much larger in the frame compared to the model seemed like much more of a distraction than the initial shadow on the wall he was adjusting for.

Thank you, Pye. Excellent video. I especially like seeing you give an example with the underappreciated and oft-maligned shoot-through umbrella. It's probably the most portable source of soft light out there.

Thanks Pye. A great demo of the advantage of high speed sync. Have you ever used a circular polarizer filter to reduce or eliminate the flash reflections in someone's eyeglasses? This might be a good demo since I haven't seen anyone do this. It works for me.

Outstanding as usual! One simple light (and it's modifier) plus a conscious effort to utilize the background, equals some amazing shots there. The strong lines from the model sure didn't hurt any either. I love being able to pick up a tidbit or two from EVERY video. Since you have kids about the same age as my grandkids, maybe a video on the trials and tribulations of capturing photos with little ones (and their short attention spans)? I assume one would need to get lower to the ground (eye level or lower?) for a more impactful capture?

you make it so easy, what about if you cant use high sync (above 1/250th)? how do you deal with that?

7:27 one source of light gives huge difference of exposure between face and arm. Looks super obvious. It would bother me. Maybe I'm paranoid 🙃 great video, thank you!

When is the best use fo A10? If you are shooting in the shade and pushing the power limits of this flash to max 10, would you have brought a B10 instead to be sure you had enough light?

what about the flash spill on the brick wall?

1000 dollars whoa ??? Is a godox worth that much

@MichaelCTruth 3 жыл бұрын

Dont spend $1000 on a flash. That's ridiculous. But an yonguo or a godox for around $138. They are always pushing these hi priced brands.

@cesarkastoun5752 2 жыл бұрын

I wanted to like this video but honestly, I can't. 2 issues: 1 - how to deal with the small flash: double up the ISO to 100 and the shutter speed to 1/1000: you get the same ambiant exposure but the *impact* of your flash on your subject doubles. This would have given you much more flexibility. 2 - in the wide shots, there is just too much light spillover on the near wall. An umbrella is probably not the best modified to use here. For dramatic lighting, you want a light that's much more directional, like a gridded soft box or even just a bowl (harsh light, but for this subject it might work)
