Wow Allen! Thanks so much for the feedback. That’s really kind of you!

That's amazing! And I'm sorry - being obsessed with light like that means you'll see it everywhere now. Walking down the street, driving to an appointment. lol

Haha, thanks for watching Rebecca! Enjoy

Amazing! 👍🏻

I'll have to check that out.

Which video is that? Can't find it. Or is it not fro Jerry?

Ah, Jacqueline, that’s really nice of you. Thanks so much for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful!

Thanks, Jun!!

You're very welcome! Thank you so much for that feedback.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thats fantastic to hear!! Lighting can seem scary, but if we can embrace light and use it to our favor as photographer, we are golden!

​@@JerryGhionisPhotographyso true, thank you

Thank you! Peter Hurley took my headshot and that's exactly what he was doing for sure. :)

Thanks a lot!!

Cheers, Don!

Ah, cheers Ramtea. Thanks for watching!

thanks for watching!

Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Thanks, fadel!

Glad you enjoyed it!

More to come!

Thanks, mate! I truly appreciate it.

I totally agree! Thanks for watching!

@@JerryGhionisPhotography Is there a reason why you were shooting with ISO 400 and such a high shutter speed? Since the subject isn't really moving, why the high shutter speed? Why not just do ISO 100 with shutter speed of 100?

thanks for watching!

Thank you!!

Thanks a lot, Steve!!

Merci!

Thank you! I will do better and post more frequently!

Он лентяй и тунеядец😂!!!

Мы все ждали! И оно того стоило.

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks, Mario! Happy to hear that!!!

Where can I buy that light?

@@mcabassa70 you can purchase them anywhere, try Amazon you can search "light wand" there are several brands! Hope this helps.

I loved your profile pic Mario, it looks really charismatic and charming

@@ilkemagic7721 Thank you so much! You are very kind :)

Hey mate. That's a great question. It's more something that I would have corrected in postproduction. But I outsource all of my editing so that's not really in my wheelhouse, I'm afraid.

That’s really kind, thanks Christopher

So fantastic, thanks for watching!

You are so welcome

Thank you!

Thanks, Jerry!

Great question. It's all in how I work out what my exposure will be (which I do every time I photograph in a new scene or if the lighting conditions change, of course). I can go into much more detail but I'll (try!) to keep it brief here. I photograph using evaluative (or matrix) metering. When you use evaluative metering, you are just telling your camera what you want it to take into account what it sees the exposure in the viewfinder. That you want it to take the entire frame into account. Not just a specific point (as in the case of spot metering). I also always shoot in manual and that allows me to choose my own ISO, shutter speed and aperture. As you adjust any one of those 3 settings you will see your in-camera meter moving accordingly. The classic example that I like to give is that if you are photographing a black cat on a black rug and you are shooting in aperture priority, your camera will see all black and will try to bring the scene back to mid gray (thus overexposing the scene). So whilst shooting in manual, I COULD look at the black subject matter, adjust my ISO, shutter speed and aperture before I take the shot so that the in-camera meter is set to the middle (or zero) point. But I know that the camera is going to see all that of that darkness and want to make it mid grey. Therefore overexposing the image. So I adjust my settings so that the meter moves to the negative side, looking as though it will underexpose the image, but in reality, representing the true colors of the black cat and the black rug. You would face the same situation if you were photographing a polar bear in a snowstorm. If you allowed your camera to determine your exposure automatically, it would see all of the white and want to make it mid grey. But a polar bear isn't mid grey. It's white. So the camera is therefore underexposing it. So if I am in a bright situation with a lot of pale colors I would them have to "compensate" for that by adjusting my settings so my meter moves to the plus side. Looking as though I am overexposing the image, but in reality representing the true colors of the polar bear and snow. The best way to understand this is to go out and practice exactly this scenarios and see what happens to your exposure when you have your camera set to "P" or aperture priority or shutter priority. And then follow the steps above while shooting in manual. Good luck!

Thanks, Kelly!! I use a Manfrotto tripod (this one: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1034139-REG/manfrotto_mt055xpro3_aluminum_tripod.html) along with a Benro tripod here (this one: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1410665-REG/benro_gd3wh_3_way_geared_head.html) . Hope that helps!

@@JerryGhionisPhotography thank you! I really appreciate your response!!

Thanks, Alison. I appreciate that. I am tethered but I'm using something called Blackmagic video assist. It's purely to allow you to see what I see in my viewfinder. So when you see those sections where it looks like you're looking into my camera, that's how we're doing that. It's great for educational purposes.

@@JerryGhionisPhotography Very generous of you to reply Jerry - as swift as you were to reply I worked it out today. I was looking to tether for my macro work hence why I was curious. Really enjoyed, not only this video, but also your 'story images' with the Chanel bag - you're inspirational!

It look like an 85mm 2.8. that's what i think.

I was actually using the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 (Z mount).

You can certainly illuminate someone with one light source but it's common to also use multiple lights on a subject. When you see someone in a movie or a TV show, there will almost always be lights coming from at least 2 directions: one main light to light the subject and one behind to separate them from background. That's very similar to the set up that I had at the end here. If you put the Ice Light in the same direction as the natural light, the light would blend in and perhaps give a little bit more punch and contrast.
