Tony & Chelsea Northrup Thanks! I'll check it out! Great video, btw!

Thanks tony and Chelsea for the lessson your the best .

Tony & Chelsea Northr

Some recomendations for a good cheap flash and trigger which can be used on Sony A6000? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Ladislav svencik the good Chinese Yongnuo flash perhaps? 🤔

I was going to point out this same thing. It's some kind of Rebel, probably a T6i based on the year of the release of the video (T6i was out earlier that year), as well as placement of the dial and the flip screen. Pretty sure lens was the basic 18-55mm lens that comes with those cameras, based on the framing, extension of the lens, and the F-stop it was set at. Might have been the 18-135mm, just couldn't see. Anyone else notice that Tony covers the camera name with his finger at one point?

​@@kevindiaz3459 Have to agree with you and @amberhawke. There's nothing pretentious or financially exclusive. I really like the videos these guys create. Plus Tony could do meditation audio recordings. His voice is very mellow, controlled and nicely paced. Hey Tony! New job for you ;)

He is showing different pictures though...

@@randomdsfhqe I noticed that too, poses from Chelsea were always different. I hope they were from the same gear though...

I thought am the only one that noticed it lol

Haha, right ? I didn't think she looked pissed off, just thoroughly and completely bored by it all... stifled yawn at 2:52, lol

Agree.Just a little curious why he didn't mention that aperture is really the key adjustment for the amount of flash light (I mean vs. ISO - obviously flash power output is the other) and shutter speed is the key for ambient light. So good practice to start at f5.6, s/s 125, ISO 100, flash power... depends on circumstances, but I like 1/8th to start and make little adjustments from there.This is particularly true with APS-C, or cropped sensor cameras because they will by their nature tend to introduce more noise due to the smaller sensor as compared to a full frame with the same amount of available light. Therefore raising the ISO isn't the first thing I'd want to be doing. If you have a full frame camera, then sure - crank the ISO up without worry.

@@TheOlandex He's using aperture to control Depth of Field (DoF). To do so with portraiture I usually work between f/5.6 to f/11 with "full frame" and usually f/5.6 to f/8 with APS-C. For me, f/11 in APS-C would be OK but it brings background into sharper focus with the focal lengths I use and I'd have to knowingly accept that. Even with full-frame the goal was f/8 and with APS-C (in a Sony) f/5.6 is just as good. Open up further and you may not have enough DoF, especially in closeups. How much DoF you want is an artistic and aesthetic decision with regard to the portrait - my usual mode is front to back apparent sharpness of the head with it falling off behind it. The first thing to go in DoF with wider aperture is the hair on the side of the head. Go even wider and it's even shallower. You can lose the tip of the nose - or if you're doing broad or short side with the head slightly turned, you can even lose the low (fill) side eye. Aperture not only controls amount of light, it controls DoF, which is a function of format (sensor size), aperture, subject distance, and print enlargement. The latter often gets lost in the shuffle, but a 16x20 will have shallower DoF than an 8x10, which will be shallower than a 5x7. Viewing distance doesn't back up much until you're bigger than the 16x20. Been there, done that, and I've installed gallery shows. Given the other factors typically don't have much wiggle room - distance and focal length and the commonly ordered print sizes larger than 4x5 or 4x6 proofs (5x7 to 11x14), aperture choice has the greatest amount of DoF control. The film era was more constraining with ISO choice, which was made before the shoot with the film being loaded - unless you wanted to short-roll (wastes $ for the unused film on the roll) and reload with a different ISO - say going from Portra 160 to Portra 400, or vice versa, and were willing to accept more grain with a higher ISO (the digital issue with higher ISO is more noise). One worked within more constraints. It's all trade-offs. Portra 160 was my first choice in film. I would make do with 400 provided there weren't going to be any huge enlargements like a 16x20 but wanted no faster than that (i.e. Portra 800) as the grain became was too much for my taste and it limited enlargement to 8x10 at the most. Tony is using f/5.6 to maintain sufficient DoF on Chelsea's head - with the focus point on the eye's pupil. He didn't discuss the aperture selection aspect of it and might have been good to do so up front. I see most recently, a drive to portraiture wide open - ostensibly for the bokeh, but the trade-off is a DoF that's no more than a fraction of an inch in a typical portrait (APS to full-frame sensor size, slightly longer than normal focal length, and distance from subject for head/shoulders shots). I've rambled some, but hope it gives some insight on aperture choice - and the constraints and trade-offs that choice imposes.

Chelsea doesnt need to say anything.....that pretty face says it all 🙃😋

Dude that guy was in the dog house for sure. lol

I can't even see them even bickering...they both seem really sweet and introverted

@@soverycarrie7626 hahaha Oh yeh! They were bickerin about something!!! She's still so gorgeous!

+Hector Freytes Thanks!

+Tony Northrup I just bought some dirt cheap dôrr 120 watts flashes and its fun to use!I will also buy some reflectors that seems to dispurse a lot of light!

I'm learning so much from you guys, you're doing an wonderful job. Thank you

YES

are you kidding. just get on a mountain top and scream out 'I'm an amateuuuur!!!'

Glad to help!

+enesogroup Thanks!

always failing like a pro ;)

Yes! We want blooper videos!

I know it's a very late reply, but I think in a later video they talked about this video and mentioned that Chelsea wanted to do the lesson, so she was annoyed.

@@AUS-NewbiTLorD do you know the video? Would love to see that lol.

Yes she does look bored, it is like is she is saying "is it over yet"

She wanted to do this video first but they had a big-time fight a night before but since Tony is a stubborn guy he still chooses to be the one doing this video.

Ran Dom old can0n lens

SHe wasnt allowed to speak

Cus Tony just used her favorite crab claw to kill a lens.

Chelsea caught Tony focusing on a model.

I was thinking the same thing. she looks good though!

+oasisbeyond She must have been tired or bored. She tried to mask her yawning, but failed. For example at 2:49 and 4:26. :D

Hi Chelsea

She's always quiet in "model mode" that I've seen. For me, if she did talk, it would be distracting from the tutorial. I think they are a great team. #relationshipgoals

Michael Booini haha nice one..... :P (That's his wife and co-author of the channel, though)

I know... Doesn't change anything...

Looks like they might have had a bit of a tiff before shooting lol.

I totally have been thinking that the whole time watching this video. She definitely had something better to do and Tony must have interrupted her.

Great video tho

i thought that and yes, all his vids are quit good :)

ätzend die alte

Tony definitely did something to tick her off earlier in the day. Boy, do I know that look... =O

+oasisbeyond yes I'm sure that works but who is doing holding up the shirt while you are operating the camera ?

parchment paper stretched over an old picture frame...but you might need a helper!

He said about changing the strength of the on-camera flash. This would mean it's bright enough for the external flash to pick up and fire, but also not bright enough to affect the image. The External flash is brighter and would expose the subject.

Hen John Aha I see, thank you!

You can have them both to combine and create a mixed exposure. If you look into the camera's settings and just have a fiddle about. Don't know much about it as I haven't got one yet. Hoping to get a Nissin i40 and do some test shots.

If the pop up flash negatively affects your photo you can move you hand into the direct beam of light, but be sure to not completely cover the pop up flash obviously. So keep some distance from the pop up flash with your hand. This has downsides because of only being able to held the camera with one hand.

Also bear in mind that flash falls off very quickly. At 6 feet away it will be only 1/36th, or roughly 3% the strength as compared to one foot away. At 7 feet it is 1/49th, or about 2% (inverse square law). You'll need to have enough pop to trigger the off cam flash in slave mode and also a line of sight between camera flash and off-cam flash.Best work around is buy a radio trigger. If you like using flash this is a relatively small investment and you can put that pop-up flash away and forget it was ever created (which I'd recommend). Cheers!

bro this is on budget

"On a budget" and "Canon" can't play together.

You don't know the history of my question. Back in the day they released a video that they don't use any Youngnuo products ever again because they feel like their copying other brands, such as Canon, is too much. Especially the teleconverter looked almost 1:1 identical (google images of both). So they removed all their references to Youngnuo from the buying guide and such. The shitstorm was real and they removed the video. In this video they "publicly" used a Youngnuo flash again. So there you have it ;)

TheKnut I say you have every right to fry them in bacon grease. 🙄

if the girl doesn't like the photo, there is no way in hell shes allowing you to use it. #1 lesson to relationship'ing.

Shubham Vedpathak yep noticed same thing

+Jim McDowell LMAO!

+Jim McDowell I was going to say the same thing, though I thought I'd look through the comments first, and 2 comments down, there you were! ;-) Agreed!

+F Fighter Think she is just thinking about random stuff ;)

She's mad at him for wearing that sweater...

+Ryan Wilson (Opnekryan) Lol :p

You've never been to Tony's house.... The locals just refer to it as, "Where dragons live."

+Bob Swaggett No...he needs to smoke more!

+Bob Swaggett 👍

+nagol5178 Who gives a shit? It's still good, solid info. That's all I care about. Don't know about anyone else (except you, clearly).

+nagol5178 And when ya left the party ya should NOT have been driving! We KNOW ya were juiced beyond any level of safety! TONY and his beaustiful bride KNOW WTF they are doing Pablo. Accept it and move on ..... and on ...... and on ...... and ON. 'KAY'?

I don't think she likes modeling, she does photography as well. It was a great video.

Thanks!
