Great video Seth Miranda! Wow closing the umbrella and bring it close to the subject is almost a a soft light snoot. Thank you for all you share with us all!

Seth Thank you😊. You have for me perfectly articulated the effects of inverse square, size of light, power and light shaping. Your shots perfectly reflected all the concepts you put forth.
Thanks for moving this video to your KZread channel. Didn't think I'd last through the video, short attention span. I learned so much about umbrella use, again thanks.
Hi Seth! I lived in Canada for a while... before Tim Hortons sold to the big restaurant chains, their coffee was much better than it is now. I liked their coffee a lot... not any longer. Great video! Thanks, Seth

Hi Seth, I’ve seen you live at Imaging USA and of course on KZread, Twitch, etc. just wanted to say that you’re an excellent educator! I always like how you keep things real and down to earth. I like that you explain the why for the advice and tips that you provide.

Tim Hortons standard coffee is the best! I buy it by the pound for the house. Worth it, much better than that Folgers crap. Hey finding all these old videos of yours - good stuff!
Tim Horton's is just middle of the road for donuts.
Interesting how much variance in color temperature from that light and umbrella.
@LastXwitness

Yea abywhere the light leaves last is the source so some lights are cooler in tone to compensate for some modifiers being warmer. Personally I’d rather neutral lights and I’ll adjust based on IF I modify it
Great review of basics to learn from, I own a shoot through and still havent used it. May get the chance the next couple of weeks since I'm still off work. #adorama #createnomatterwhat

Great video Seth. A quick question: I own the Amaran P60C LED panel. Do you think using a large, white umbrella as a diffuser might deliver a softer light than the rectangular one provided by the manufacturer? Thanks, Stefano
@LastXwitness

Softer lights gonna be dictated by the size so if you’re asking for softer think which one would give you a bigger source in relation to your subject at the distance you set it at
Hey Seth :) :) I saw this video But I am glad to revisit this subject !!!! I see in Your Vids that You have perfectly (from what I have seen) nearly never missed focus :) :) If You would do a video on Your Focusing Techniques and Options, of the Z cameras (I have a Z6II) ....... I would really appreciate it !!!!!!!!!!! I find all of Your Videos enlightening and fun ..... ThankYou
