Thanks Mark. You went through the setup between camera and laptop, what is the connection between laptop and monitor? Is it as simple as a HDMI cable or similar??

@MarkWallaceVideos

It’s a thunderbolt 3 connection. That monitor also powers the laptop. It’s my favorite external monitor I’ve ever owned. The monitor also has USB-C ports for hard drives and other devices. Click the product link in the description for all the specs.

@@MarkWallaceVideos fantastic thankyou !!

While doing OCF do you typically point your light directly at the model's face to light up his/ her face? I ask because when I use my flash most times the light is too much on the face or way less on the face.

After all these tethered shoots or non - tethered shoots all these big-deal fuss, ultimately, your photography must be good. I'm glad I took documentary photography and publishing my pictures all over the world by FTP lol.

Thanks Mark. Do you have a solution for portrait photography where the camera is placed on the tripod in a portrait position, not horizontal. I want to use the camera full sensor when doing portraits, in portrait view. When tethering, the photos come into lightroom classic in a horizontal view therefore the person in the portrait photo is on their side on my monitor. I need the photos to come into LR via tethering as portrait view. I tried making a preset with the rotate photo function, but this rotate function is not saved in the preset because it is not actioned via the crop toll. Can you help me please?

Hi Lisa, turning on auto rotate ("rotate tall" on the Nikon D750) should tell LR to rotate the images. I've talked with several Nikon shooters and they haven't had the issues with images not rotating. However, LR does have issues with some Nikon cameras. You may want to take a look at Smart Shooter as it fixes all of those issues. Let me know if you get things sorted out!

Hi Mark, I have tried the rotation function on the camera. Nikon 750D. Sadly it does not solve my problem.

I shoot tethered to a large monitor ss well. I do not have the monitor facing the model for the entire shoot. i find too many models are distracted by having the monitor visible. Instead, after we've shot a few images of each setup we'll review them together so we both know what we're capturing. It works for me ... and the models.

That’s a very good point. Sometimes less is more.

Hey mark, i still use my 5d markiv by canon and most of the time (not always) when i start tethering the images are coming into lightroom but after a few shots the camera or lightroom just stops importing. 😑 I use a macbook M3 pro, firmware of the camera is up to date. I just don't know how to solve this issue. i was hoping your experience maybe has a solution?

It could be your cable. If it’s long with no booster or sending power, it can have issues. What are you using?

Is it possible to use Live View and see it on either the computer or the second monitor?

That depends on the camera and a few things. With TetherTools Smart Shooter you can always use Live View. I'm doing some research to help answer that question for a future video. Stay tuned...

Just wanted to jump in here with some additional info on this question. Smart Shooter 5 will allow you to have the Live View as an independent floating window. That window can then be positioned anywhere on screen, including on a secondary monitor. The same is true for any window in Smart Shooter 5. Each can function as a floating window and can be positioned anywhere on screen. Alternately, windows can be docked together for a custom workspace that reflects your preferred layout. Hope that helps!

@@Tethertools that’s awesome. You definitely can’t do that in LR

Extra monitor can be a good, but if the model sees herself, is the final photo her vision of herself and photographer just press the shutter button? Just something to keep in mind.

@MarkWallaceVideos

Ай бұрын

It's rarely the final photo when I'm shooting. It's just a reference to help the model understand what's happening and a close approximation of the final image. There's still professional post-production required. Blemish removal, tonality adjustments, etc.

Smart Shooter is a great tool for doing just that. I'm working on some videos to dive into it based on all the questions I've been getting.

Adobe needs to rebrand Lightroom Classic as Lightroom Pro. Don’t make me feel old when I’m doing professional work. The other one should be Lightroom Lite or Basic or whatever.
