How you only have 8k subscribers is beyond me. Literally in each and every one of your videos I learn something new. Thank you so much for demystifying lighting (and everything else) for the rest of us. Your videos should be in some sort of "Library of Alexandria" for photographers and cinematographers. Thank you Brandon, you are truly a hidden gem of YT...and hopefully not for long.

You are very generous. Best lighting course on KZread. Thank you so very much

What makes your videos so amazing is that they give us information that we didn't even know we need. I've been researching for about a week on how to buy a light, and I've learn more in the nine minutes and 4 seconds of watching this video. Hope you keep making videos Edited* Ok i just finished the whole video and I am even more amazed. Peter McKinnon has nothing on you.

this is amazing! super informational and you explain it so simply! thanks

Thank you. I saved $$$ in lights for my work after listening to your math. Super helpful!

Thanx for the valuable infirmation I was searching for this Gordox SL60W and reviews i got was bad but now after watching your video i have a second thought

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *📽️ Différences entre Flash et Lumière Continue* - Les principes fondamentaux de la lumière s'appliquent à la fois à la lumière continue et au flash. - Les principales différences résident dans la visibilité, la température de couleur, la luminosité et le contrôle créatif. - La visibilité du flash est limitée à sa durée d'éclair, tandis que la lumière continue est constamment visible. 01:22 *💡 Température de couleur et Luminosité* - Les sources de lumière continue offrent généralement un choix entre température de couleur tungstène ou équilibrée pour la lumière du jour. - Les flashes ont une température de couleur fixe autour de 5500 degrés Kelvin. - Les flashes ont une luminosité plus élevée que la plupart des lumières continues, ce qui leur permet de dominer la lumière ambiante. 03:11 *🎨 Contrôle Créatif* - Les flashes offrent plus de flexibilité pour geler le mouvement dans des scènes d'action grâce à leur courte durée d'éclair. - Les lumières continues nécessitent souvent des vitesses d'obturation plus rapides pour capturer le mouvement, ce qui exige des sources lumineuses plus puissantes. - En photographie à haute vitesse, les flashes offrent des avantages en gelant le mouvement de manière plus efficace que les lumières continues. 05:56 *🔍 Conclusion et Aperçu* - Les flashes et les lumières continues ont des différences distinctes, mais chacun a ses avantages selon le contexte et les besoins du photographe. - Les vidéos suivantes de la série exploreront les avantages de la lumière continue et ce qu'il faut rechercher lors de l'achat d'une source lumineuse continue. - La lumière continue peut être un choix privilégié pour la photographie ou la vidéo, offrant une constance et une prévisualisation directe des effets d'éclairage.

Nice explanation. I think viewers would be interested in why you chose Profoto lights and Godox modifiers. All wrapped in the quality of light discussion.

Thank you! I think you're right, with the amount of time I spend taking b-roll shots of the flashes, it makes sense to explain why I have them given how expensive they are. I originally bought them for reliability and consistency's sake in high-pressure conditions as I used to shoot weddings full time. When switching to food photography, I just decided to keep them.

Just wow.

Another thing about the inverse square law is that the distance from the camera and the subject also apply. This is why if you're shooting in broad daylight, something way in the background can be noisy even at 100 ISO. It's because the amount of light reaching the camera from that object is many times less, and low enough that the minimum amount of photons needed to saturate a photo site beyond the read noise level, is not reached. Nothing that can really be done about it other than shooting bracketed, but it's one of those little facts that can explain why despite best efforts, noise can still be present even in the best of camera's.

thnaks for the vid ,i have that sl60w great light, also i have a flash the godox 685 ' but can't find any CRI info about it

hello, can i ask how much shutter speed can i get with ISO 100 with godox sl60W (with diffuser) in 1 metre ? lets say in f/4 thanks :)

Off the top of my head I don't think you can get any shutter speed faster than 1/50th. But I'm not completely sure.

in the previous video you said you'll tell pros of cont light in this. other than being able to "see" the shot, what is other important pro?

Can you make a video with constant light but with a splash? Thanks for the vid my friend

lol ok I watched this at 2x speed but that’s because I’ve already seen a ton of lighting videos from Caleb at DSLR Video Shooter , Curtis Judd, Aputure and others. Alright, now I can watch part three.

how about the lux comparison between panel leds and single source led like the Godox VL150 versus the GVM672S... I am having doubts about the lux stated in the GVM672S specs. I have that light and am thinking if I should get the Godox VL150 cause the GVM isn't bright enough for me at some situations...

@figandlight

4 жыл бұрын

Hey David, I'm not familiar with the GVM672S, but it looks like it has a lux output of 22000 at around 20 inches. that may sound good, but I'm thinking for farther distances it doesn't throw as much light well enough which might be why you feel skeptical about the light. I actually have the VL 200 and it's a great light, very bright! If you can pick up the VL 150, I'd say go for it, but in terms of how it compares to the GVM, I don't think I can say if it'll be better or not.

I loved your video!! You made it so easy to understand, even using math!! Lol.... I'm a food blogger, who's not making any income yet. I've just started into this world of blogging and photography. So I'm planning on buying a cheap light for now, until I can make some money and upgrade. I found 2 light kits at Amazon that I'm really interested in buying... Could you help me with a question?? The two of them are 5600K, cri 96+, and use led lights, but one is lux: 3360/m and the other is 3960/m. I was about to buy the one with higher lux, but then I realized that it comes with a white diffuser, that is attached really close to the light, while the other one with lower lux is about $30 more expensive, but comes with a small soft box. The soft box is not one of those big ones, that are open wide, but maybe it's better than none at all?? I did find another one for the same price($150) that has those big difusers, but the cri is between 85-90. So I don't know which one would be better for me... All of them come with two lights and stand. For now I'll go with continuous light, because I'm planning on also making videos. Could you help me with this decision?? Thank you so much!!!! I'll put the link below, in case you want to check them out... And thank you so much again for the video!! I'll share it in the food blog comunity that I'm in! (We are more than 6.000 bloggers) I'm sure they'll like it too!! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXRQ83V/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A246LHV6G8MKKO www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077PZM382/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3VCR7ULIQW54W www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KC5X5H4/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2L2IBCOJNQSLR

Hey Lilian! I would still go with the one with higher lux value. A diffuser close to the light doesn't necessarily mean it will give you softer light (if this is what you're going for), the most it will do is cut down the brightness even more. The advantage of higher lux values is it allows you to compensate for any factors that contribute to light loss like adding diffusers or gels or distance or if you need to bounce the light, which can cut brightness significantly, having a really bring light can help compensate for that loss. I'm not exactly sure what you're going for in looking for a light, but to cover all potential grounds, I would say to pick the light with the highest possible lux value and a high CRI. I wouldn't worry about which modifiers it comes with because it'll rarely give you the kind of light you're thinking about. The principle is that It's the size of the light source that creates soft light, which can easily be DIY'd or bought separately in terms of a scrim/diffuser. And as for the 85-90 CRI light, I wouldn't bother with it. Accurate colors in food photography I think is non-negotiable haha. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions! and thanks for giving me a shout out in the group! I really appreciate it.

Very helpful video, just one question. What do you think about Nanlite Forza 300 for photography for products and food

@figandlight

3 жыл бұрын

I've only heard about this light from other youtubers, but it seems like a great light! on BH it says it's around 4000 lux at 3m. The godox VL 300 says it's 77,000 lux at 1m which is equivalent to around 8500 lux at 3m, so if my math is right, the godox is more than twice the brightness and $250 cheaper than the Nanlite. It does seem the nanlite does win in the CRI category with a rating of 98 as opposed to 96 in the godox. But that difference is probably negligible. These are just estimates based on stats though! I've never tested this light so it may be much better than how I'm making it sound to be.

Hello. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this. But I have a Godox SL 150 ll. Can you tell me on what power I put it at? I saw this video and it said it simply means the amount of electricity consumed. So that does mean I just have to put it at a 50?

I think Brandon is on a hiatus for the past 6 months. I wish he gets back soon. As for your q, I think you should just try it out yourself. =) A lot of great reviews on the SL 150 ii. This channel also has a video on using the VL200, you can check that out. I don't think anyone has to tell you the exact values though, you can see what works for your type of photography. Cheers!
