    The one without the card brings out the tone better. Post editing would solve the shadowing

    The tiny card is garbage. You need something larger to bounce a better quality of light back into your subject.

    Actually, all of the pictures look pretty bad. Tons of shadows on her eyes. Just not the kind of picture that makes a model happy Moreover, I don't know why, but a lot of concert photographers think they can "bounce" their flash into black 30 foot ceilings.

    All the pictures are pretty underexposed to me. I think about 2/3 of a stop more power would have made them look a lot better. And yes, I don’t know why some photographers think bouncing off really high black ceilings is something worth doing lol.

    f/5.6 9 is 0.01 stop off f/5.7 not f/8. F/5.6 is the value you should have used.

  • @jasonbodden8816
    @jasonbodden88169 күн бұрын

    He changed it himself. Because he was using flash to light her he no longer needed such a high ISO of 4000. Flash is much stronger than continuous/ambient/natural light so he brought his ISO down as the natural light was no longer his main light source.

    I'm a college professor and when I made these videos I had a very talented student that shot and edited the videos. I'm currently looking for another student to fill her shoes. I'm a little too busy to do it all myself. Thank you for the complement and I appreciate the support. This lets me know that the content is valued and I will push to get more videos uploaded!

    Lots of times you can but it’s MUCH better to get the lighting the way you want it - or as close as you possibly can - in the photo shoot. Don’t rely on postproduction to fix your lighting…..unless you’re underexposing on purpose to get a certain look in post processing later.

    Everything made sense except one thing and I'm wondering if you can explain. For the 2:1 ratio, you indicated that we needed less light on the second light and that made sense, but you indicated that going from f/8 to f/5.6 reduced light by 1 stop. Doesn't f/5.6 give a stop of light more than f/8? It made sense to take the flash from 1/16 to 1/32 because that reduces the light...I just didn't understand how going from f/8 to f/5.6 was reducing light since an aperture of 5.6 gives more light than an aperture of f/8. Thank you for the clarification

  • @raywatts5702
    @raywatts57022 ай бұрын

    When the second light power is reduced by half (1 stop) the exposure meter reading shifts from f/8 to f/5.6 in order to maintain the correct exposure with the light at the reduced power. However, the actual photo would be taken at f/8 with both flashes operating, the first flash provides full exposure on one side of the bottle and the second light half exposure on the other side of the bottle resulting in the 2:1 ratio.

    I was taught that butterfly lighting was when you cast 2 head shadows on the wall, looking like butterfly wings. I saw a moron covering my cousin's wedding on a 35mm Mamiya 500 DTL with a flash on each side. It wasn't till later that I noticed he had them plugged into the wrong sync. He later blamed the lab.

    When I was training 50 years ago, I was taught to take meter readings as you describe. Pointing the meter at the camera so that the meter records the light that the camera will see being reflected from the subject. Yet, I see so many videos of the light meter being pointed at the light... surely this is not correct?

  • @jasonbodden8816
    @jasonbodden88169 күн бұрын

    Just use your eyes lol. You really just have to take test shots until you like what you see. Don’t overthink it. If the flash is too dark on your subject, raise the power; if it’s too bright, lower the power. There are a couple things you do need to be aware of but they’re not difficult, don’t worry: - When using flash, your pictures have TWO exposures - the ambient light exposure and the flash exposure. Before you even turn on your flash, you get the ambient light exposure how you want it to look first then get the flash exposure on your subject how you want it. When using Manual flash, if the distance from the light to your subject changes, YOU have to adjust the flash power yourself. The flash will not automatically adjust it for you. You got this, bud. Just keep practising 🙂👊🏻
