Love Olga and the A9 III
Oddly enough you did not share the fact one must send the creation to adobe's creative cloud to use this feature, thus giving adobe total access to their work.
By stating "oddly enough you did not share" makes it sound like it was intentional? I assume you are referring to the updated 'terms of use' issue, which I didn't even know about when making this video because the controversy happened two weeks *after* I published this video.
💪💪💪💪😍😍😍
So when the sun is behind then you should expose for the background? Or should under expose them 2 stops? Good video thank you
Maybe I missed it but at some point isn’t your shutter faster than the flash duration time?
Yes, see 3:32 🙂
@@NeilRedfernthanks!
Great Video!!
Thank you very much 🤗
You stated 1/80000s, but do you mean 1/8000s? I saw you take photographs at 1/16000s but that is the max. Almost no flash can keep up with that shutterspeed at 1/80000s.
I did indeed mean 1/80,000 - it's crazy! And my AD200 could do it. This is why I state in the video that the A9III is revolutionary
@@NeilRedfern I thought the only flashes that would keep up were Broncolors. But that's a great achievement from Sony and Godox.
@@NildoScoopthe beauty of the A9III is that any light can sync at 1/80,000s, not just Godox.
@@NeilRedfern The shortest flash duration of AD200 is 1/13000 sec at 1/128 power. At 1/1 power the t 0.1 is 1/300 sec. That means you loose a lot of the light when shooting at 1/80000 sec shutterspeed. You would get all of the t 0.1 flash in the exposure if not using shorter speed than 1 /13000. But you will get more if you can adjust the sync so that the exposure hit the 1/80000 peak of flash light. 🙂
Neil, have you considered, changing your identity and running off with the A9iii? Seriously, I'm waiting for your video on DR etc, but so far, it looks a hell of an upgrade
😂😂😂 that's a great idea..... ✈😂
Sie fotografieren doch schon ein paar Jahre. Und wirklich immer wieder tolle Fotos. Und jetzt geht es nicht mehr ohne global shutter? Ich rate zur Vorsicht. Ich schaue wie viele gerne ihre Videos. Sollte aber zukünftig das Credo heißen,das was sie hier sehen klappt nur mit einer a9III, würden sich wohl die meisten Zuschauer woanders umschauen.
Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar und für das Ansehen meiner Videos :) Bitte machen Sie sich keine Sorgen - ich besitze nicht einmal einen A9iii. Ich denke jedoch, dass es immer wichtig ist, meinen Zuschauern zu zeigen, welche Technologie verfügbar ist und was sie leisten kann, denn das ist die Zukunft. So wie wir von DSLR auf spiegellose Systeme umgestiegen sind, bin ich mir sicher, dass wir in ein paar Jahren alle auf Global Shutter umsteigen werden. Allerdings besitze ich im Moment auch keinen Global Shutter :-)
Ich schätze ihre Arbeit wirklich sehr.😁 Und ich verstehe natürlich das uns neue Technik interessiert und das sie uns das Leben leichter machen kann. Schließlich arbeite ich selbst mit einer Z9. Aber es ist doch schön das wir als Fotografen den entscheidenden Unterschied machen. 🤓 Ich freue mich auf viele weitere tolle Videos von Ihnen.
Neil my Nikon Z8 is on order for my birthday ….. I was VERY HAPPY … STOP MAKING VIDEOS ! Hahaha! The Z8 is $4700 Canadian… the A9-3 is 6 or 7k USA $$$ so 5 trillion Canada $$. STOP THE INSANITY! Noooooooo ( but secretly YES )
❤👌👌👌👌🌸🌸🌸🌸💝💝💝💝🤝🤝🤝🤝💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🌸🌸✨✨✨✨👍👍👍💕💕👏👏👏👏
Nice video. Glad you show the flash capabilities of the A9III. I shot more than 40'000 pictures in the past 4 month in sports and concerts and more than 1000 with flash at dance and sports exhibitions. GS is the way to go. I have tested it with Godox V1, Broncolor Satos 3200 and Sony HVL-F60RM2 flashes. With only 60/70 Joule of flash energy of the SONY HVL-F60RM2 or Godox V1, you can shoot more than 20 Pic/s at 1/256, ISO 250, f/1.8 and 1/80000. With the Broncolor Satos 3200, I even shot more than 60 Pic/s in fast action dance and sports. It's just mind blowing. If you want to avoid the flash timing settings for the various shutter speeds, use the SONY HVL-F60RM2. I use 3 of them in both manual und TTL mode and switch on wireless flash. You can also see and control all the flash settings directly on the display or view finder. I know several wedding photographers, that are now using this combo on several tripods.
this is beautiful work.. Worth all the walking and almost softbox disaster :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Paul!
Olga the grate . what a camera .
I agree!
Super masterpies!!!🔥👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Awesome pictures. 🔥🔥🔥Big fan. But how come you didn’t use the MagMod XL as your softbox?
Thank you very much! The MagMod XL is cool and I use it on my Godox AD400, but the point of this video is that you no longer need the power of the 400 with the global shutter of the A9III as the AD200 is more than enough - so no need for the larger modifiers :)
@@NeilRedfern I should have known that. Lol. 🤦🏻♂️. Keep up the great work sir.
Hi Neil- Impressive! Question- Understand the extreme exposure you got in camera before flash (ambient really dark) - you flashed Olga @ 1/64000 but your sky was evenly exposed....Did you blend ? thx
Thank you very much Steve! You can see all the RAW files in the video, when it came to the editing, all these were made up of single images, I didn't use any composites. I hope that helps?
I reeeeaaaallllly want one!!!! 😖
So do I! 😂😂😂
It's surprising how little there is online regarding the flash use at weddings. Personally what you gain is not worth what I would loose from my A1 so I will not be getting one (I bought my A1 after the release of the A9MKIII). I am looking forward to the new body design being used on future bodies as my A1 feels like a block of wood in the hand.
I agree! The fact that the A9III means we no longer need high-speed sync is HUGE. The A1 is an amazing camera too - there is no right or wrong choice between the two, it just depends on what your priorities in a camera are. Either way it is great to see Sony innovating like this and showing us what is possible
@@NeilRedfern I do wish Sony would release a lower end stacked sensor camera thats more inline with the price of a Z8. Same body and AF as the A9MKIII with a stacked sensor and normal shutter with 1/400 flash sync and a 36MP sensor. I think it would outsell both the A9MKIII and A1
Brilliant what you can achieve at those speeds I can seethe macro community rushing to try it aswell ! look forward to the next video.
Thank you Pat! It is crazy, I couldn't get my head around the fact I was shooting at such fast shutter speeds and the flash appeared to be so powerful! It's very exciting
Stop it Neil ffs. I’m skint enough already 😂
Haha, you and me both! But this is the biggest advancement in photography (if you like flash!) since mirrorless imo 😬
@@NeilRedfern I’m so incredibly tempted, but I’m holding out for the A1 mkii and hope it has it.
Picture the world underexposed. I love that. Creative juices are flowing. Thank you!
I am so pleased to hear that! Thank you
Has anybody seen a similar lesson but using davinci resolve instead?
Some photographers recommend using ND filters vs High Speed Sync to overcome flash sync speed issue. Could you comment?
A ND filter would do a good job in this situation so they are a good option. Personally I don't use them because, as a wedding photographer, I am used to working very fast in limited time, but there is certainly nothing wrong with using one :)
You can use all youre sony lenses on nikon z, just need an adaptor, the focus works perfect.
Thank you very much for letting me know :)
Hello for Los Angeles! Thanks for the video, for my next wedding I’ll try taking the 24” definitely looking and hoping to get creative with it

Wow Excellent 😀❤
excelente guía y muy especifico, sobre todo para aquellos que nos gusta aprender en acción y practica aun teniendo el contenido teórico ..Genial !!
Your technic is so simple but results are amazing,love your job!
New sub. Great photos. I'm just wondering why you didn't go below 200 ISO on these photos?
This is an amazing shot and educative video

Your cat 🐈⬛ 🥰🥰🥰
Quick and very effective. I also love the 42-incher, the quality of light and amount of contrast you can achieve with a grid is almost unbeatable. Beautiful work Neil, as always. 👏
I love your photos, I hope to be as good as you some day..
How wonderful you are, man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what do you mean canon or sony... ?? my 850 will blow your sony out the water... specs and all
hello I can see the option on my Lightroom - any advice please?
Cool
Honestly photoshop beta was great when it first came out, not it’s ridiculous. It’s like it doesn’t know anything and giving you weird results.and anything that shows more skin it doesn’t generate anything saying you violated their rules
No poltergeist behind the backdrop, perfect. :-D
Hi Neil, brilliant videos. Where can I get the pole that you use to hold your mag octabox from - looked everywhere.
It is not the best portrait lens in the world, its not even close - however it is probably Nikon's best portrait lens
As usual:fantastic!like your job
Wow! Thank you so much for all these tips! Your work is awesome !
My pleasure - thank you so much!
that cute cat needs to be included in all future videos 🥰 very nice and informative video Neil, thanks a lot for sharing it with us, outstanding images in any way
Thank you so much! And I will try and convince Mabel to star in more videos 😂
@@NeilRedfern you`re very welcome man, and yes talk to Mabel please 😂❤
How well they work together Neil! And we demand a Mabel shoot!
Haha, you've given me an idea.....! Watch this space 😂
@@NeilRedfern here we go!! :)
Hi Neal! As always awesome video! Question if task is to darken all scene and light only couple is it possible to use shoot through umbrella in tight space? Putting it very close.
Thank you very much! Good question - I would expect an umbrella to create beautiful light as the ligh😀t source is very large, but also more light spill - so I imagine it would work great outside but maybe tricky inside if you want to control the light. But I have never used an umbrella so I am only guessing. It would definitely be worth trying 😊
@@NeilRedfern thank you. Probably it has to be tested.
I always love your style. Im not looking to shoot weddings, but portraits and maybe boudoir soon. Your videos are a gem and very helpful. The one question I have right now is, is the flash pointed directly at them, or do you have it feathered across them? Its always so hard to tell. Thanks in advance for your reply Neil. Keep it up !!!!
Thank you very much! Great question, in this video the light was pointing at them but I do love to feather the light and the light created using that technique can be stunning so I would suggest trying both ways to see which works best for you, but both would work great - the main thing is having the light source large and close
