Great video just what I need to know ,thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Why do you show up at a wedding looking all scrungy and hair all messed up ? I think that is totally disrepectful.. The photos look horrible btw. it look like you flashed them right in the face all blown out white and all that. If it were my wedding i would ask for my money back.
With new strobe systems that are available now not having to use pocket wizards I’m kind of interested in seeing if you’ve changed up systems? And if so are you going to update the wedding photography series?
Curious if you're still using Nikon or switched to Godox
this is pretty dated now, my how tech has grown
Changing your aperture is a good technique to get bracketed exposures. I'm thinking of setting the camera to bracket mode anyway to use shutter drag instead, which will mix ambient lights in some shots. Experimentation is needed.
13:17 Every photographer's nightmare venue for using bounce flash.
Crazy how 3200 and 6400 ISO was on the brink of unusable back then. We really are blessed now lol
hi all bro
I hope you are able to answer this comment – how do you SET your lights (M or TTL) and how do you set your camera? (Aperture priority? Manual?) Thanks BUNCHES!
nice for me and all bro
What do you use that you can crank iso to 3200 on still images and not have it full of grain?
It's amazing how far triggers have come compared to when this video was made.
this is awesome . I have one question when to use strobe lights at reception?
nice video but I imagine some of the technology has improved since then for setting up multiple flashes but the technique doesn't change
If you like woodworking, just look for Woodprix plans.
With the godox x pro trigger you can control also the power of your speedlite
Muchas gracias
What does he mean when he says “once he white balances correctly for his gelled flash”…? If you put a gel onto the flash, then wouldn’t adjusting the white balance cancel it out? …..Also, if you have the flash only backlighting the subject, can’t it throw off the camera meter? Like, the meter will think it’s exposed correctly and then when you fire the camera a flash goes off right in the frame that wasn’t there before when the camera was metering. I would think that would throw it off.
With a Magmod and 1/30 second setup you make better pictures than these
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Why not Velcro the pocket wizard to on camera flash? Dangling would really bug me
Sometimes there are receptions where a decorator team spent countless hours creating a certain ambiance. You certainly don't want to blast it all away with the flashes. Selective flash firing is key in these situations.
what is the temperature setting i should put the light on?
this was awesome!!!! shooting a wedding in a barn and this was it!!!! first wedding shoot !!! wish me luck!!!!
Just show me the gear I need and where to put them. I don't need to hear all the technical stuff
hi i can do the same thing (4:24) with my yongnou speed lights and it is much more price effective
Who is the guy teaching about how to handle lighting that barn? I like the way he thinks… I wish I had seen this one before we shot at Dubsdread in Orlando. I loved and hated that place. Better yet, the barns in Knoxville!! Gah!! Who is this guy…? He has changed my life.
im from 2019
Can you update this for GODOX?
Awesome work
Wow, at fifteen that stand got really tall. It has got to get knocked over.
Can you please show a link to all the lights & gears you're talking about? Thank you so much!
What size brolly would you recommend?
Interesting, but so outdated…
This is super helpful. Thank you!!
Hi can i ask whats the name of that big light that you are using ? Thanks..big bug help
What white balances are used when shooting indoors?
Are you guys not concerned people might trip over your stands and break your flashes? I would imagine when people are celebrating and dancing really hard it can hardly be avoided.
Anyone know if group C, from the barn set up, has a light modifier?
so much overkill for weddings, plus totally distracting for guest
If you fire studios into the ceiling will the lighting be flat resulting in the lighting not pulling the subjects off the background?
