Photography Tutorial Beyond the Basics (Inverse Square Law)

[AF0093]

Is this inverse law just for indoors/studio lighting? So then basically the further you are from the light source the better exposure and brighter it will be and the closer you are from the light source the darker and underexposed it will be? Is this what it is? And do I really have to know all the math that comes with it or just the actual concept?

[FontanaKnowledge]

@AF0093 I think you have it all backwards. The closer to the light = brighter. The further away = darker. It applies to all light sources. knowing the principles will help you in your photography and it is very simple math.  Double and quadruple the Shutter or aperture when needed, or move the light by double distances and whatnot. Simple to apply once you know the concepts.

i loved it

[MrCGangsta]

nice tutorials but pls cut your hair ;)

[jakevin2005]

thank you I started shooting in church and I have learned much from you thank you... your awsome and keep it up GOD BLESS YOU .,,,,,

[Supiripanto]

Your teaching style is very good and friendly, though, in this particular case, I would have loved a diagram to ilustrate the explanation

One thing for sure, is that I'll need to watch this video several times, to fully understand the concept. I'll write in case of doubts :D

[rrusd]

I always like your videos. I have learned a LOT form you. Keep up the awesome work. Thank You!

[Infocorner1]

I really liked how you clearly you had explained the concept. We need more people like you

You were great on the Tonight Show bro..crossing over to t.v.????

These tutoriorals are incredibly informative. There are two components to photography: 1.) The SCIENCE of Photograghy and 2.) The ART of Photography. These workshop videos stress both areas and I love that. I appreciate how he explains that there are rules and perameters to follow for many different variables in photography. Even more so I appreciate his emphasis on individuality and creativity. I believe both skills(among many others) are needed in this field to be successful. Thanx.

@2:15 "to go 8 times less light is now 4 stops away..." I might be confused and thinking light ratio but between each full f/stop is 2x the light right? so 8 times less light is not 4 stops but 3 stops because ie. f/ 8>5.6>4>2.8>2 = 16 times less light because inbetween the stops its (2x) x (2x) x (2x) x (2x) =16. We'd want to be down 3 stops to from f/8 to f/2.8: (2x) x (2x) x (2x) = 8 stops of light.

[FontanaKnowledge]

@Mexico911 You are correct. I was only testing to see who was listening =o) You passed.

@FontanaKnowledge Did I win a free DVD? haha

Hi brother, it's Andy from portraits for humanity do you remember you and I doing some pics at Oasis Church in Redlands? send me your contact info please californiapixels@yahoo.com

[vermamanoj75]

thanks for sharing knowledge, i am a fan of yours

[skelter101]

Great, man!

[vhalen101]

very educational stuff man....good to know and great explanations

[npbradshaw]

Thanks so much for this. Learning a lot from you.

[joseasmain]

I got it. Thanks Teach me some ting about macro photografy.

[joseasmain]

I got it. Thanks

[arhang3l145]

Great upload mannnnnnnnnn...

[TheBbp001]

think I will need to watch this a few moew times, but im sure I will get there in the end

[AndersEPO]

You really got some unike content!! Keep it up. Give us the Gospel ;)

[surferboy36O]

A great example of this law is in the back of a manual flash. The chart that specifies what diafragm to use depending on the distance from the flash to the subject and the sensitivity being used. Whoever doesn't have one should get one right now and start practicing, ALL MANUAL haha! no shortcuts! It´s the best to learn.

Wow, talking about light & physics gives me goosebumps! (or should I say a boner? haha!) Does that mean I'm a geek? Guess so...

[azmuth]

you smell funny.

good info though, thanks for the vid.

[yamitanomura]

you are great !!

3 year course actualy..and the funny thing is..its now the beginning of the year and i only get good grades bcus i know all the basics from you! tnx man!

[FontanaKnowledge]

@jokerman80 Nels Isrealson. He is the man.

[Pirikettu]

great info, but i already knew about this from growing plants with artificial lights and rest is common sense. im sure that many people can benefit from this info and they might not have common sense when it comes to re-emitted/reflected light and this law. what i think should be added is that the light doesent disappear, photons just gets scattered into more wide area and less of them are hitting the subjects when it gets further away causing the subject to be less lit.

Keep up the good work!

I feel Smart now...

[enburst]

thats cool dude. i already knew that principle from school but i never thought to apply it to photography

[sharkman0616]
