You would not think that a guy running around with a gas mask on could look good, but these are awesome! Amazing use of manual camera settings and flash.

Help :] Does anyone know what flashes is Bert using in this video? I am a beginner and don't have the money for super equipment, old vivitar flashes will do the job but I have no idea which vivitar flashes to get. I shoot canon. Thanks guys

[domkedude]

@Adulienka Vivitar 283 & 285 with a couple of pocket wizards.

[Adulienka]

@domkedude Thanks a lot! :]

[wrobe00011]

WOW!!!

[jysakane]

You are awesome!!!

[pastori70]

Why this focusing trick? Wouldn't it be much easier just to use AI SERVO? I wonder how many frames it took to have a shot in focus :) Anyway, great job and nice pictures! Well done!

[meltdownman1]

As a brand new photographer with a 5d Mark II,

I found your colors were totally increadible. I would love to know what fisheye you used and what your setting were for the "sunset" with the flash. I have never seen this in my searches - gorgeous!

The Meltdownman

[kristigarrett]

Very cool! and I agree totally. We photographers can get very stale without feeding our creative urges. I was even driven to do a studio session with some beautiful artichokes this week! from Sacramento, California

[SirRogersMaximus]

Bert, Thanks for this amazing video. You are truly innovated, creative, and passionate!

[fotoclaesjonsson]

Great work I really like your videos, they are really give inspirtation.

You make it funny and astunn(y)ing.

I just bougt some pocket wizzard for wedding photography outdoors.

Have i nice Oestern. Claes

[zboom]

I like the way you work but why don't you tell what your camera settings are. ISO B/W, F stop and Aperture. I think that knowing your camera settings will help me to understand who you came about your incredible photos better.

[pozioma83]

Very nice presentation

[thetttttttttttt]

I love canon, but I wish their longer 'L' lenses were black/dark like Nikons lenses than this cream, just stands out way too much.....P.S. This vid is gr8, the idea is fantastic.

[biterocco]

the last shot showed superb visulation from almost nothing

[redtippmann]

I have that flash Vivitar 285HV great one

[whoppers1000]

how far apart are those two vivitars from the model, do you think?

[josealonsoleon]

No need to see more.....to subscribe!

Great video, great ideas.

Thanks for posting

[Thebabe16]

You have a Canon Eos 80 B, nice pics

[JapsEye2]

What is that? I haven't heard of an 80B.

[Ugatorf111]

what is the stand you use for your flash

[harshalji]

gr8 work, no words to describe it, fantabulous

[darkkon000]

so cool!

[pakuplue]

what exposure did u use on the last shot?

[Afroregering]

Really nice. Go Canon! :D

[JHard654]

that is just simply amazing what can be created with a little time and imagination.

[KalvinKhooG]

Omg!! Thats awesome. Great capture!!

[cacolina1234]

i really liked the last one, wujU!

[NinjaOfTheNasty]

amazing work :) you are an inspiration

[albertdboban]

Hi,

Thank you very much indeed for your videos. I read through your blog(all of them) and tried out whatever you mentioned(techniques never knew before). My skill has improved a lot within a month.

[djquirante]

What kind of fisheye FD lens works with the Mark II? Did you do somerhing with it in order for it to work with the Mark II?

[carlospollito1]

great shots!! i will like to take pictures like you..

[niurkarey]

What kind of fisheye lense? Why flashes and not lights or soft boxes? Thanks

[podivan22]

lights? by that you mean hot lights? you would need a huge battery or a power outlet to use those. As for softboxes, it's just a light modifier, not a light source itself, and you can easily use them on flashes.

[prasadphotography]

can you please tell us the details of the Flash unit

[jigkrozroads]

Those are just a Vivitar 285HV flash...Cheap but get the job done right...bout $90 each.

[youutubestinks]

you really know your business modeling the light, great shots

[moropari]

AWESOME!

[JohanLinden1989]

[geordsta12]

[OmedDC]

Fantastic video! Very helpful and the results are great. Thanks =)

[Lai829]

wow i have so much to learn....

[lionslair50]

Great videos dude.  You make it look so easy and so natural. Are the photos you have in the video at all in any way altered or is that exactly as they came off the camera?

[arimahardhika]

one of my favorite episodes! thx for sharing, Bert!

[musashiemperor]

you are amazing,i love your work and thanks for sharing with us.

I´m from México City, im sorry for my english.

Its a placer to see your work

[tresemes]

Which aperture did you use to get the black backround at 1/250? It seems to be enough light to see the ground clearly at that shutter speed!

Thanks for your videos, I'm learning a lot about portraits and "flashing"!

[ProfetaParanoia]

I was wondering the same thing....

[pictureperfectlie]

these pictures are amazing, I want to be as good as you!

[Archii25]

Thanks!

[bianklec]

You are really creative and also innovative!

like your style :)

thanks for the pointers

[sameroad]

I love your videos and your style.

just from watching a few of them, i picked up some great pointers that will come in handy.

i'm trying to learn all i can as i just upgraded from a point & shoot camera to my first DSLR.

[alexcute15]

i wish i can be work with you...

[veritasveritatum]

Bert: thanks for share your wonderful pics.

[theworst88]

[PippoWasHere]

FANTASTIC!

[laneta69]

wow.. you are amazing.. !!

[ranbonfil]

Great idea and excellent shots!

What kind of Canon lens you use there for telephoto?

[robshookphoto]

70-200mm 2.8

[today18]

These shots are awesome. Great idea. Amazing work... I love... just a little! :D

[hubertk]

This is an excellent series - really learned a lot! Hoe gaat het in Belgie?

[benknowsbest1]

is that a peleng i see?

[Katlady413]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! Your pictures are amazing and inspiring!

May I just ask how much post-processing was done on these photos? And did you use any filters/ modified the saturation/contrast in the camera? Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm just at the beginner level!

[mredger]

Bert,

I know you have a 1D MkIII and a 1Ds MkII but one of the cameras in this video looked like a 5D with battery grip. Was it? Which camera did you use when you took the shutter up to 1/250? The 5D's max sync is 1/200. If you used a 5D for this I assume you cropped out part of the photo that was unexposed...or did you use one of the 1D cameras? Thanks!

[bertstephani]

You must have good eyes because it isn't a 1D alright. It was my 30D with grip and that goes to 1/250.

[pojoka]

that was amazing. bravoooo

[nismosr]

wow .. love the last picture ..

[calibmx90]

amazing

[riverhousedesigns]

VILVOORDE: Thank you for finally being one of the actual people that really does teach something youtube. "The Stand" or "Hero" as we commercial shooters like to call a stand in subject is vital.
