Two Light Portrait Setup

[FLIGHTVISIONFILMS]

lol @:38 are you reaching for an invisible strap lol

[delise720]

I didn't even see the flash going off.

[kerrycgarrison]

@delise720 The flash on low power goes off faster than the shutter speed of the video camera

[ikezz]

what shutter speed, aperture and ISO you used?

[kerrycgarrison]

@ikezz ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/200th

[photobyjewell1987]

Nice video one question wht size umbrella and speedlights did you use on your shoot

[kerrycgarrison]

@photobyjewell1987 32" Shoot thru umbrella with BB560 speedlights from blackbeltlighting

[screwdricer]

Is it just me or are the highlights blown in all the shots?

Chris

[kerrycgarrison]

@screwdricer Its just you

[BlueSparrowPhoto]

@screwdricer I think you're right.

[ericipericie]

@screwdricer Yup, just you.

[youroob]

agree. HIghlights are a little blown?

[michelleacc]

Is that flash always on? or there's a lamp behind it?

[kerrycgarrison]

@michelleacc I had constant lights running in order to have enough light to shoot the video.The flash only fires when I take the shot.

[kerrycgarrison]

If you are overexposing its because of your camera settings or flash settings. Turn down your flash or turn down your ISO

[jasapengantin]

thank you gary for your explain, so cmiiw, one softbox and a flashlight from internal camera is enough to capture a photograph like your did in the last shot in this video, cause i'm learning to shot object in white background here...and its always over exposure...

[jasapengantin]

is it same with using a couple of soft box and without reflector ? how much, is the apperture and speed setting, sorry to ask to much cause i'm newbie in study fotography :)

[kerrycgarrison]

@jasapengantin a reflector won't bring in as much light as a second light will but sometimes you don't need a second light and a reflector is all you need. Shutter speed is usually around 1/150 - 1/250 and Aperture is f/5,6

[solobeme]

she looks like Casey Anthony.

[jsgc]

Kerry.... wasn;t that last shot a bit overexposed? Seemed a bit hot... Maybe my monitor..

[hyperfocus2011]

main light is to high and bright in first shot

[AshtonPhoto]

1rhett1 - you're right.

Look at the shape of her face in 0:48.

Now look at the shot in 0:52.

[kerrycgarrison]

@AshtonPhoto The shot was taken with a 24-70 lens. We were highly restricted on space because we were supposed to be shooting outside but it started raining and had to move into very tight quarters.

[KeithMr5000]

whats your f/stop set at?



[sabadashi]

Hey, im a noob at this stuff... does it require to wireless flash triggers to make them work?

[kerrycgarrison]

@sabadashi Depends on the equipment you have. Its MUCH easier with wireless triggers.

[sabadashi]

@kerrycgarrison Ohh, thanks! :D

[1rhett1]

The distortion from that wide angle lens is Horrible, you should know better. Shoot portraits at no less than 50-70mm. Great video though!

[Zoidberg227]

Do you have continuous lighting going in that left umbrella as well?

[kerrycgarrison]

@Zoidberg227 There was a Westcott TD5 Spiderlite behind it to light me but it didn't affect the exposure because of the shutter speed.

[artlinkzowey]

Your teaching videos are amongst the best.



[kerrycgarrison]

The flashes are going off but at 24 frames per second the flash happens faster than the camera can catch it.

[RLJSlick]

OMG I'm such a idiot I should have known that, OMG I'm getting old!

[RLJSlick]

Great lesson, but am I the only one that didn't see the flashers flash?

[sixtypixies]

This is really, super helpful! Thank you!
