@chezchezpro Sony makes the CMOS for a lot of Cameras. The reason they make them for Nikon, Nikon couldnt make them as cheap as Sony. Nikon put them in the Nikon D-3100 that is an entry level camera and Nikon dont make them as small as what they used from Sony. Dont make either camera a bad one, its just the way companys trade together.
I have a canon 7d im not pro but not a novice . I just hate how professionals hating on sony . I also have sony and their technology and futures are way better than canon ( canon like 10 years behind on the futures sony has) i think canon is little easier to get used to and its a lot more simpler ths the reason its pros choice over sony . I call this laziness not to utilize great sony futures
@zx6rr6xz I have a canon, i have been shooting canon for like 12 years. Your right in that Sony has cool features. It's awesome how the 700 had the dual card reader. And that the flash has flips front back and forth instead of rotating.
@zx6rr6xz What? How can you say Sony has better technology than Canon? Where are you getting your facts from? 10 years??? Sony has no DSLR capable of outperforming any equally priced/spec'd Canon, what are you on about?
@truknayr23 don't forget Brian Smith (editorial photographer) and Thomas Grant (fashion photographer) also shoot with Sony Alpha line. There are TONS more in japan too.
I don't understand what you'd set your aperture to after taking the readings of each light source.. I get confused because all the videos I watch on using a light meter say how to take readings and discuss the readings they get from each light sourc but not what to set your aperture to... Each light source gives a different reading but obv you only have one aperture so how do I go about adjusting my aperture to all of the different readings? Do I just adjust my aperture to the reading of th
@littlemonster0428 hi there... what you want to do is set your aperture to you desired level for the key light in the case of the video the big unbrella or the snoot... you then use the characteristic curve to adjust the fill lights to the desired level...for example with the snoot that read F11 and the fills were 5.6 he would set his camera for either 11 if he wanted to correctly expose the snoot or maybe F8 to put it 1 stop over and bring the fill lights in more...hope this helps a little?
@tharaka. So what if the model is sitting in an angle (key light 3 feet away), for instance, will the stop be any different between the eye closer to the camera and the farthest one? Or is he explaining the unexplainable?
What I’m trying to say is, (since there can be differences of stops on different parts of the face), will a key light for each side of the face be needed?
@asjesus1 If the same light is hitting both sides of the face, even if the face is turned at a 45-degree angle, there's only a difference of four inches or so. So the near point would be 36" and the far point 40". According to the inverse square rule, the front eye would get about 10% more light that the far eye, probably not enough to make a visible difference.
@tharaka. I know this sound crazy, but please help make sense of what he meant by “different readings” in a small area as the face of a model. Does it have to be that serious? thanks in advance….tharaka…
@asjesus1 It can be that serious depending on want you want to achieve. When the head is in a 3/4 profile, you'll get different readings on the face. With those choices, you can pick a reading and match it to your fill light(s). Again, it depends on the look you want to achieve.
One very sympatic video. Thanks for the upload - even if you are shooting Sony ;)

@ksearles85 dont underestimate the sony slrs. the 900 can easily compete with the top models of nikon/sony, at least in image quality!

i learning and just curious 03:47 how can you get an even read being that the model is on an angle? Since Matthew used one key light for this shot ?
