Balancing Strobes with Daylight: A lighting Tutorial

[portraitpixels]

Glad he wasn't fired and this is really really helpful. Excellent stuff !

[AlphaSphere]

music is still very annoying. Maybe try using some of the iMove tracks, those are way less annoying and used by many big youtubers with succes. Love that you keep sharing. Keep it up.

[Integritydesign]

thumbs up if you stayed tuned til the end.... Chainsaw!!!!!

I'd love to but the problem is I am in SD and its almost 3 hrs away. Some times I go up to la but not all the time.

Could you share details about that portable table you were using? Looks like a hand cart conversion? I really need one of those for my location work, haven' seen anything that interesting in my searches.

[gsamarco]

Any chance you can disclose the power settings you used for the strobes?

[Massaphoto1]

Yes, I thanks I matched up the screen shot after I posted. Works great!

[yazidmasa]

Thank u, I like ur videos but the music in the background is annoying and distracting try to watch this with earbuds and all ull hear is da din da din dada tickling tickling din dada din or whatever the song says

[consoloa]

@yazidmasa Hey Yazi, quit blowing your eardrums out with those earbuds. Da ding, da ding, da-da, really isn't worth it. Or is it? I think it goes da, da diddy dinging...

[yazidmasa]

@consoloa it was in the middle of the night and everyone was asleep so i had to, i cant get the song out of my head i keep singing it all the time and now everyone sings it too, its contagious O.o

[Massaphoto1]

[consoloa]

[TheSlantedLens]

@skymyrka No worries, I did not fire my assistant. He has been with me 15+ years.

DIE PENTAX.... DIE FILM.... DIE!!! lol nice ending JP

[Lagged2Death]

I think you've mentioned before, in other videos, that you often start your exposures at ISO 160.

Is there a reason you choose that particular value, as opposed to (say) ISO 200 or some other higher, whole-stop setting that would give you more downward latitude if you needed it?

[tobsol]

@Lagged2Death High end canons have better noise performance at 160, 320, 640, etc.

[TheSlantedLens]

@Lagged2Death > For the 5D the 160 320 640 1250 ISO's give the best looking blacks. I have seen the tests and they do indeed. The reason some say is that they are the native ISO's others say that is not the case. In the end they look bette and so I use them. The best thing to do is leave the lens cap on and take a am image at each IOS and comapre them. You will see the difference.

[publiux]

Tell me you really didn't fire your assistant. :)

[TheSlantedLens]

@publiux No he has been with me for 15+ years. One time he dropped my Hassleblad with a wide angle lens off a platform in the ceiling and it landed on the concert floor. The light on Saturday was nothing. Things happen on shoots. We are moving very heavy things and fast, so stuff get broken at times. It is all part of the game.

[trip3980]

Question how do you request to use the backlot of universal. I have worked at NBC U before but always wondered how to shoot on the lot.

[TheSlantedLens]

@trip3980 The back lot at Universal cost about $4500 to $6000 dollars for each location. You need a 2 million dollar liability policy and workers comp. If you have those three things then its not hard. Call productions services and go out and scout the location. I am thinking of doing a seminar at Universal for those that want to come and shoot there. Would you be interested?

[garym5]

Poor strobe ;)

[Deweeyy]

i think he watched too much digitalrevtv, that's why he started destroying cameras too :D

[PsykoOps]

Why the reup? And for gods sake stop killing the cameras in the end! :D

[BarryTheElephant]

Thanks for the insight!
