I honestly cannot believe these videos are free. They are both a very sharp hook into your paid education and so well done as a useful standalone bit of knowledge that it's mind boggling. We live in a very interesting time, especially for someone looking to learn new skills. Cheers, Karl
The Short Period In Which You Spoke .. Was Very Useful And Has A Lot Of Information .. All Thanks And Appreciation For Your Valuable Time And Your Sharing Of The Extensive Experience That You Have
I just started following your channel and I'm so impressed with your quality of work, the way you make your videos, the information giving and the spectacular setup on all of them. Thank you for sharing.
I press like even before I watch the video. This is one of the few subscriptions that I have that is really worth having. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope to be able to enter your advanced courses soon.
I watched all tutorials from the free course on your website. They are fantastic and helped me in many ways and improve my skills to. Looking forward for more such in-depth tutorials. Thanks a lot Karl
By the way I finally joined the education group today!! I'm excited about elevating and having the knowledge. I really appreciate you and your team brother!! Cheers!!
Perfect timing! I'm currently planning a header image for a webpage about water supply in Africa. A more abstract splash image might be a good eye catcher to the serious topic.
Good stuff, very crisp and to the point explanation! As a side note, the newer Godox lights can sync up to 1/8000 with full format cameras. Quite short flash durations too, makes stopping motion a breeze.
Hi throughout this video I explained that all of these examples were using flash and I explained the difference in flash durations. So clearly flash was required based on the fact that it was the flash duration that is freezing the splashes. If you have a bright enough continous light then you could potentially get to 1/8000th sec with your camera shutter at f16 if you have a light source about 5 times as bright as the sun.
Thanks, the links to the other videos are at the bottom of the blog post which there is a link to but I will get someone to update this video in the morning
Can i ask what types of paint you use for paint on models photography. coming from the splosh world where food based items are used for very messy sessions, the messy side of things i have done before, i have been looking recently at doing some more creative/artistic paint pours.
Hi Karl ! I learnt lot of thing about Commercial Photography, But in this video you have shown liquid color splash on model. My Question is what kind of liquid color do you use for liquid splash on model ?
@@VisualEducationStudio Thanks Karl.. I was just thinking mirrorless would allow you to monitor the scene. But appreciate its only a small benefit. Thanks again! Oh and can I do some work experience with you please (I am 47).
Yes that would be the main advantage but I think some DSLRs can also monitor the scene with the 'live view' feature and still shoot, although I'm not sure they can all do that. As for the work expericence I'm a couple of years older than you but I'm afraid our work experience slots are usually for students :)
@@VisualEducationStudio Thanks Karl, ah yes, Live view, that's a point! Also, I didn't expect a response to the work experience request (you do indeed look like you are having great fun, but at the same time have some great challenges to get your teeth into - I like that)... but now you have got me thinking (I will look into becoming a student) ... thanks again. Keep up the great work.
Thanks. In the graph the t0.5 and t0.1 are related to output power so what t0.5 actually means is when the flash exceeds 50% of its maximum brightness for a given power setting. t0.1 is when the flash exceeds 10% of its maximum brightness for a given power setting. The time measurement is the actual time such as 1/7000th or 1/15,000th etc.
I have a novice question. My speedlight is capable of 1/128, but the amount of light is insufficient. I want to supplement it with my monolight, but it can only go down to 1/32. How will using one light at 1/128 and another at 1/32 impact the shot in regards to freezing water. Thanks in advance!
Hi Ron, that's a complex question that we don't cover on our youtube channel but is covered here - karltayloreducation.com/class/understanding-flash-duration/
Hi Splash Strike it was more of a generalisation to speed up the delivery of what I was saying. But you're right it wasn't completely accurate because not all Medium Format cameras can achieve 'any sync' speed. The higher attainable sync speed is because of the 'leaf shutter' which is actually in the lens and not the camera body which is what allows faster sync speeds, however not all MF cameras have a leaf shutter option in the lens, for example the Pentax 645 can't achieve higher sync speeds because it doesn't use 'Leaf' shutters. All Hasselblad and all Phaseone cameras can sync at higher speeds. The new Hasselblad lens use a combination of the leaf shutter and electronic timing to achieve a maximum sync speed of 1/2000th of a second. The Phase One camera and leaf shutter lens combinations can reach a maximum 1/1600th sync. Unfortunately on the Fuji GFX it's a dismal 1/125th of a second which people often neglect to consider when comparing it to the Hasselblad equivalent X1Dii - for me personally the higher sync speeds are very useful for shooting on location with flash and far outweigh using HSS. So yes you are right I shouldn't have generalised but as a medium format user of over 20 years and also considering Rodenstock and Schneider lenses on certain view cameras and that most pro medium format cameras sold are Hasselblad or Phase, I thought it easier to generalise the capabilities of those systems.
You can but it would have to be so bright that it would be distracting for the model and the photographer. Studio flash is much more powerful but just for a milisecond.
Yes I'm quite impatient too but the trick with product photography is problem solving. You list every problem and you solve them one by one. That working process is quite pleasant and enjoyable.
I sure will, better still can you tell us why we would have it, how you recognised it and what can be done about it given we are using high quality Sony wireless mics?
