I love how everyone is critiquing the speaker when he is actually an awesome teacher

@ezekielnduli5181 4 года назад

I love how his explanations lead to the best location.

@GaryBrink 4 года назад

True, I found this video actually really good at explaining light direction and compensating for the issues in each direction - he even addresses color casts from light bouncing off grass, dirt, etc -- which many light tutorials bypass.

@LipstickInMyCoffee 7 лет назад

The sweet, subtle kiss at 6:12 is one of the main reasons I'm here. I want to be able to capture genuine moments just like that. Thank you for all this advice!...It's really, really good stuff.

@bakermanxxx567 8 лет назад

As a beginner DSLR photographer, keen to learn mostly via free youtube lessons and practice, I've watched lots of useful content relating to the basics of using manual etc. I now get the basics of ISO/ apeture/ shutter speed. This particular video brings in a whole new level of consideration, which seems hugely important to image quality. Very well explained. Thank you!

@gabrielsolis7513 6 лет назад

If you want to get to the next level as quickly as possible, I highly recommend purchasing SLR Lounge's Lighting 101 and 201 videos. The information is far more accurate than the free stuff you find on RU-vid!

So for the shots you showed us at the end what lighting techniques did you use?

@pictureeyecandy 5 лет назад

A great lesson on lighting! I remember a long time ago about a photographer who used a black marble to find the direction of the brightest light. I never tried it but would that be the quickest way to find the light? From memory, I thought that what the photographer was saying.

@leonard187 6 лет назад

WOW yet another awesome lesson on lighting your subjects thanks bro your awesome

@TheIslandAttitude 8 лет назад

Random question, Pye, but I'm curious how you get these couples involved with your education here... Are you offering couples discounts to be part of your training videos, or are they volunteering? Not that it matters, but I'm curious.

@KevinEuceda 8 лет назад

Now I have a question, which perhaps might seem trivial to some of you. But, as a starting photographer without the help of an assistant, how do I position or arrange the reflectors and diffusers? Thanks!

@looniaz 8 лет назад

You can use a reflector holder

@edot913 4 года назад

How do you use the scrim when your alone?

@sexypixels988 8 лет назад

great tutorial! i have another question about natural light shooting how do you make the sky retain its rich blue color and keep it from turning completely white in pictures (overexposed) ? and at the same time keep the couple well lit

@PauloParreira 8 лет назад

HSS

@Thena_the_Grey 8 лет назад

For something like that, most us either a flash or strobe to allow the background to be correctly exposed and still have the subject well lit. This is very common. For solely natural light, I would recommend a reflector. They have white, silver and gold. This may take some experimentation when compared to the ease of a flash/strobe, but natural light can be wonderful to work with.

@f8bethere 7 лет назад

Meter for the sky at your camera's (highest) flash sync speed. Then light the couple with artificial light (flash) to expose them correctly, or sometimes a scrim or reflector can work. Often I prefer the burned out sky as the couple is the subject, but If I want the sky too, this is how I do it.

@zone5ive 7 лет назад

You have to use a fast enough shutter speed, like 1/4,000 or whatever. Expose for the sky and even underexpose by using a still faster shutter speed. Since your subject will then be in silhouette, use an off-camera flash and trigger setup that can use high speed sync. It's easy to do, the hard part is making it look like you didn't use a light at all. Google FJH Photography for more on that.

@robertaltman222 6 лет назад

Just a reminder- you CAN (and I do) hold reflectors higher and bounce light down to the subject so the light direction (when used as a key/main light) looks natural...
