@lolabanky3305 Год назад

wow! explanation is amazing and understandable! I have heard this concept before and have seen many movement frozen without a clue as to how its down, the secret is out! Thank you for breaking it DOWN!!! excuse me while I go freeze motion! Practice, Practice, practice. Thanks my favorite Mr. Pye! Gratitude!

@MegaFLYBOY2 Год назад

Excellent flow to these videos: Simple and dumbed-down for the non-techies. At some point last year I unconsciously stopped referring to "Ritz Camera" and started referring to "Adorama". Good job👍

@canucklehead28 Год назад

Thank you Pye.

@andymcgarty3099 Год назад

What a great video. Never tried rapid fire on a dancer, always tried to catch the moment. Will definitely be trying this, thank you.

@tonyfphotography 5 месяцев назад

The explanation of flash duration was a great ah-ha moment for me. Great educational piece here.

@photo2000 Год назад

This is a really good tutorial on flash duration. Many beginners and some experienced photographers, are not aware that flash actually has a duration, and at longer durations can actually cause motion blur to occur. Simply by quartering the light output of a flash, can dramatically decrease flash duration, and freeze most model motion. May need to go even further, testing and reference to flash manual will show flash duration to power and equivalent shutter speed.

@petervagvolgyiphotography 8 месяцев назад

""BUT.." Long time follower of Pye and Adorama, but there are many things I would do differently approaching this shoot. (I know there's many ways to do the same thing but I would.. 1) go to the back of the studio and shoot from as far as possible zoomed in enough to just about cover the backdrop in the frame. 50mm-85mm (higer if studio lets you) lenses will help you to avoid unnaturally long limbs that end up close to the edge of a wide angle lens.) Clean up would be easier with less distraction at the edge of the frame and dancer look more pleasing "close to life" without the wide angle look. 2) shoot from a lower angle (hip height or lower so jumps look higher and the dancer can concentrate on the form instead of the power of the jump) 3) when you have only a 400ws light and an umbrella why dont you turn that light around and pointed to the dancer or use a silver interior umbrella instead or even better silver inside with diffusion outside like a softlighter or umbrella softbox? 4) when you don't have the luxury of a 1200ws light on a low setting with t1 1/2000 or lower learn the movement and predict the peak point of the jump so you can take one shot instead of "spray and pray" 5) probably would draw those curtains too for less ambiant light that can mess with the exposure. this way I can have a wider aperture lets say f5.6-11 this way the strobe doesn't have to work overtime to push the light through the tiny aperture allowing me to use a lower ISO. I'm London based but would love to work with dancers from the USA. Maybe one day I can visit. PS.: The above is just personal opinion and what would work for me and in no way mocking the work of Pye and Adorama. Regards, Peter Vagvolgyi Photography

@collinh8911 Год назад

Wonderful! Could you do one that looks at dance and OCF outdoors/on location? I'd also love to see your edit following this. Thank you!!

@pathankotiya Год назад

Definitely a video of how you edited these pics in PS. The actual and the edited shots look totally different.

@MosesMind Год назад

very nice tutorial

@pictureeyecandy Год назад

Great info I get shooting wide but I think you could have shot a little tighter. Thanks

@TheSvenChannel Год назад

I was totally expecting the video to discuss the FJ400 freeze mode function, since that feature is designed to do exactly what this video is about. I understand the freeze mode also reduces the power, but I'd guess it's more efficient at lowering the flash duration, than just dialing down the power in regular flash mode.

@antoinernb9398 Год назад

I have learned something

@edross2826 Год назад

Pye, you are the man. I don't shoot too frequently in the studio because I don't have a studio. I was having problems with missing the shots with fast-moving dancers because the flash did not have enough time to recycle. I thought that I have to invest in a battery pack to boost the flashes, but I never thought of raising my ISO to lower the power in my strobes. Thanks to you now will be able to get those shots.

@kelfarley Год назад

Same here. That was kind of a "duh" moment for me.

@SammismsTV Год назад

Thank you so much! I wish you have tutorial on how you post edited these photos. ❤

@Emchen88 Год назад

The dancings are always performance on stage instated of shooting in studio lighting . Try to capture the best moments . I have more than 15 years experience to photo shooting performance arts in several music centers/theaters in Los Angeles !

@stevemadrid6522 9 месяцев назад

Wow! Great info! I shoot a lot of dance and this was extremely helpful! Pye, you're a bad a**!

@jesusgjchuza6491 Год назад

Nice 🤟🏼🤝😎

@b991228 Год назад

Setup the camera in portrait and stitching two or three shoots together so the your image megapixel resolution is higher yet you can still frame the final image in a reasonably standard aspect ratio. Ratios around 1x1, 6x4 or 2x1. FRAME BIG!

@asarz92 3 месяца назад

Stupidly, I would have activated HSS and do a shot by shot. But having the drive mode and a sequence makes it easier to get the shot you want and not redo the model because its difficult to trigger it. A lesson learned

@tayebamghar07 Год назад

you can put shutter at 1/600 or more and flash power at 1/4 or 1/2 (depend on your ISO setting ) and you will get freeze shot and better light than what we have seen now

@janlasalle8845 Год назад

Ive been shoot dance for several years in the studio and always iso 100...I do one shot at a time not a series and that seems to work for me with tack sharp images and perfect peak action shots...I like the placement of your lights...Ill try that although not many of us have your kind of space and Im not sure if this will work but thanks for the tips.

@automationintothings Год назад

Great video, very informative. Question: It would be nice to know the best approach to have a set of these photos in 1 image. Showing the movement.

@stephenbernard4675 Год назад

Great tutorial, can you get the same results using continuous light rather than flash?

@yeohszehow Год назад

Happy Deepavali

@Sparty12161 Год назад

Nice video! I must have missed the section on creating similar images using one strobe. Would you mind sharing that process? Thanks

@adammorgan7829 Год назад

Great tutorial. On the bucket list of photography to try. Question for you about the R5. Do you turn off image stabilization when you mount the R5 on a tripod? (Lens, body or both?). I know the 28-70 f2 has none, but will the body stabilization cause issues? Dslr's stabilized lenses caused soft images when tripod mounted. Not sure on mirrorless though.

@johnclay7644 Год назад

useful 12mins of video.

@himalayareaders Год назад

@anjanakkw Год назад

thank you so much for all great content Pye. just curious, don't you teather in studio?

@merkin22 2 месяца назад

Great refresher, thanks!; I haven't shot with my strobes for a couple of years (!) and as fate would have it planning to shoot a dancer very soon. You do say at one point that the different between main and fill is about one stop, and I set my lights separately in the "M" stage in any event :) But a question of curiosity, is it because of the particular lights you're using (I'm a profoto guy) that you gave the power setting in watt seconds? Worse are you doing the math? :) Again, this video really brought it all back quickly for me (and helped clarify beautifully the role ISO when shooting flash!) -- thanks!

@Mattross52 Год назад

I’ve been doing more dance lately, and just do the 1, 2, 3 method. Timing my shutter with when the jump trying to get it at the perfect point. The thought of hiking up the iso and using bursts makes me cringe, but damn I can’t argue with your results. Definitely beating me🤦🏻‍♂️

@emmettphotography Год назад

Thanks for this. What material was the model using to wave around? It looks amazing. Thanks.

@josephchan4198 Год назад

I was wondering if you can do fashion Jewelry, gym outfits, or product shots? Thanks.

@chionoman Год назад

I only have 8.5ft with my backdrop. The problem is a jump with fabric, it leaves the backdrop area. I would like to see how you can extend that backdrop in post processing, thats all I can think of to do other than tear out the roof and make it higher :)

@eduard.amihai7545 Год назад

Loved the part of the comments 😂😂

@Emchen88 Год назад

I have more than 15 years freelancer photographer experience for performance arts including in Los Angeles Music Center , always take photo on stage only ! Try to capture the best moments of all difference movements and changing lightings without flash in one shooting spot ! Any studio or training photography would not shown the trued dancing photo shooting event that are nice looking ! Everything are changing, moving and differences , try to capture the best moments ! Not the second chances to try !

@rosalindagarcia4468 7 месяцев назад

Hello Pye! What are you camera settings besides the ISO, aperture, and SS? Thank you! PS….. I have a canon EOS 5 d mark lll

@DesignerDawn 10 месяцев назад

if you use iso 800 in order to use a lower flash power will you have iso grain too or does the flash duration result in sharp images within the skin texture of the model?

@b991228 Год назад

Does lighting the studio as dark as is reasonable allow you to further decrease strobe power/duration? I guess jumping in the dark would not be something you would recommend.

@oo0RECON0oo Год назад

So the darker the ambient the more frozen the subject? How does auto iso handle freezing the subject? My understanding is that it is more accurate in its exposure amount then manually setting the flash power?

@stevenmeansphotography3861 Год назад

Can you tell me the process to get the background white as you did

@look9005 11 месяцев назад

ok - so you are using the mechanical shutter? or curtain shutter? or which shutter for HSS high speed sync

@blazejzalesinskiart Год назад

Did anybody knows if htere is a tutorial of how this picture was edited? Pye was mentioning he would show how to edit this

@DAMCT1 Год назад

Any tips on focussing? My R6 struggles to focus even with the modeling light on because the room is too dark before the strobe fires. If my model is close to the light it's fine but when I try to do a full body dace shot it's too dark. (I'm using one Einstein light and there's not a lot of natural light for proper settings)
