I'm always leery about using my strobe without a softbox of some sort. Then I see your video using just the reflector and I wonder why I don't do it more often. Great video! Loved the images with the fence behind her!

@MatthewVickersPhoto 7 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing. If I didn’t use a soft box I swear it would have that flash “aesthetic” he was talking about… and not in a good way. 😅

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

agreed. when i was learning photography that was always a no-no taught to me... but damn... it can really look amazing... its nice and punchy for sure. give it a try.

@fountainvalley100 7 месяцев назад

Great images. It’s interesting that Sony made high speed sync obsolete with their new global shutter.

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

ty . and i dont think thats 100% accurate. details emerging on the global sync show a few limitations that dont get me excited. ISO range and only works with sony flashes atm. everything else is a manual sync. so im not super excited about the marketing hype yet. :)

@user-gz5zf4iu1m 7 месяцев назад

Great Work!! Not sure, but did I hear you say that you started the shoot, with the flash set at half power?

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

correct. thats how i started and then adjusted from there.

@DIGITALMIND63 7 месяцев назад

Great work. Just to confirm, are you feathering the light by slightly angling the strobe upwards?

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

ty ty. and correct. feathering the light makes all the difference in controlling light spill.

Background exposure 1 stop down. And flash as needed before blown up.

!/2000th sync for strobe? I'll have to do some homework on which cameras can do that. My Nikon tops out @ 1/350th. I like your vids. Thanks for sharing!

@binaryinfections 7 месяцев назад

What do you think about Sonys new camera with it syncing at any speed now, and no more hss

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

im anxious to see it... however, early reports are not overly promising... ie... it only works natively with sony flashes... which come on... speedlites??? garbage. my understadning is everything else is a bit manual to get to work. so... at this point... its marketing hype for sure... i truly do look forward to seeing what the final product looks like and how it performs... either way - i think its breaking new ground and that benefits all of us!

@binaryinfections 7 месяцев назад

Ah yes ! I didn’t know that it was just for Sony lights which in my opinion aren’t going to be better then my profoto or westcott lights. I do like the global shutter aspect but we will see when you get your hands on it to be for sure :) can’t wait

@georgerady9706 7 месяцев назад

Heck, I’m try to figure out ways to get the most of my Alpha 1 sync (with Sony flash since 3rd party don’t seem to work at the camera’s faster rates) But I can’t help but wonder - if I just had a couple of Aputure LEDs 300 and 120 - wouldn’t it be easier to just setup the light and take my shots??? Is there any “aesthetic” advantage to shoot flash? (Other than lights load to run and gun) Also, it looks like this is Cannon… but the sweet spot for Sony is 640 (base) ISO anything lower wouldn’t make optimal use of the sensor/processor as - unlike “film” - ISO only filters the image coming from the sensor to be processed…

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

i mean... yeah... continuous lights are always easier, but the question is will they be bright enough to give you the look you want? i mean a 300?? holy shit. you bringning some MASSIVE WEIGHT with you too... better have a strong assistant. :)

@georgerady9706 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, no disagreement on weight and setup (I’ve only done video shoots since I started shooting again so “par for the course”) but I used to shoot - chrome - back in the 90s on my Nikon F5 Nikkor and Flash units and I was never wild about my (off-camera) flash shots (only on-camera out of necessity) and I was as burning film/proce$$ing back then so I didn’t shoot a lot of flash… Now I got this ‘toy’ and another $1K gets me a Sony Commander and F46/60 (B&H advises not to use 3rd party if you want to take advantage of the Alpha’s “super duper” sync speeds… also having one of those ridiculously expensive SONY CF Type As to let the duel processors write out as fast as possible… May just take this to NYC and shoot Christmas stuff and see how it works…

Am I correct that you would be able to take the same photographs with westcott fj200? You would just have to run it at a little bit higher power

@SalCincotta1 21 день назад

that is correct. or you can move the light closer.

I can’t get shutter in any of the 1000s it’s only at 250 how do I get that with my camera which is a canon r6 mk 2 in the 1000s for the strobe

@SalCincotta1 4 месяца назад

your flash system has to 1) support HSS and 2) be in HSS mode. this is more than likely a flash issue not a camera issue.

@franklinmoragane1584 22 дня назад

My camera is a Canon EOS 80d how do I get all my settings correctly to have the same shots

@SalCincotta1 21 день назад

well we cant have the same EXACT setting since i am using different glass etc - but you will use what im teaching to conceptually work your images to be similar.

@krystlesmithphotography 3 месяца назад

How are you getting your shutter speed to 1/2000? I have this exact hotshoe/lights with the Canon R6mii and mine won’t go above 1/200 or 1/250.

@SalCincotta1 3 месяца назад

if i had to guess - my gut tells me you dont have the trigger in HSS. you have to change it on the trigger and then your camera will go to the faster shutter speed. let me know.

@krystlesmithphotography 3 месяца назад

I have the lightning bolt and little H on my hot shoe. Do you use that on the light itself too (H and lightning or do you use the sync that shows “fre” in bottom left but says t0.5: 1/4200 or whatever?

@SalCincotta1 3 месяца назад

@@krystlesmithphotographyyes - should only be on the trigger itself. you are using westcott trigger i assume. the nest thing i would do is make sure firmware on the trigger, light and camera are all up to date... ive seen that cause massive issues.

Omg Sal!! Your understanding of HSS is severely flawed! I wanna beat whomever taught you how to explain HSS. Msg me and I’ll tell you the simple physics of it. It has nothing to do with “speed”of light. I love you man. I just want to help. You’re top level and better than this.

@SalCincotta1 7 месяцев назад

i hope its ok i dont msg you or agree with you seeing as ive learned this from actual engineers at two of the largest lighting companies on the planet. i gotta give them the nod here as actual experts if you know what i mean? so to say my understanding is "flawed"... well... is actually flawed. :)

Ill listen to the engineers who explain how their flashes fire light to deal w HSS. 8 years ago... CDs were all the rage too. I wouldnt point to that as how it works today. sorry brother. like i said in the video... the flashes are sending multiple bursts of light at high speed . this is not a mechanical engineering video... its trying to put into lay terms for people. troll someone else brother.
