Thanks Gavin and Charlotte. This session clarifies quite a bit about mixing light colors. I like how you took it step by step to get the desired results. Your method of training always makes it very clear.
You are my favorite person ever you seem so genuine I literally have to force myself not to watch your videos when they come out and try to wait til I have about 3 and I can binge watch them lol but they never last long enough
Another fantastic video from the only truly master of teaching....thanks Gav...you always know how to break things down...you have certainly come a long way from your vids with the Canon 40d......and.....do you remember this "Raw to the Core"!!!;)
Another terrific video, Gavin. Thank you. Because of the rather pronounced flicker of the LEDs, I would suggest you add a seizure warning at the beginning so people with certain neurological conditions can take appropriate precautions.
Thanks Gavin that’s brilliant and really helpful 👍👍 I really like your tethering setup and would be really interested in seeing how you do it in a future video and the software/hardware you’re using. Thanks again, absolutely love your videos and creatively 😃
I think Gavin at least mentioned it in one of his videos. He is using a USB cable from Tether Tools to connect the camera to the computer, and Capture One as the software to tether into. If you haven’t heard of Capture One, it’s a RAW developer with build in tethering functionality.
You are such a great photographer Gavin I would like to see you use the RX10 Miv in you studio shoots... sort the men from the boys that would.. ask Adorama for a great camera...
Thanks Gavin, love your tutorials and theyve helped my photography loads. Would you balance a coloured LED light source in the same way and would be able get a red/blue with the blue coming from the white balanced flashes?
Hi Jonathan. This only works if your LED light is warm or cold as you generally can't balance out green (for example) LED's in the same way. For other colour combinations gels or the flash (and possibly for the LED's) would be required.
I was just thinking about this sort of balance of ambient and flash before this showed up. In my case I was looking at balancing a sunset behind a model with a flash to light the model. Pretty much the same thing with different light sources. The flash was very white compared to the orange/pink of the sunset and the image felt off because of that I think. I still need to get better at using gels to help balance a flash. Any specific gels you would recommend for the average speedlight? Thanks.
Wonderful as always Gavin ! If my model doesn't bail on me hopefully I will be doing this in a few days. ! Could you give me some info on the bulbs you're using ? Cheers !
The bulbs are the cheapest I could find (hence the terrible flickering). Oversized 4w bulbs help keep the heat super low but test them (carefully) before your shoot.
@@GavinHoeyHoey Thanks, I usually use my laptop with it outputted to an external monitor but that tends to be cumbersome since I work from a home studio also and I always have to tear everything down at the end of the shoot. I was looking at the Amazon Fire HD which is only $89 and I'm thinking that would be a low-cost solution. The only problem is it only has one USB C connection and it says for power but I'll have to research more to see if I can use it as an input.
Good video and nice concept but not for me this only good for one idea to shallow depth of field i like mine at least f5.6 or f8 flash shutter speed doeos not matter with the flash but with LED yes they do plus look how dim your ambient studio lights have to be . To me its not worth the bother LED i can take it or not for product photography but anything else nope good video Gavin . Try doing a family shoot with led's and F2.8
Yep, really not a technique for you but as I'm sure you're aware there's a wide range of photographers out there. Mixing flash with less powerful lights is something many of us need to do. Just ask a wedding photographer!
I prefer the ones with the mix of colors for something more creative, after all as you said you dont do this every day :) model too cold and serious...
