To me it's pretty easy, I like editing in Capture One, Lightroom gets the job done for 99% of uses. But to me Capture One just feels nice to edit with. And that's it, I'm happy to pay for a service I enjoy using

I have an AD200 and a couple of Godox on-camera flashes, and a remote for these. But I do still find myself wanting continuous light, even if it’s less powerful. I have the smaller Zhiyun Molus G60 and use it for shooting macro. Continuous light, with no flash recycle time, is good for focus stacking. Especially if I’m out and shoot handheld. Of course, this is not professional work. But it fits my needs. PS: there is a Bowens mount adapter for these small Zhiyun lights. It has its own attachment for your lightsaber, so the weight of your modifiers doesn’t hang on that small plastic mini mount!

To add onto the strobe vs continuous brightness around 5:30, the ad200 is 200Ws, not 200W. At full power the flash duratioj is reported as ~1/220 seconds, which means its power during the time it's on is ~200*220 = 44,000W. Thats a lot of power, just not for very long. The lamp by contrast, at 60W, will require a 733 second exposure to get the same brightness. If you are exposing both for 1/100 seconds, the lamp will have 0.6Ws of energy, and the flash will output 200Ws

So if no one has a job who's going to pay taxes ? Skynet, I don't think so.

Great video - I find myself using the modeling light on my AD200 more and more for non human subjects, but I still prefer flash for portraiture. Btw, you didn’t actually give the pros and cons for the first question ;)

Im new to photography, and I think I'll be going with this program as a beginner. thanks for the video

I'm still watching and thanks! I probably should be failing at something though...

what makes me happy: photos. what makes everyone around me happy: reels of people showing how they hold a camera in their hand.

i would really love to touch your mustache, ngl

Congratulations! Awesome news. If I had had teachers like yourself (and not the stuck-in-the-1990s-misogynist-old-men) I wouldn't have dropped out of my photography degree in 2011. You're part of a new generation of educators and I'm so happy to see down to earth relatable people in the photography education field.

I am still watching 😂! Good luck to you! Well, good job, job well done because you did the job already 😂!

Would you have guessed this would be part of your journey?! How awesome! Congratulations! You are great at being captivating (this is from someone who gets super easily distracted, so believe me, you are great at being captivating), and you drop so many gold nuggets of wisdom. Your in-person students are lucky to have you. Your KZbin students are lucky to have you!! Best wishes on this adventure!

Being a professor is a great journey. If I can give you a pice of advice, you will never be prepared for everything and anything students might ask about. Accepting that you don't know the answer and telling them you don't know but you'll look into it is not only very humble but also liberating. Once I realized I didn't need to know every single thing about everything made me enjoy teaching so much more. Good luck with your lectures!!

I am still watching 😂😂🙏 to be honest you have helped me so many times from just quitting and believing it not possible to be a photographer

Congratulations on your new working opportunity - that's so amazing, Sergio 👐 Looking forward to following along with you here in 2025 ☺

Congrats!!! 🍾

lol C1 is as greedy - if not more - as adobe. at least with adobe you get all their apps (desktop, mobile) with the sub. c1 wants you to pay extra for the ipad version, etc.

Congratulations ! Good on you for taking on a new challenge!

Hey Prof

Congratulations on this next step in your career! This video really hit me in a good way, giving me more motivation to move forward.

Bruh, how much is that course? Why is there no link in your description? If u teach an intermediate class in editing or even renting out part of your shop, where can I find the info?

Congratulations on the new gig dude! That’s so exciting 🎉❤❤

not trying my one of the main problem, for sure (have big amount of not edited stuff tho)

Still watching man! To be honest, I've kinda written off school as a waste of time. I've been to college and technical colleges and tradesman schools all for fields not even remotely related to photography only to have ended up as a self taught photographer lol but if I lived near your school, having watched your vids, I'd love to take your course!

Good opportunity you landed there, Sergio! I teach at UVic and love the interaction with students. Hope it went well yesterday. The nervous feeling is normal, you just lean into it.

Fantastic news, your students deserve a teacher like you, not the text book geek but a guy that has his knowledge hard earned by experimenting and learning from mistakes. Pass on that knowledge and they learn more than just reading a text book. And being nervous is absolutely normal - and helpful too.Head on and rock these lessons :)

I'm still watching Congrats on the new experience. You'll do great, I just know it. 💛

Congratulations and Félicitations, We are proud of you Serg 🤩🤩🤩

I watched to the end! 😁 Congrats on your new teaching opportunity! You're a great at explaining concepts in a very approachable way. I've learned a new perspective on photography from watching your channel. I'm new here but excited to learn all I can! Thank you!

Great video! I really enjoy your channel! Congrats on getting into teaching! I teach 4 summer school classes to 6-8th graders about photography and storytelling. I learn so much from them as well! They have such an interesting perspective. I feel like as we get older we limit ourselves into boxes and are less willing to try things. Students are incredibly creative and have taught me to always keep attempting to take those boxes down.

Congrats on the new job! Lucky students over there...

Congrats on the new opportunity. It would be dope if you could record a class. Seeing the follow up questions and feedback in real time would be very interesting.

My first thought was thinking of every legendary street photographer that first came to mind ... This summer I was taking a short drive with a photographer friend I hadn't seen in a while. She's been pretty successful it seems in commercial world, at least from where I'm standing, and we spent the whole trip talking about our ADHD diagnosis's. I don't think it's a prerequisite by any means, but I think it's fun to think that some neurodivergence would drive someone to be a wallflower and observe and take pictures, or be bold and get the shot, or spot something out of the corner of their eye, or hone in on a scene developing in a crowd, onstage, in the field, or from a model etc. And don't get me started on editing, why it has to feel just right. It's a big long fraught conversation about "normals" and "people in the arts" and taste and those without taste and so on. But its interesting that the proliferation of "good cameras" of "high quality" images and how to share them doesn't mean more photography ( at least relative to the amount of phones with capable cameras). Like if everyone in the 70's that got a landline was also given a k1000 and a roll of film a month forever and every year they were upgraded and there was a ATT/ Bell Photo Gallery in every major city would it have meant more photographers or just more pictures? I guess my point is that access to the tool doesn't mean you automatically get more practitioners. You gotta have some weirdos that want to mess around and dedicate a lot of time and identity to something that just seems kind of neat to most people.

great advice, it all applies to videographers too

Brilliant video. This is such an important thought, considering how easy it is for a very quirky person to fall into the comparison trap.

New here. Liking what I see. High five!

Interesting. What lens are you using in the Discovery Coffee shot-a tilt-shift?

I'm only just getting into photography... This feels like I've skipped a generation and I'll have old heads being like "BACK IN MY DAY". They'll then proceed to explain how colour grading was like being in 'Nam and how it's so easy now or something.

unsubscribed from water content of Peter Mckinnon, this channel is much much better!

your mic is an attention seeker, i spent 60% of time trying to figure out what kinda mic you using until i finally saw it😀

First.👍🏻

where do the lonely street photographer belong (that's me), or the "hi you speak english, im photographer, you look interesting, can i take your photo" photographer? awesome video by the way

Nothing has changed. This is the same stuff you were able to do before. This is not advanced grading. Match look isn’t there yet as well.

This is great info, but the video itself looks like it was shot in the emerald city.
