Hey thanks for the explanation. I have a silly question. How much weight do you have to put inside the sandbag so that the flash and modifier dont fall and break? I have a metal thing and is like 13 kg. Regards❤
@JohnGress 2 күн бұрын
Thank you! 7-12kg is the standard range for these bags.

It would also be very enlightening to see side by side the fully lit picture with one with just the key, than with key and fill, and with one with key and rim - to not only see what each light is doing, but also what difference it makes.

John this was incredibly helpful, ty! Quick question; in the shot of tyler with the gels; how did you keep his entire body from being coloured whilst only have the colour on the background shadow? Sorry if thats a stupid question! Is it best to use a gray or white background for images like that? Thanks again for the inspo!
@JohnGress 2 күн бұрын
That’s great to hear! When red, green, and blue light are combined, they create white light. This occurs due to the additive color model, which is used in devices like computer screens and digital displays. In this model, red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light. When mixed together in equal intensities, they produce white light because the combination stimulates our eyes' cone cells, resulting in the perception of white. This is fundamentally different from mixing colors in paint, where the subtractive color model is used. In the additive model, combining different wavelengths of light adds to the overall intensity and creates new colors

Super useful to see this test with numbers vs power outputs, I'm facing a mixed light situation and not super happy with freeze mode (Profoto D2 1000ws), cause the ambient is still leaking in and blur the further details. I went to freeze mode instead of Hi-speed cause I can't have the subject available for a long time (sport celebrity) and needed to take as more shots as possible without him repeating the action vs me shooting only a few frames per action (hi-speed can't recycle as fast as freeze mode but overpowers ambient ofc). Still, in this extreme case, next time I would probably rely on Hi-speed with a slower but more syncronized pace between my finger and the ideal pose. Or go for a battery pack (Pro10 or 11) so I can freeze at a proportionally higher output capability from the unit. Does it sounds correct to you? Thanks, great video as usual!
@JohnGress 12 күн бұрын
In order to maximize flash duration, you need to lower the power. Limiting ambient light in that situation is also essential. If it's too bright and you can't control the it, then high-speed sync is the only way to go. In most situations where I am photographing athletes, there's a peak moment that you need to capture, so timing it with one single frame isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure, you'll be a little bit late or a little early sometimes, but you have to do what you have to do.
@daandegroot846 12 күн бұрын
Thanks for your great tutorials. I am in the process of buying some battery power flash units. I do have some good experiences with Godox but also they failed me a few times during important shoots such as a wedding and an editorial shoot. I shoot with a S1R and S1 and want to move quickly and free so will choose between the one or three. I mostly shoot these scenes with umbrellas as I love the soft lite and its flexibility. Looking at this review I think the power of the three will be the factor for me over the one.
@JohnGress 12 күн бұрын
I'm sorry to hear you had difficulties with Godox; you're not alone as others have shared similar experiences. I would suggest you consider purchasing the Elinchrom THREE because it has more power, making it more versatile in various situations. For the best results and to get access to TTL and HSS, you will need to buy the pro trigger that matches your camera brand. Here are the links for the Elinchrom THREE: Adorama: howl.me/ckOHJkaLdm0 Amazon: amzn.to/4dgoPl8 B&H: bhpho.to/46Sg90q

Hello from the UK 😊, trying to decide on a 85mm lens for my portraits, I’m so grateful I found this one as I was considering the sigma and wanted to compare it with the 85 f2 . From what your saying I’m still not sure lol. How about the background bokeh? Is the sigma better at producing it or the rf 85 f2 ? Hope you respond 🤞
@JohnGress 16 күн бұрын
I glad you found it too! If you’re stuck between the Sigma and the F2 lens and budget is not an issue, then I would definitely go with the sigma lens because that sharpness fall off I noticed on the f2 lens would be a deal breaker for me.

Merci beaucoup. Given that your lens is about a 30 year old design, I would expect it to be a lot lower quality than the three lenses I tested. However, given that your camera is only 20mp, it might not matter as much as it would on a 45mp camera.
