Gavin, I love your enthusiasm when introducing your models. Brings a smile to my face every time. Your tip about the distance from umbrella to speed light, and photographing the umbrella to ensure even coverage, was very helpful.

Dare I ask, when using a speed light or multiple speed lights, what is the difference between using a umbrella vs using a 4x6 soft box?

Softboxes don't reflect light backwards like a shoot-thru umbrella. All the light goes forwards.

I noticed that one side of Charlotte's face was smooth but the other side not. Is it the lighting or too much makeup? Is there anyway to even it out on both sides? Would butterfly lighting fix that, or is that going to be a PS/LR edit? What I can fix on shoot saves time in edit... GREAT video!

Loved this video, and Gavin, just a phenomenal presenter. Even it is a video regarding shoot through umbrella, I dare to ask a reflective umbrella question. How much, if any, will that S-type bracket cause shadow / less light coming out of a reflective umbrella compared to having the speedlight directly on an umbrella adapter.

Good question. I suppose it would depend on the size of the umbrella.

Another good video. Why do you favour ISO 200 instead of a 100 setting?
@GavinHoey4 жыл бұрын
Hi Frank. 200 ISO is the native ISO for Olympus cameras. As a bonus it also cuts the power required from the flash by half compared to 100 ISO. So in a very small way I'm saving the planet one flash at a time 😉
