HI.very nice shots. please tell the settings for the flash and camera ,when you use the street shot with UB-130W Parabolic Umbrella

[@malonephotography]

@@barcelonakettlebell4680 He had already did it.

[@phongnguyentuan56]

Aries is super talented... So admire him. Every shooting session he delivers jaw dropping beautiful photos with instructions. Thank you Godox and Aries Tao !

[@vtotheiet]

Wow, this is a total game changer for outdoor lifestyle shoots. I would definitely utilize the AD300 Pro with the RFT 17 + UB 130 to fill in shadows on hard sunlight to give my pictures a editorial professional look. Great video, very informative, and great ecosystem.

[@holgeradolph8650]

I liked the parabolic umbrella with the diffusion layer. The light seem so soft.

[@vikrantrm4237]

JUST WOW... AT 2:22. that's a favorite magazine cover shot !!!

[@GODOXGlobal]

Thanks for the love🥰

[@TMIDD]

My favorite one light setup hands down especially when I travel abroad and make KZbin photography content!

[@Photomantis]

Привет! Очень красивые снимки! Я тоже купил себе AD300Pro и использую его в репортажной съёмке! Уже очень хочу купить второй такой прибор! =)

[@pourouz]

For me the most interesting technique from Taos Video was the one with the barn doors. It really combined perfectly and high contrast enviroment photo with a well spot lit portrait type photo. Great combination in my opinion.

[@mejiavincee]

i agree

[@ale.giacobazzi]

Most of the times I would probably use it with my UB 130 S reflective umbrella with diffuser because I LOVE its versatility and the type of light this modifier provides. 😍😍😍 I have to say, though, that the barn door solution has tickled my curiosity...... I would experiment with it with great pleasure, too! 😄🥰

[@markledingham4942]

The use of the translucent umbrella to fill in shadows is just spot on for me. This would be brilliant for studio and/or portrait photography. Lovely images, Tao and Vlada! ❤

[@amielmanresa]

The one using the parabolic umbrella would be a nice technique, and apply a diffuser, this will reflect the a soft light to the subject and can be diffussed to make it softer and create a skin glow of the model.

[@lightuser7352]

I liked the tip about using it as a sun. Would help on cloudy days

[@Fifthimagez]

This was amazing stunning images great job you inspired me with the Ad300 I had mines for a few now only used it once

[@nickbasiliou5744]

Setup #4 cloudy day fill looks natural and would be the technique I would use most. Nature is so unpredictable. This would give my shots consistency and look more professional.

[@KenGoddard1723]

I use an umbrella, either reflective or shoot-through, as I don't like harsh shadows. However, if it's black-and-white, using it without a modifier gives a good look. Next on my wish list is a parabolic with diffuser.

[@alexanderpons9246]

Very nice demonstration Mr. Aries Tao! Even if one has to start with just one strobe and standard reflector the posibilities to improve ones images are great. Thank you for all the content you make for us all learn from!

[@malonephotography]

Aries Tao became FASHION SHOW Photographer 😮

[@daelgamasphotography]

The method that resonated with me the most was using it for soft light. This what I try to do in my outdoor shoots. The AD300pro is versatile and easy to carry around. #AD300pro

[@eztvbox]

donnie yen actually a very talented photographer

[@malonephotography]

😂😂😂

[@kuntawong]

[@djfunkgut]

[@Frank19747]

Great work. I like the photo with the barn doors.

[@CappuccinoLife]

Finally a good practical video, amazing 101. More of this guys 🖤

[@GODOXGlobal]

Stay Tuned! We have more interesting videos to share!

[@josephchan4198]

Thanks for showing you can use a 300 watt strobe during the day time. Great work by the photographer.

[@Max-mh5yo]

his photos are simply stunning.

[@RonK]

excellent, thanks. awesome shots

[@raveldunningham9769]

Love the result of the second one (2:20)! Definily going to try! The third one is how I most use on my sessions but it's no a AD300Pro is a TT520ii. 😅

[@MrBanda77]

04:42 WOW!

[@josephchan4198]

This class is good for someone has Personal Work or Holiday Campaign in mind.

[@ignacioramirez6477]

Thanks master.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@anewcareerinanewtown]

Excellent and very professional shots

[@csaunders584]

Very good (informative) video. The model is outstanding.

[@SemPixels]

Great tutorials

[@GODOXGlobal]

Thank you!

[@micahaag169]

For me the umbrella reflector RFT 17 + UB 130 (too bad that in addition to the product information we do not have the exifs of the photos) ;)

[@Joesphotography]

If i was using it i would have pick the 4 way to use it, by using it with the shoot through umbrella . Cause for both indoor or outside it gives you both option to fill in shadows or by feathering you can deepen the shadow and can even still use it as a soften sun spot light when needed. Plus i see the using them both together to even do a Hollywood glam lighting like in the 40’s with a soft spot feel

[@GODOXGlobal]

Great ideas!!🤩

[@manoharmgr8235]

SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் ,CHENNAI -R.MANOHAR(MGR) INDIA,*

[@TMIDD]

🔥🔥

[@marclabro]

super video ! which camera and lens did you use ? I often have lens at same height than the neck but i see you often point camera much lower like on belly... is it because you are using a 24mm or so ?

[@AdamTV]

When using the diffusion layer do you use the regular reflector?

[@justcallmesando]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Edvanfleury]

I love the malabarism that he does to hold the camera and the tablet all together

[@user-tp6eg4le9s]

Hello, Aries: what an amazing content!. Could you tell us about your iPad wrist support?. I think it is a great way to shoot tethered on location. Thank you

[@nexttvc]

What software you use for photo edit and retouching?

[@JayMacPhoto78]

great video. What were you using to hold the ipad onto your forearm?

[@deepphotography8906]

good job

[@saudihermawan6599]

🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nexttvc]

what camera and lens you use?

[@stkuj]

I've been using the AD300 since it came out for 90% of my shoots. I like using it with a 7" reflector (mostly) at the beach & outdoors during the day. I also use a small soft box or beauty dish. I use it in the studio with a medium soft box. I just bought the Bowens adapter so now I dont even have to take that (stupid) bulky S2 bracket with me.

[@radustoica4876]

What lightstand did you use at the translucent umbrella UB-130D (5.41 minute)?

[@ricorozay9340]

What’s settings do you set the ad pro 300 to ?

[@Blackmind0]

i always use the ad300pro in the studio, but more and more also outdoor.....did you use HSS here outdoor or normal flash with 1/250 ? greets BM

[@AriesTao]

Has around 1/640

[@k8tv546]

just bought ad300 but i am serious problem with pick a multi funtion softbox. I looking for p120, 165 umbrela or ub 120 for save money.

[@NikolajFreiesleben]

Which lightstand is used

[@thebabyworm]

Is there a setting that would keep the flash from firing? Added new bulbs and the flash beeps but does not fire. It has fired in the past. Happening on two 300 pros. Reply

[@GODOXGlobal]

Hi If the lamp is installed in place and still can not flash, there may be a problem with the lamp head contact, it is recommended to contact the seller to repair.

[@dexterbrown]

What lens are you using?

[@AriesTao]

Sony 2470 GMII

[@vijaychitte6921]

So many pictures are extremely beautiful without lighting also …

[@logicmr.8351]

This is why I hate KZbin… makes me want to buy everything

[@blackbugmedia]
