These types of breakdowns from pros like yourself are absolute gold! Love your work.

[@MattHernandez]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watch in the kind words.

[@rignacio5199]

Excellent tutorial. Loved how you showed us how you worked through the various lighting situations instead of cutting the video to save time. Great job Matt. 👏

[@MattHernandez]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patrickdubois7692]

Thanks for sharing your steps and thought process during this shoot

[@MattHernandez]

Absolutely!

[@kennypringle4580]

Love the Pittsburgh Steelers cap! More importantly I like your videos as well as your very good photography.

[@MattHernandez]

HERE WE GOOOOOO! 👊🏽Thank you!

[@smscottphoto]

Thanks for sharing and talking through your process! Really like this videos format!

[@MattHernandez]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@claudiasilvestre4597]

I love your work! Amazing videos! I was planning on going to your workshop but i really couldn’t. I hope you will have another one this year! I have learned a lot from you! Thanks for these videos!

[@MattHernandez]

Thank you so much! I hope you can make one soon!

[@otiswheat8010]

Thanks for comparing the fj 400 fj the fj 200. I have wondered about this question for a while. Really good video.

[@MattHernandez]

Perfect that what I was hoping people would say!

[@thomasagabaonyango7548]

Great Video Mr. Hernandez. Very Informative....

[@MattHernandez]

Thank you!

[@xmonox50]

I been bouncing back and forth between getting the 3 FJ200 kit or the 2 FJ400 kit. I needed to see this! Although you get 1 less light, I think I’ll go with the 400.

[@MattHernandez]

Good call!

[@davidericksonmedia]

Such great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@MattHernandez]

Glad it was helpful!

[@centerlinefabsolutions8918]

Nice work my friend.

[@MattHernandez]

Thank you very much!

[@keepingtherubberdown5715]

Nice recap.. Could you have used a diffuser on the deep focus reflectors to soften the light a tad?

[@MattHernandez]

Yes you can! It actually come with one.

[@Velishotz]

I was waiting on you to drop🤝🏽

[@MattHernandez]

That’s awesome thank you!

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!

[@MattHernandez]

Thanks!

[@jasonjansen2618]

Mmm hmm. Nice try, Matt. Who Dey! Good stuff as usual 😜🙌🏻

[@MattHernandez]

Pshhhhhh…don’t make me ban you from the channel with that blasphemes talk! 😂😂😂 thank you!

[@mikegraham2477]

Great one. If you are shooting portraits mostly in the evening, would the difference between the two strobes be less if you aren't having to overpower the sun? And 185 texts waiting for you...man.

[@MattHernandez]

Hahahaha I know 😬 Yes that would make a difference if you don’t need the full power of the 400!

[@greggeis918]

Matt in a few weeks. Ok we’re going to set our shutter speed to 1/16,000, make sure HSS is turned off… It will be really cool to see how much you can push the A9iii flash power over ambient vs an ND filter at sync speed. I don’t really know if it will be fairly similar or you might get an extra stop or two getting the shutter speed around your flash duration. It will be really cool if you can get more out of a 200 then a current 400. Then of course the action shots will crush HSS performance. I’m really looking forward to that and the new work flow of getting the most out of your flash with an A9iii. I would imagine setting shutter speed so it doesn’t exceed flash duration, tweaking delay so it’s perfectly synced. Then I’ll be curious if that delay will be consistent for all flash powers or all wescott 200s or all wescott 200s and 400s or whether it’s necessary to tweak at all. So many questions…

[@MattHernandez]

Yes there are! But it’s going to be fun to find out. We are entering a new era! Thanks again for the support brother 👊🏽

[@Gee-is-him]

Could you do one at sunset and compare ?

[@MattHernandez]

I could possibly do that some time! The result would be more similar I would think because the sun wouldn’t be as challenging to overcome as it is during the middle of the day.

[@MRG_1]

Can I use the godox ad200 pro????

[@MattHernandez]

Probably? I’m not familiar with Godox.

[@sirBumpyCase]

find it funny that watt-second is used when it's literaly the same as joules

[@MattHernandez]

That seems to be the standard for strobes 🤷🏻‍♂️
