Every time I watch one of your videos, that Jon Secada song, Just Another Day starts playing in my head, EVERY TIME, Without Fail.

[@SalCincotta1]

lol

[@donaldnga5135]

I really appreciate the way you bring detail to your explanations...it's always a pleasure for me to watch your videos

[@SalCincotta1]

Glad you like them! and thank you for saying that. i try to be quick and to the point :)

[@tom73bom]

Nice ones. Thank you so much for the video. Great work. And here comes the know-it-all: It is Watt seconds not Watt per second, because it is Watt times second not Watt divided by second. This is also why it is written Ws and not W/s. It is like the amount of energy when 400 Watts constant light shines for one second. Who actually cares? The photos look great. Thank you so much for the video.

Sal, were you in manual or aperture priority? Because i notice the shutter speed change.

[@SalCincotta1]

[@alanvandever9683]

Shots were much better after you turned the flash down. Nice video.

[@SalCincotta1]

ty ty!!

[@erossphelps]

Hard light is way underrated.

[@SalCincotta1]

agreed!

[@letstalkaboutit9730]

So you dont ise any soft box with these type of photos?

[@SalCincotta1]

i personally dont but thats because i like a hard edge dramatic light. but always remember - season to your personal taste and preferences.

[@letstalkaboutit9730]

@SalCincotta1 thanks.... I have a shoot tomorrow and I'm going to try this. Yours came out fantastic. What software did you use for editing?

[@SalCincotta1]

@@letstalkaboutit9730 awesome give it a try for sure. i used a combination of lightroom, photoshop and evoto

[@letstalkaboutit9730]

@SalCincotta1 yeah I'm only knowledgeable in lightroom. Guess we'll see how it goes. Never used evo

[@renestaempfli1071]

You could also do the same with the A9III and a speed light at much lower power.

[@SalCincotta1]

@@renestaempfli1071 no idea what your point is. Camera has nothing to do w it. And no a speed lite could not give the same throw or shape of light or contrast. And also going to struggle using a speed light at that shutter speed for hss.

[@renestaempfli1071]

@@SalCincotta1 the point is, if you use a camera with a global shutter, such as the A9III, you don't need hss any more, as the camera has no flash synch speed. Using a flash such as SONY HVL- F60RM2, the power is sufficient. I have done it , using a reflector either from Godox or ELINCHROM. You could even shoot more than 20 fps @ 1/256 power, ISO 250, F/1.8, up to1/80000 with such a combo.

[@SalCincotta1]

@@renestaempfli1071 oh boy. Sony fan boy stuff. I hate to say it but the global shutter is complete garbage. Very limited use. Only works w Sony flash. Lots of noise/artifacts. In the future I might agree. And I’m sure the tech will advance but right now it’s limited imo.

[@renestaempfli1071]

@@SalCincotta1 I have also used it with Godox V1 and at the high end with Broncolor Satos 3200. As a sports and concert photographer, I shot more than 40'000 pictures in sports and concerts as well as 1000 with high frame rate with flash at some special events, using GS the past 4 month. Image quality is not an issue, as the majority of the pictures are ISO 800-20000 in sports and concerts. DR is close to the A1 and better than the Z9 and Z8 for that matter. And no, I am not a fan boy. All I do is using gear that can do the job.

[@SalCincotta1]

again whats your point? did i at any point say the ONLY WAY YOU CAN DO THIS is with this camera and this light? You just had to stop by to be heard that you did it with this or that? great... i get it - you did it with a poloroid camera and a light you picked up the last time you were at home depot. cool. 2 thumbs up.
