To much time in between Vong videos i need like 2 per week

[@dtechlogic]

i like your videos because you make it fun to watch instead of just a boring talk.

[@ReflectAmbience]

[@shadowcultur]

I been exposing for the highlights since the day I came out the womb

[@adventurealways]

Cameras be EXPOSING our skills in these situations! ...........I'm so sorry. LOL Thanks for the tips man!

[@R8Prototype]

wow this helps me a ton! This is a game changer. I was literally browsing amazon now, thinking I needed a star filter but the aperture trick is so useful!

[@JasonVong]

Glad to hear! Though a star filter could still be very useful depending on the intensity! It can help dramatized the look more than shooting at f9 shown in this video.

[@ordinaryrider818]

This is awesome info. Thanks so much, Jason

[@stew8584]

Thank you Mr Vong, that makes a lot of sense.

[@KellySedinger]

Ooooh, that is going to be REALLY helpful. Low light is proving to be a challenge for me as a beginner!

[@maruthkamath9304]

Super Thanks. Ready to try that out!

[@lenjester17]

shorty yet meaty!

[@nancyk9475]

Great video! Love your channel, even though I’m a Nikon Z shooter. This information is going to be so helpful to me

[@yonis8325]

Easily among your best videos ever! Tx!

[@hugomartinez3537]

I love your content, thanks for sharing.

[@QuiltGuildFilms]

Thank you for another great explanation!

[@phamwoaw]

yay! we made the video. was nice to meet you and Viv this night.

[@Shmack_]

Great video! I've watched other channels and yours have good energy and explain things simple and keep me engaged. Some others I've seen put me to sleep lol

[@KillerTacos54]

Thank you for this video!

[@NoOverhead]

Thanks for make learning fun!

[@sighhhmon]

this is a great tip! since you have the x100v i recommend playing with the DR setting, fujifilm does this in camera it’s really cool

[@RohitKumar-om6jr]

You know the target audience🔥❤️. Thankyou!

[@slarkstyle1901]

more of this pls

[@MisterWolfen]

This video got me to subscribe 😄😄 Such well crafted and thoughtful videos, keep it up dude!

[@JasonVong]

Welcome aboard!

[@myemail9981]

Very informative video.

[@akinshrestha3778]

great video!

[@QawiemJamil]

Great tip! It's worth mentioning the different exposure metering available in Sony cameras. I often shoot with highlight metering mode. I also turn on zebras to know if I need to use exposure compensation on top of that.

[@images7]

Very informative, thank you.

[@jackyhui2940]

@1.57 You said two second exposure instead of 2 sec delay shutter timer for unwanted camera button shake. Love your work keep it up!

[@ericredelman2568]

Mad respect for kit lens equivalent example. New to this so that is encouraging

[@kuroexmachina]

it's almost as if you need to master the exposure triangle and what part of the scene to expose for

[@Mike212]

Great videos & I am learning alot. Small ask: Please spend more time when doing photo comparisons so I/we can see the differences you are talking about!

[@palcente]

You can also shoot in bracket mode

[@robertbooher427]

Thanks!

[@JasonVong]

Super appreciate it Robert!

[@explodingheavens]

Shooting at night, I set 1/4 or 1/5 sec, shutter delay 2s, electronic shutter, handpod - use whatever available (ground, wall, second hand 😂) to stabilize more than just holding like you would normally. Give it few tries, 1 should be successful. But, shooting at night with bright lens is way better option if you are on the move with a little time on hands, even if it got to be manual lens. F1.1 or f1.2 are pretty cheap, depending on the price tolerance even f0.95. Getting focus might be a fun experience tho.

[@marcostulioaraujo6473]

Essa dica vale ouro ❤

[@MartinLavie]

That’s what I call a pro tip !

[@t-bobricemusic5795]

Love it

[@AQANVISUALS]

B roll always 🔥🔥 lol

[@HarvirSinghBajaj]

I love all your videos and i learn from it Can you suggest me Which one is better ,please make one video Sigma 70-200 or sony 70-200 for sony camera

[@NotSoNotorious]

Sony 70-200 if you care about the lens weighing less, not being as long, and slightly better autofocus. If you want to save money get the Sigma

[@TheKookyman]

So good

[@takephoto5]

love that

[@jbmedia8882]

Glad you joined the club. Been exposing for highlights since highlights were born. 😅

[@ElectroMedia-cs9ek]

cool video , I have seen you in several videos and they're always clean and crispy . I have a Sony zve10 and I have a channel on YT .its a how to education electrical channel . I always pick up new tips and tricks every time I watch one of these videos . thanks Jason for putting videos like this out there for people like me to learn from.

[@racingmaniacgt1]

Love the video, I really love to lean on the auto ISO and AI denoise these days...got some awesome high ISO results from my A7IV on my last trip that I even printed some of them

[@professionalpotato4764]

AI denoise is insanely good these days. I've gotten many decent results even at 12,800. What printer would you recommend for small A4-A3 size prints?

[@racingmaniacgt1]

@@professionalpotato4764 Sorry I didn't mean I printed my own picture, I got a few of my shots printed in wall print recently from online places.

[@whereisjohnnow]

I started using auto ISO in aperture priority mode more when shooting handheld. it keeps the shutter speed fast enough to avoid blurry pictures due to hand shake. I can always denoise my shots if I need to.

[@mustang2005]

What about setting the camera to just expose highlights?

[@ryzenbiel4145]

Wow thanks.. .

[@DavidsonQWERTY]

On Canons it is possible to choose the metering mode... the point mode (I think that's the name) it calculates the exposure for whatever is in focus... so just select a highlight as the focal point. Another idea might be to do an HDR in post: take a photo exposing for the highlights and another for the shadows... so the resulting image should (in theory) be well exposed.

[@xedarkrunner5167]

I recently went from canon m50 to Sony a7rIII.. I have to underexpose 1-2 stops now, cause I can pull shadows like crazy!

[@careylymanjones]

We old farts who used to shoot slide film know about exposing for highlights. Few things look worse than a transparency with blown-out highlights. Also, if you don't have a tripod, you can often brace the camera or yourself against a solid object and get another stop or two.

[@gutsnblood1376]

Super Thanks for the tip ( ＾ω＾ ) Did not know about this capture. Educational

[@user-vy1bs3zh9d]

Can i ask why you used the multi metering mode over the Highlight metering mode on the Sony?

[@YoungBlaze]

what mic is that

[@WheelnutzAMG]

Nice info. Qu. Recommended shutter speed Full Frame on APS-C? 4x? All the best for the season.

[@JasonVong]

You would still double regardless of FF or APSC lens on APSC body

[@EEE-kh3tn]

Great video! What do you think about clipping highlights with a raw file? I’ve found I’ve been able to recover those highlights.

[@JasonVong]

Yes! Usually very doable to clips highlights a bit and recover in post but the example in this video shows when we photograph really bright signs where the highlights inevitably get clipped. In this case, it’s better to underexpose the overall scene and rescue the shadows instead!

[@jaketran502]

F/4 and with that much in focus? I would’ve never imagined

[@Noealz]

Those street lights in Japan are too darn bright

[@SriManikandaSivam]

Now share the photo you took for my desktop wallpaper. Please 😊

[@lidge1994]

So, underexpose, then recover? Nice to know when I start editing.

[@fjuraa]

what about bracketing? :)

[@JasonVong]

Gotta save some tricks for the next videos 😅

[@samxlovegod]

😎👍

[@captainhow_]

can i achieve the same details with my zve10 ?

[@JasonVong]

Yes this tip can be applied with any cameras!

[@professionalpotato4764]

Reciprocal rule is a bit slow these days with high res sensors (if there's no IBIS). It was fine when DSLRs were under 20MP, but with 24MP being the baseline, I think 1/FL + 1/3 or 2/3 more shutter speed is safer. I usually do 2/3 i.e. 1/80 on a 50mm. Btw, do you ever use highlight weighted metering?

[@JasonVong]

I have but tend to always revert back to multi

[@coscimore]

Wouldn't it just be easier and better to take an AEB/HDR and stitch it in Lightroom?

[@ReinTaka]

can you talk about picture profile pllss

[@JasonVong]

What about picture profiles would you like to know more about?

[@ReinTaka]

@@JasonVong there r so many picture profiles on sony camera, i hav a6600 n i really dont know if theyre important or not, do i need them to enhance my photos or videos, do they useful in any situation or just specific situation.. n i wanna know if u use picture profiles or not, if u do what u usually use it for, in which situation, or do hav ur own preset on it for all photos or videos.. thanks in advance Jason.

[@sionkaze]

Yah...i had over exposed photos due to neon signs.. had to play it off as "my style and its intentional" 😅

[@JasonVong]

🤣

[@atahate]

I found that 90% of "videographer/camera enthusiasts content creators" Video is too dark for me. I need to max my phone screen brightness.
