When you switched the second backlight on at 3:00, I actually thought "You Badass!" 😂 Looks brilliant.

[@user-ky3or6nh9s]

@@LukeAyers don't know u believe u but I just want to share my feeling about a lovely night sky with many twinkle stars that I just saw in few minutes ago. You are the first person (reply) pop up on my phone! I stepped in a corner that I never went there before (don't why want to hit there on tonight), then I look up the sky,.....WOW~ so many stars twinkle twinkle, even turn around my head in 360 degree, still can see the stars appears in the sky.......feel the soft and gentle breeze, look at the stars, lights were suddenly off at 10pm, but more good to see the starry night clearly.

[@user-ky3or6nh9s]

Haha, I think maybe I am too lonely to share a starry-starry night feelings here.😄😊

[@LukeAyers]

Haha, that's lovely. Thank you for telling me 😁

[@Sara-kr1mc]

[@aishas8606]

[@LukeAyers]

Thanks!

[@suzy452003]

hello Luke i love your video they are awesome and so well presented, you sure have talent to teaching. I relaxed while learning I have looked around in your list and have not seen any regarding glass like surface like I make my art with resin and it is a very reflective surface , my painting are from 60 cm X 60 cm and smaller in size do you have any tips on photographing glass like picture , it would be awesome Suzanne form northern Canada

[@LukeAyers]

Thanks Suzie, with reflective objects you show position the light more to the side of the object so that it lights the object but does not reflect itself in in the surface of it. Does that make sense?

[@SeanDevine]

Dude, you are a badass!

[@LukeAyers]

Thanks legend!

[@Jwitherow1964]

Ride on Bro

[@smallcnclathes]

How about putting links in the description to you other basic photography videos? 101, jewellery, product etc. From what I see in the comments (which are all favourable) no one would object and it would just make them easier to find.

[@LukeAyers]

Good idea!

[@berealrelentless6237]

How about clicking on his channel, then click on videos, and an amazing thing happens, you get every one of his videos all listed. You can even do a search from there as well or even utilize the filters and break it down to exactly what YOU want. Cause that way you get what you need and most likely many more and the education and entertainment rolls on and on! Best of luck!

[@marineliaaguilar8279]

he reminds me so much of Hugh Laurie!

[@mrsirspencer9355]

Its so weird how positioning the lights like that, you've essentially created a diagonal line of light 🤯

[@LukeAyers]

Interesting, yes

[@engelicabringasbanez]

Im starting to. Like you hahaha...

[@dmtrainingclass1]

I want to c more videos from u............about photography

[@LukeAyers]

Sure! Answer my poll with what you want to see.

[@maureenchandlerreid7916]

Where is the link for the lights you used in this video?

[@LukeAyers]

Here's one: www.amazon.co.uk/YONGNUO-YN360-II-Temperature-3200K-5500K/dp/B072R5DK2F

[@kolapyellow7631]

Does this only work with verticle lights?

[@LukeAyers]

No, try it with all types and see the subtle difference it makes.

[@mikayel18ify]

65% better

[@Fitpm]

womans don't like dramatic look - it's better for men shutting. My photographer understood that just now...
