You do a really good job explaining and demonstrating your topic of discussion!

[@AnthonyToglife]

Thank you so much @ltgyrl909, I very much appreciate that and I always try to be informative yet easy to understand.

[@AnthonyToglife]

Thank you so much Agnetha!

[@twotonesmybones]

Thank you for showing multiple examples and how things are changing! So many KZbinrs do one example or have it setup already, your way is way more helpful and informative! Thank you!

[@AnthonyToglife]

I really appreciate that feedback @twotonesmybones, I’ll definitely keep that in mind as I make future videos!

I have always hated when people say light wraps around their subject. 1. Nope 2. They are not your subject. Pet peeve. But a modifier can be placed to help open shadows as the shadow side of the subject/person will see the face of the modifier. It is all about angle of incidence and distance. The physics of light has been the same for many many many years. Nothing will change it. Not even that black dish thing. Very good explanation of how modifier placement and size changes the look.

[@AnthonyToglife]

We all have our pet peeves @rickjbradbury lol. To be honest there are things that are commonly said that irk me as well, but I try to remember that it’s more so just verbiage/terminology and not absolutes. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and offer your insight, thank you!

[@iamfraserk]

Beautifully explained. I just just practicing that same concept.

[@AnthonyToglife]

Thank you @iamfraserk! Practicing is definitely key, I’m always experimenting with something. Side note, I’ve been enjoying seeing all of your work over on IG!

Another great video Anthony! As someone who is new to off camera flash I found this helpful. Cheers ✌️📸

[@AnthonyToglife]

I am happy to hear that @Ryanphotos1. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@Ryanphotos1]

@@AnthonyToglife Thanks for responding Anthony. If I may ask you a question regarding flash triggers on new mirrorless cameras. I have a godox ad300pro. I am planning on buying the canon R8. I have the xpro trigger for canon. Have you run into problems with triggers and getting flashes to fire on new systems? Thx for taking the time ✌️📸

[@AnthonyToglife]

@@Ryanphotos1 I’ve used Godox triggers on my R and R5 for three years now, have never encountered any issues whatsoever.

[@Ryanphotos1]

@@AnthonyToglife Thanks Anthony ✌️

I like some shadows! some shooter share info based on what they think is a good shot. vs. yourself, is just sharing education. thanks

[@AnthonyToglife]

I find shadows to be very, very important (and needed) in portraiture. Shadows create shape and although we can “manipulate” the shape to look how we prefer, it’s still important. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@JoeBee721]

You on the swing.😂 Back to business.

[@AnthonyToglife]

To think, when I was a kid I would get it as high as I could, and then jump out at the highest point. I would definitely end up in a hospital trying to do that today hahaha. Thanks for watching @toshiba7444.
