Sunrise portrait shoot & edits: Leica SL2-S

[@calebstasko]

Love having the shoot and the editing in one video!

[@Goughie]

Really enjoyed this! Great shots! Loved the explanations and what a stunning location!

[@josephharmon8606]

Big fan of this style of video!!! This and the roadtrip/ car camping have been my favorite

[@tiarebowman]

same!

[@jaychow94]

The colours in the shot at 10:37 has made me want to sell all my Fuji gear and get an SL2 to go with my M10-M 🤣

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Let’s go!

[@Mulokaj]

Rosie is wonderful. A beautiful, natural soul.Forrest, what are your favorite adapted lenses between 35-50mm? Bought the SL2-S for the secound time today :D.

[@RamonBrito]

5:09 Leica fan boys rolling their eyes by the comment lol. Lovely shoot and process cheers ❤🎉😊

[@andrewkerns6777]

Haha! I have the same lens. It hurt, just a little...

[@jessysanchez9414]

As always Forrest, great work. I learned SO MUCH. Thank you for taking the time to create this video for us. :)

[@thomasconroy5221]

Amazing video as always! Would love to see more of these shoot/edit combos. Posing has always been one of my biggest struggles with portrait work so it was incredibly helpful to see you and Rosie develop the right pose for the shot together. I often forget that organic trial and error are always a part of the process!

Really enjoyed the video and getting a better idea of what you are looking for in an image and your edit process.

[@samuelkuro]

Beautifully executed video Forrest! Love the mix of on location shooting and editing thoughts.

Nice job Forrest. Way to work the scene (and light). Especially liked her portraits. Have to say I loved the soft pre-dawn light on her at the rocky point better than post-sunrise. The fog scattered the light and lit her face. But I'm old :-) and don't generally prefer the current popular style of shooting into the light, purposely flaring your lens, over-processing, etc.

[@jasoncao8964]

Really helpful video, loved the thought process while shooting!

[@AlexBallHere]

Love the video! I went to snag the preset bundle but I dont see the add to cart on the page anymore. Is the bundle still available for purchase?

[@hugomartinsphoto]

I really like this videos in the field

[@alessandrocitterio]

Shooting and editing in one video is so good! If might ask you something for a future Q&A video is how you deal with your personal taste with commercial work when editing. For example, with my client, I always have to go with real colors and real light, while I'd love to deliver something more aesthetic but realistic of course.

[@brendonwilson1318]

Your comment about the light being more important than the frame seems to be something that comes naturally for me. Whenever I am shooting people we typically got to the location and the first thing I do is look for where the light is. Specifically dappled light, or lighting hitting an area with a nice background. Typically wherever the light hits has the best frame anyway! My 2 cents on the sluggish ae-1: just replace it. It's not worth the wasted frames. I'd reccomend replacing it with a nikon FG. It's small, has a super 80's style, all the same features as the ae1, and takes the nikon AIS lenses you already seem to be collecting. It's great in low light as well because it has LED meter readout.

How do you feel about using Tiffen filters to tame down the sharpness of modern lenses? Thanks for the great videos!

[@sundinstefan]

What app is that in the beginning to track the sun?

[@paullichte]

If you hadn't said anything about the mic and the iPhone at the beginning, I would not have noticed. good solution with the chest pocket and beautiful pictures as well!

[@healthid]

Any plans to do your presets on Capture One? I'm sure it would be a massive PITA, but for us non-Lightroom folks it would be lovely. Edit - ignore this comment -- just saw your CO style pack! (Your links always go to LR and the CO option is kind of hidden.)

[@GamachePhoto]

Nice images, love your style! Which close focus M to L adapter are,you using?

[@alucard19]

how do you feel about the 35mm sl summicron been thinking of getting one for my sl2s would you say it was worth the price tag

[@jginmt]

Rose is a trooper the water in MT is cold. I thought I new most places in MT. I am guessing you were around Flathead or Swan Lake. I would love to know what lake you were at.

[@margetschistah]

Man the colorgrading of the video is amazing! Who did this??

[@peterdenhartog60]

What camerabag are you using iin this video?

[@Jakechams]

I miss you and this video makes me want to come visit you.

[@dopagony9946]

have you had any regrets not going with the SL2 with the larger MP sensor? Im considering the SL2-S So just wondering.

[@ForrestMankins]

None at all! Image resizing software is really good and idk I haven’t felt like I need more for commercial work

[@nvt91tkd]

what the name app for lighter, pls

[@JujuBerry]

Love it! 🔥

[@shasha8900]

Wonderful

[@JGphotoyt]

Anyone know the app he is using for the position of the sun?

[@simongentry]

F- will you consider getting the SL3?

[@changez77654]

I know its not the point of the video - but I'm pleasantly surprised with the audio quality from the iPhone

[@ChrisBoultonPhotography]

6.25/6.26 are beautiful ...
