How do you decide what body to use on a shoot? I know you like your 1DX2,3 for when you’re outdoors and bad weather but for a controlled indoor environment why do you choose the 1DX over a R5 or 6?

[@cosmo0080]

if i can answer for her camera body is far less important than lens choice in this case it would not have mattered which body she used

[@VanessaJoy]

Right now I prefer the 1dXIII in studio if I'm tethering because it tethers easier to LR, and the R5 I like anytime I'm photographing people (and not tethering), unless the weather/conditions are bad and if so I go back to the 1DXIII :-)

Happy Holidays to you and your family Vanessa Joy

Beyond continuous light being more portable and being able to "eyeball" light/shadow areas are there any other advantages of cont. light? I've always considered it a tool for videography rather than photography.

[@VanessaJoy]

I actually wouldn't say it's more portable, you need to plug this in. :-) There are a lot of reason I'm sure people have, but playing well with the videographer on the same job is always one of mine :-)

[@scottsikes6414]

Vanessa, does continuous light versus strobe have an affect on pupil dilation? Does this come into play at all for a stylistic choice or anything?

[@VanessaJoy]

it does, but if the strobe has a modeling light you can do the same pupil dilation trick :-)

[@Betterifitsfree]

Excellent demonstration. Just to note that my 2nd choice has always been Easy + Cheap.

[@VanessaJoy]

It is crazy how our brains perceive color; I’ve seen pictures of the V-flat in black and white, but my eyes were trying tit elk me it was gray-ish in this one.

[@VanessaJoy]

It likely was a little gray. I didn’t totally black it out

[@tedming3515]

I wonder for how much Seth insures his "custom-made" reflectors before he lets them be used by anyone?

[@VanessaJoy]

Lol he just doesn’t let anyone use them

[@tedming3515]

@@VanessaJoy He let you. Wasn't it him behind the camera telling you: "Careful with that!"?

[@VanessaJoy]

@@tedming3515 yes. But he still let me :)

[@tedming3515]

Lucky girl.

[@VanessaJoy]

That I am. ☺️
