Oh that's awesome to hear! Do you have an IG account? I'd love to follow you.

Gracias!!

I do tend to go over the double the frame rate shutter speed, but I find that very little video quality is sacrifice as a result. So if it’s a matter of getting it quickly or not at all, then I choose to get it quickly otherwise I do pay attention to the frame rates and the shutter speed. I’ve been doing this for years now and it’s been really successful for me, have you tried it? And thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching, I’m really going to try to work on this channel this year

Glad you think so! I’m really going to make an attempt to make this year be the year that I really post a whole lot of stuff.

Thank you so much, do you have an Instagram account that I can follow? I would love to be friends.

Thanks a lot! I hope all is well.

Thanks for watching.

It’s the ad 200 and I have it at such low power that you can pretty much shoot as much as you want. Thanks for watching!

Everything does have its place. I literally just put my bags in the car after being done with the wedding in a place that was so crowded that I could not move and I could not light it the way I would light it so I had to use Bounce flash. I put an off camera light in the corner, shot light into the ceiling, and then use an onboard flash to bounce flash because it was so dark there. And you know what happened? Everything got lit up perfectly. It was all draping over the entire scenery. But I don’t like that. I think it sucks. I think that if you have more directional light that gives you some shadows, it looks so much nicer. I could’ve just used one bounds Flash, but every time you move, the flash would be different because you’re bouncing it off a different wall. It would be so inconsistent. It would drive me nuts, so yeah I think fans flash sucks but it’s necessary sometimes.

Thank you for watching Christian, I am really going to make an attempt to make 2024 be the year that I really pay attention to this channel so be on the lookout for more. Thank you so much.

Thanks for watching! I totally respect them too. To have achieved what they’ve achieved is amazing. It’s from them though that I learned that being ultra successful doesn’t really rest entirely on how good you are. That sounds bad, the way I said it. Ha.

Oh no really? I haven’t seen lag on the z6Ii but honestly I hardly ever look at the screen on the ninja. I only really use it as a way to record. I wish they made a small recorder like the old days. The ninja star would be perfect. You can’t even buy that anymore used anywhere.

Glad you liked it! It means a lot to me that you’re watching.

This was the most difficult spot that I had been to in a while, but only because they refuse to turn their lights white. Most places will accommodate you and do that and then only turn the lights all crazy during the reception portion of it. This place won’t even listen to me and there was that crazy lighting all throughout the ceremony and everything else.

That’s a great idea. I’ll be sure to do Include that actually. Thanks for watching!

@@LunaBellaPhotos thanks for listening 😎😎

You’re welcome 😊 thank so much for watching

Right! I was shooting video once and this photograph asked to use my video light because it looked nicer. I asked her, why do you think it looks nicer and It turns out her on board flash was on Ttl and her exposure were all over the place. I really wanted to ask her how much she charged, haha.

@@LunaBellaPhotos ha ha yes I’ve seen photographers who charge way more than me and they’re camera settings are all over the place and they’re photos are rubbish and I don’t know how they get booked

Thanks so much for watching. Unless I totally forgot for this wedding, I did gel the lights. I Own the Magmod gels and it’s so easy to slap them on the lights. The orange warmth is such that I’m Comfortable with because it’s me trying to preserve the aesthetic of the room. It’s really really warm in there but I didn’t want it to look that warm in photos.

@@LunaBellaPhotos Oh yeah, I can tell when I compare the videos to the photos.

You’re first! I’m going to try and post twice a week. Maybe even more. Thanks for watching!!!

@@LunaBellaPhotosSince I’ve been watching your videos , I have confident to try off camera flash at the wedding which will happen in Seventh place. Thank you

Oh, you’re so welcome and thank you for the feedback because now I know that I should spend more time on each video to fully explain everything that I’m doing. I was really doing them really fast before because I had such a busy wedding season. I had 16 weddings in October alone so I barely had any time but now it’s slowing down so I am going to take my time with these videos.

It’s on my chest but more towards the left. On my camera strap. I used to have it on my hot shoe but I didn’t really like it there. New weddings though starting this Saturday I’ll have the go pro and the ninja atomos records the evf of one of my cameras. Thanks for watching b

@@LunaBellaPhotos I appreciate your response. I like the position of your GoPro than those who have it on hotshoe. Which version of GoPro?

Hi! Oh cool. I want to see your work. Are good on IG!?

@@LunaBellaPhotos unfortunately most of my fulfillment is album work I keep a a few stills on hand to showcase my work for potential clients. I’ll DM you a few images. Also I’m new to the mirrorless world and yet to master the off camera GoDox

@@miguelelliot8921yeah message me. I’d love to keep in contact.

Yes I do! I have gels from Magmod and they are awesome.

@@LunaBellaPhotos I guess u r using the orange ones? Do u always proceed like this indoors?

Not always. Only when the ambient light is a little warm which in this case it wasn’t super warm but I believe I used a 1/4 cto gel for this venue.

@@LunaBellaPhotos Thank you!

I’m so glad it was helpful. I actually I’m going to do videos where you can actually see the evf but I won’t be able to record that way until this Saturday and I already have about 25 weddings recorded on a GoPro. Flash is a little difficult. I actually have been taking a student with me to the past eight weddings and he has now I would say fully picked it up. Thank you so much for watching!

I would say that the hit rate is high. Yes, you might get some misses but honestly within that little rectangle you will not get that many misses and so I find it hard for somebody to switch over to Sony or canon just because they think they have better auto focus. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for explaination! So you use AFC with WIDE rectangular focus area and put the rectangular on the face, is that right?

Only when the subject is moving really fast like on the dance floor or when the subject is moving towards me. Otherwise I’ll use the single point and recompose method. I tell you, using this the single point method makes it so I hardly ever miss focus.

I actually did use three lights here but I hardly spoke about them because they didn’t really add anything to the photo. These days I only use one off-camera flash or a little bit of bounce flash, but really 95% of the time I only use off camera flash. I have never used a bracket and probably never will. I just don’t think it’s necessary, because honestly off-camera flash to me is the best way to go in nearly every situation. I’m going to have more videos with it even more explanation. This year has been ridiculously busy and I just couldn’t keep up with making TH-cam videos, but next year should be better. Thanks for watching!

@@LunaBellaPhotos thank you for taking the time to respond, the reason i asked is becuase i do private events and ive seen guys use off camera flash plus flash bracket or even constant like too

@@xosemusic you can for sure try it because that is an option but I think the brackets are more old school. I know a ton of photographers used to use them 10 years ago but I really think if you use off camera flash and bounce flash you’ll get better results. What’s your IG? I would love to follow you.

@@LunaBellaPhotos @josesosa.raw ...im pretty new

I promised myself that next year I will not take on 57 weddings again like 2023 or 62 weddings like in 2022 so I plan to have more time to dedicate to TH-cam. If I can manage to not overbook myself I will put so much effort in showing everything. Everything I offer, how I work out schedules, how I do everything. Thanks so much for watching!!!

Thanks!!

Oh I want to see how you do it. Do you record your weddings too? I would watch them all.

I do not record our shoots. I may start doing it in 2024 ( "Full on" enough shooting stills and a highlight Vid Ha ha) @@LunaBellaPhotos

Thanks 🔥

Thank you very much! I actually have a Ninja V and I am going to get recordings right from my EVF for future weddings so you can see everything. Bad thing is, I already have about 20 weddings recorded on a go pro before I can get to the new weddings. Thanks for watching!

Yeah man, most of the time they are cool to work with but I hate it when they have those obnoxious lights and when they don’t keep to the schedule.

@@LunaBellaPhotos yes I have problems too when them bloody lights shine on peoples faces in photos

Thank you so much!! How’s life these days. I hope really well.

Hi! This is probably the best comment I’ve ever gotten and I appreciate it. I really should make it clear though that all of what i say is only my opinion. Giving facts and examples isn’t really what I do right now. I’m so busy with Weddings. I have 57 weddings in 2020 so I’m always editing or taking pictures and then I take some time to make these really quick videos of me photographing a wedding. I put it together real quick, and just talk about what’s on my mind or what I want to make the topic of the video but always with behind the scenes footage of some thing. Next year I’m not going to be as busy because I promised myself that I would not book as many weddings, so I really want to do more videos like the ones that you’re talking about. Hopefully that can happen and thank you for watching so much.

@@LunaBellaPhotos Yes, I figured as much (that you are very busy as a working photographer (OMG - 57 weddings), and that much was your thoughts at the moment. I did get that - and the only reason I left the comment is I cared enough to watch it all the way through. Again, those were my thoughts at the moment - from having experience with other art forms. Just something to think about. Appreciate the effort, brother. Keep up a healthy workload and some time for yourself!
