You’re very welcome!

Happy to help my friend! 💪🏽

I don’t! I always manually set my ISO, and I would say 85% of the time I’m right or good enough 😂

🙏🏽

Thank you for watching!

Agreed!!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome fr

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate you watching! For outdoor photo & video I generally keep it around 100 For indoor photo I’ll usually go pretty high, but never in the 5 figures lol, and mostly because I know my Sony A7R III can handle it and because of Lightroom’s DeNoise feature For indoor video I try to keep it as low as possible and I’ll never go higher than like the 1500-2000 range (mostly because if I did have noisy video footage I would not know how to correct it lol, so I don’t even bother raising the ISO any higher) Hope that helps!

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO thanks a lot! Helps a lot. Have been wondering, I’ve been leaving my iso on auto during events because it feels pretty nerve wrecking messing with settings mid event! Thanks again! I’ll have to test out Lightroom’s Denoise too!

Thank you for watching my friend!

Thank you!

I’ve never been hired for just video! I usually deliver ~20 photos & ~15 raw clips to 1 client for around $450

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO Thank you for the info, I've always made highlights/recaps in the past or done photos, but was recently asked for rates on 10-15 raw clips so I had no idea what the ballpark was.

It’s all situational and up for interpretation my friend! Within 24 hours of the set is usually my go to these days.

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO the problems with concert photography. The color Balance changes constantly ish. You can take picture just before and a few. I've done a totally different color bands so every picture's got to be. I don't know. It takes me at least minimal 10 minutes in lightroom, but I am a perfectionist so I never let anything go out, which is not quite right

Absolutely!

Happy to help friend!

That’s all you bro!

I would say a lot of the same principles apply! The only exception would be the last tip, since any other genre outside of electronic music doesn’t necessarily have a “rise & drop” - so I would just try and capture the best, emotional moments that tell the best story.

Yes! You’ll still have all of the tools & features to edit your video regardless of its orientation.

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO Thanks. That would be cool. I'll have to check it out.

I only lower the decibels to -10!

That’s when “gear doesn’t matter” starts to become incorrect because you’ll want a camera that can handle low light situations. Obviously shooting outdoors & during the day is one thing - but indoor venues and festivals you’ll want a camera that can crank up the ISO when you’re shooting at around 1/250. Plus Lightroom denoise is a game changer.

I’ll start planning out a part 2 🫡

Rode VideoMic Pro+ with the mic set to -10 decibels!

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO what camera do you use ? / what’s your dream camera for festivals ?

@@SWEETSTATIK I currently use a Sony A7R III, and I don’t think I’ve ever thought about what my dream festival camera would be 🤔 I would need to think about it for a little. It would definitely depend if it was specifically for photo or video, or both.

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO both

A good rule of thumb is before noon the following day, but if you truly want to stand out and are able to get the edits done same day or night - I say go for it. (Without burning yourself out of course, especially if you have multiple clients at the same festival) That said, it’s one of the main ways you can truly stand out from all of the competition!

Been meaning to! 🫡

I appreciate that!

Yes sir 🫡

Thank you akhi!

General liability insurance in case you accidentally break your gear, injure yourself, injure the DJ, run into or break any part of the stage production, etc Artists & festivals won’t even hire photographers if they don’t provide proof of a COI first - so adding it in your cold email effectively speeds up the process and you stand out from all of the competition

I’m sure you can create a new AE composition with a vertical aspect ratio by entering 1080 width × 1920 height for 1080p resolution Or 2160 width x 3840 height for 4K resolution Hope this helps!

@@TARIQABDELPHOTO yes i can create vertical compostion. but I want vertical workspace na

🙏🏽💙

I honestly never worry about it because the chances of a laser staying perfectly still and aligning with my camera’s sensor long enough to cause any damage are extremely low

Agreed! That is such a good deal for a lens so versatile 🤯

Happy to help! That’s what this video is here for 😊

Oh wow! I didn’t even realize there was an “infinity” setting on that lens I’ll make sure to give it a shot next time

Absolutely! Thanks for watching! Since the Canon lens only opens up to F4, I usually keep the aperture there, and I fluctuate the ISO depending on the lighting situation. Since the show I shot for this video was so dark I kept the ISO around 1000 or higher. The shutter speed was always 1/250th or higher unless I’m shooting lasers, then it’ll be around 1/50th For shooting video I’ll drop the shutter speed to 1/60th since my frame rate was set to 30FPS Hope this helps!

Yeah that helps a lot. Thank you very much 😊

Gotchu! 🫡
