Hey Anthony ... great work around 👍🏻 thank you for this Video
I had to watch this a few times for it to sink in but it was the video that I was searching for. I have a 4 stop VND, AD400 PRO, and should be getting the Sekonic 308x shortly.
👀👀👀 spit'n that Tog knowledge. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Out here tryin' @Philander Eargle Photography LOL.
I like how you explain concepts that are normally difficult to understand. I truly appreciate you taking the time to create this video.
You are most welcome @JB-ou6fl!
This was super helpful. Enjoying your channel a lot. Thanks!
I'm happy to hear this @Scott Brown, thank you so much for being here!
Thank you so much for this video and the others that you have done. Very easy to follow and understand. Flash can be a little tricky to learn of not explained correctly. Thank you!!!!!!
You are most welcome! Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏾
Nice instruction! I haven’t had a chance to play with my ND filter so far.
Maaaan, I use my ND's alllll the time at Roles Flipped, even outside of using flash. Sometimes I don't like using high shutter speeds because I want a slight bit of motion blur with my subject, ND's come in handy to help bring that shutter speed down.
Learned a lot! Many thanks🙏😊
You are most welcome @efreutel, thank you for watching and commenting.
Great learning video. Video looking great.
Thank you @J. Kimmer, I appreciate you coming through.
Excellent video. very helpful.
Thank you so much @kim fraser!
This is a great video. I’ll have to watch it 9 more times to really understand but i was so focused on trying to follow the math I barely noticed the bugs.
Haha, the bugs are always RELENTLESS out there, but I tolerate them ‘cause I love the views. I appreciate you watching and communicating, thank you!
Anthony love your videos, excellent content!
Thank you so much @DMootzPhotography, I really appreciate that!
Good stuff watched it last night first thing in the morning I gave it shot. I have the Sekonic light meter a 4 and 8 stop ND filter. The light meter really have given me a better understanding on setting the exposure. I still going to use the meter in the camera out of convenience but your explanation made it all easier to understand.
Very good to hear @jhenry248 and I agree completely, it is "easier" sometimes to just use the camera and not fiddle with a light meter. What I have found, however, is that sometimes the image will look right in camera but when I get back to the computer, I realize my flash was a bit underexposed. A meter would have helped me nail that exposure. So yeah, depends on how "important" the shoot is, lol.
Excellent job Tog! I appreciate you listening to my issues I had with this and your patience with identifying and explaining to me how I wasn't accounting for the ND stops properly. So you know I am extremely thankful for you putting out this video bro!
My guy! I appreciate that @RBJ Photography! This is what community is all about!!
Nice breakdown.
@TJ_Fox25 thank you good sir! Side note, what light did you get from Pixel?
Liked, subscribed, informative video.
Thank you so much @aceentertainmnt9249, much appreciated!
Another great video! If you could do more videos on using ND filters (as opposed to HSS) in portraits, that would be awesome!
Ask and ye shall receive @Austin Johnson, lol.
As always top notch Anthony. Your instructional videos are always easy to understand which tells me you are extremely knowledgeable about the subject.
Thank you so much @AP Studios, I very much appreciate that brother! Looking forward to meeting you in person at Imaging USA in January!
@@AnthonyToglife always happy to recommend a channel that helps others out. Your lighting videos are a great place to start for those that want to learn how to light.
Great video
Thank you @tarik robertson, I appreciate you coming through.
always a thumbs up .. but I was late on a comment.
@Charles Davis I know it brotha, you've long supported me and I very much appreciate it and thank you!
This is some really good stuff, Anthony. I can’t wait to try this out.
Thanks @Jim Worthington! I hope you've been good, I haven't seen any images pop up from you in a while.
@@AnthonyToglife Thanks. I slow down during the summer but should be back out there soon.
@@jimwlouavl totally understandable 🥵
Very good talk about using ND filter with ambient light and flash, it is really helpful and easy to understand with photo of the results. Great video.
Thank you so much @Agnetha LaDuff, I appreciate you coming through!
@@AnthonyToglife You're very welcome!
Very informative and specific. Get out the heat lol
@Dowayne Richards Jr thanks bruh! And let me tell you, it’s hard to escape the heat lol. It be 95 at midnight, so if I need to record outside, I have to brave it no matter what. 🤦🏾♂️
Have the Kase clip in 6 stop ND filter, plan on using it this weekend. Let’s see how it goes……..
Have you used clip-in's before @Teel ViZion? What's your thoughts on them? I've never used them and I've always felt they'd be somewhat of a pain when the moments came where you didn't need the filter, especially something like a 6-stop. Eager to hear your thoughts on your experience with them...
Great tips, mastering that opens so many creative possibilities. Those buzzing bugs must have been very annoying when you filmed this episode.
Thank you so much @Sebastian Bereś! I agree completely, knowing different techniques definitely makes you a better photographer. Now those darn bugs, they’re usually quiet during that time of day but go figure, they were soooo loud, but I had already hiked down with all that gear so I was recording a vid no matter what 😂
Nice video! I never used a ND filter for portraits! I understand the reason for one, just never can figure why I haven't used one! I use it for video all the time tho! Nice video
@STANDLEY SHELTON thanks my G! It’s funny, you never use an ND and I very rarely use HSS. These days I’m so used to using ND’s for my video that it’s second nature anyway to use one when shooting. I aways have my ND’s on me.
Get ND64 6 stops peeps!! and shoot within sync speed!! BUT!!! sometimes, 1/200 sec shutter speed wont freeze what you are shooting.. like waves breaking on shore. For this, HSS can be useful.
For me @Photo, a 6-stop would be too much most of the time. I've found that a 4-stop is the most ideal (yet I don't have one, lolol). A 6-stop would put you at 1/125 if you were originally shooting at 1/8000, which wouldn't be the case a lot of times, and shooting below 1/125 when doing portraits runs a high risk of subject motion blur. Of course one could combat that by increasing the aperture but that's "fixing" one problem by creating another, lol.
@@AnthonyToglife yeah... I just decided that 6 stop would be the best, cause it would bet the background as dark as I would be likely to ever need it and combat the brightest day I would come across. And yes, to bring that shutter back up to 1/200... sometimes have to increase iso to 200, 320 etc. I figured best to go a little darker in ND rather than not enough... cause you can always raise iso if a little too dark, cant go the other way 👍👍
@@photo2000 but what if you only needed, say, 1/2000 sec to get your ambient where you wanted it to be, a 6-stop would put you at 1/30 sec - would you shoot a portrait at 1/30 sec or would you raise your aperture to get you to a higher SS? Neither are ideal IMHO…
@@AnthonyToglife oh agreed... ideally you would have 3 or 4 stop ND. Just a choice on whether you want to buy multiple ND filters for each lighting situation you are in, or raise ISO to get optimum exposure for shutter speed chosen. If you environment and light conditions are setting you shutter for most at 1/2000 sec for you desired aperture most of time... 3 or 4 stop would be best. Down here in Oz at peak noon, its always 1/8000!! I'm just a bit cheap, and would rather just raise my ISO a bit if shutter goes too low, and pull out any noise in post 😂
You're handsome 😘😘😘
Aww, thank you @Sandra Taay! ☺️
Ever drop your iso to 50? 3 stop filter and drop iso from one hundred to fifty would get you your four stops.
ISO 50 is artificial and depending on what camera I’m using, it may or may not have it. Great tip though, for sure!
I can’t believe you are using Trader Joe’s batteries in your light meter. Jk. 🤣
Hahahaha, aye now! :-D
