Great work Francisco!
I am going to be buying a flashpoint 600pro and AD200 do you have a link that you would like me to use for you to get credit? Please respond by tomorrow
Thank you!
Gia Randazzo - Missed your comment but I have links to those in other videos.
FJH Photography love the shoot! Would love to hear from you more between shots instead of trying to read the small print!
That model is ASStounding.. 🙏🏿
very ASStute observation.
awesome feedBACK
great booty !
Truss me
Looks a little too big.
Love the shape of that "octabox"
octabox or the model , lol .
I enjoy your videos, but have a CC: Often you place your camera settings at the bottom of the screen. They aren't there for long, so when I pause the video the settings are overlaid with TH-cam's timeline. It would be nice if they were in an area where that won't happen. Thank you for helping me learn!
Great tip, I was going to mention the same thing.
YES!!!! AMEN
I second that motion
It's true. Thanks.
And making the text last a little longer on screen. I keep having to rewind, which is annoying in the end. May I suggest you go easy on the « liquify » tool in Photoshop... Useful video otherwise, thanks.
One of the best example. Practical and not just theory
Thank you!
Best type of model one could hope for. Photos look amazing! I’m definitely going with a 60” octo and a heavy weight to hold it down.
Great video - I think it would be much more helpful if it showed a split-screen side-by-side of the photos taken with the different modifiers. Comparing them is difficult when there's a minute between seeing each photo.
Yeah I dropped the ball on that. Learned to do that in my other videos.
very beautiful model.
Thanks again for sharing this video Joey. It is really helpful and makes me smile when I see how much fun you, Ashley, and the model have. Keep it up brother.
Thanks, Michael! Fun is a priority. =D
you're quickly becoming one of my favorites...I like that you mentioned the gear you're using and your settings, really helps...I don't think I saw the camera and lens that you're using...thank you for sharing
Thanks, man! I used the Canon 6D and 135L lens. It's my favorite combo. =)
I really enjoy your format for how you discuss the topic at hand. I've only watched two of your videos, but i have benefitted from both! Keep posting and I look forward to seeing the progression of your both your photography and video work! 👍
Awesome! Whatta a photo! Congratulations for your work. Really amazing! Impressive!
Nice demonstration with the different softboxes. BTW the model is beautiful.
Thanks!
About time lol nice video dude
Haha I know! Got more planned. Gotta catch up!
Love your videos Manny!! So informative and you have a Beautiful wife that knows how to model. Thanks you guys.
Manny? WHAT THE!!!!
I clicked this video thinking it was Manny's and here he is!
His images remind me of your images.
I LEARNED A LOT. This channel is very helpful
You won't notice that harsh light of small modifiers when using a bare bulb.
I tried with the 18" Godox AD-S7 and I couldn't believe it. Small is better 😉
Very helpful. I was recently deciding which softbox to get and this helped my decision. I went for the midway cause I'll be shooting food and still objects more than people and rarely outdoors.
Glad I could help. The midway (38") is the one I recommend the most. =)
Great vídeo ! Please can you keep the titles a bit longer ? I was going pause, play, pause, play to be able to read all the info that you kindly insert in this vídeo , thanks!
Thanks! Yes, I wish I could re-upload the video. This was my first and I realized I needed to add the titles on longer.
Questions:
1. What Mic did you use to record?! Worked really well!
2. What software did you use to edit?
Camtasia 8 to edit and used a H1Zoom Mic with a lavalier. That's what I was holding at the end.
can you do a video about the difference of parabolic and octabox?
thanks for doing this. I'll def stick with getting something between 28"-36".
Well done. Useful info. Nice to see you are having a good time while photographing. LOVE the bloopers! Hope your gear is ok. My only suggestion would be to place the camera settings on the top 1/2 or 1/3. When placed at the bottom, they are partially covered by the TH-cam timeline if you pause the video to look at the settings.
Great video.. this helped me in picking the 47" Octobox over the smaller ones.
Btw, the model in the video is NICE! She definitely working with something. Keep up the great work.
Loved the video. Great work! I want more videos like this. Model was great. Beautiful in every way!
Thank you!
I liked the look of the mid-size Sorbonne the 38 the best
Try putting the tallest leg of the C stand on the front, that should help and and perhaps prevent it from falling less. Other than that, pls continue your work!
Thanks, Ralph! I learned my lesson from this shoot for sure, haha.
Nice video. I notice you kept the model about the same distance away from the octas in all the shoots. Any particular reason for this? The sweet spot for best quality of light* is usually the distance from the light to the model being the diagonal measure of the light source. So with a 18" soft box, your best quality of light is to have the light 18" away from her. With a great big 60" octa, your best distance is to have the light 60" from the model. That may be why you noticed the 18" as having "harsh" light - it was too far from the subject. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work.
*"best" is entirely subjective, of course, but the formula I mention gives soft light with nice wrap and transition to shadows.
Thanks a lot for this video
You're welcome!
That Size !!! Love it !!!
Me too! 5ft is so awesome =)
Great video, and beautiful model. One question, what type of speed light were you using? Thanks for sharing.
If you could only pick one....which one would you select?
38". It's portable and soft. =)
Great Vid Man
Appreciate the Test - Photos are beautiful
Thanks, Stephen!
The video is very good, I ask you what flash is made with and what power? thanks from Argentina
She's gorgeous!
And this was helpful.. Thanks for making this video!
You're welcome!
useful video! thanks. adding a BD would've been a bonus
Have you ever tried to use 40x40 softbox with the Godox 860ii
I really loved this video , great work and a great way to show that size matters. Where you shooting with a 70-200mm lens ?
Thanks, Joshua! I used my Canon 135L. Favorite lens =)
Great video to display the difference. Thank you.
Beautiful pictures. Very helpful for making decision.
Thanks and you're welcome =)
Great video dude! Keep them coming.
Excellent comparison, thanks!
Nice video, Why dont you use grids on the softboxes direct the light better.?
Thanks, Stu! I didn't have a grid for my 60" or 38" at the time.
Hi FJH
Make HSS shoot in studio and tell us about what condition we use HSS in studio
That's great idea. I'll add it to my list. =)
Aftab Khan You don’t need HSS in a studio for the most part because you don’t have to battle bright ambient light, which forces the use of a higher shutter speed.
Hi there, I just want to say thank you and i appreciate your video.
Hello all the way from Malaysia :)
Hey there! Thanks for watching! =D
Your photo is wonderful
lol POP in the Flash x-D Great video, amazing model...simple setup...great shots...Thanks for this :-)
Were you shooting in high speed sync for all those photos?
What time of the day to best shoot your models with the Octabox?
Great video! Very informative. Funny Captions!
Thank you! =D
superb shots and great informative video. Thank you... subscribed
Thank you Francis, very helpful
You're welcome =)
Nice video Joey! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Randy! Thanks for watching =)
Following on IG. Great video with some awesome tips!
Francisco do you mind if I pry and ask what kind of handle/hook on your c-stand/light stand is making it possible to hang the camera bag on? (P.S. I hope I am not spelling your name ron!)
Good video, very nice pictures, amazing quality. And the girl is gorgeous
lovely model
Great video!!! I hope you do more!!
Just put one out yesterday and hopefully another coming tomorrow. =)
what speed and what ISO did you use, what diaphragm?
It's like bacon for your eyes. Keep up the good work!
Haha thanks!
Great video and pics man...thanks
She deserves extra pay for saving your lighting. Seriously surprised that even a heavy C Stand tipped over that easily
great video... my preference for the video format would have been for you to narrate the pros and cons... but otherwise shots and video are still great...
I have a lame voice or otherwise I would have done that, lol.
Excellent video. What setup are you using to record the audio for the video?
Thanks! H1Zoom with Azden EX503 lav mic. Updated the description with that info and links.
Awesome work bro !! keep going ! Also im in love with your model
Haha thank you!
What about distance from light source to subject? That has to have some effect.
It does. I kept the lights very close to get the softest version of the light they produce.
Interesante comparativa de equipo. Un saludo.
Manuel Gil grax
Plus super hot model!
Awesome comparison. I wanted to ask, where did you get the speedring to mount on the Buff octa to mount to the S-Bracket?
That huge softbox is SO WORTH all the hassle, wow :D The light quality is uncompareable.
Totally agree!
I have see this Video Many times !!!
She has nice body but I like the 36 however I saw it fall of by the wind even though I think I will go with it decent soft light and easy set up finally it is good size
The 38" is my favorite modifier for soft light and travel.
You rock, man! Cheers!
Thanks, Ilko!
I had to pause a few times, and replay to read the text. Other than that the video and the info was good. Look forward to more videos
I dont know if the problem is on my Side (Opera and html5) but you show the photo, then you blend in the settings, which I can bearly read while I focused on the picture. When I want to pause the youtube Timer is over the settings :(
It also would be Interesting which Flash Power do I need for the Octa´s. Can I go with a Godoxtt685 into the 38" Glow with HSS or do I have to step down to a 23" softbox?
Other Question, would you rather buy a Godox ad600M or a A360. More power for a little bit more money (I dont need the ttl for 1 flash Settings)
Otherwise I really liked the Video.
Great feedback. Yes, if somehow TH-cam let me change the video with an updated version I would do that right away. I did a lot of changes after uploading the video. My light was on TTL but I know it was probably around 1/4th power and that's more than the tt685 on it's own. I'd go for the xplor for more power because that leads to more possibilities in my opinion.
Good work, great vid.
I saw your Instagram, you rock my friend!
Thank you so much! =D
was that Eli on the back?
Dude - how did the Streaklight 360 survive! Also, what do you think about the streaklight?
Love it! Portable and strong. I know! Sometimes I forget it has dropped that hard. It's still going strong though. =)
Awesome video man!
Thanks, Josh!
damn that model is fine as hell, anyway,,, good shots , i will check you out on instagram
Were you using HSS throughout the shoot and did you do any post-production work on the photos?
Yup the entire shoot and yes just a little. I try to keep the post very minimal for my videos.
I'm in love
Great vid!! Cant wait to get my hss triggers! And btw please let your model know she if hott as hell!! 👍👍
Haha, thanks, David!
Hello sir,,,, what is name of your actorbox?
I use a 60" Fotodiox EZ Pro octabox now.
Thank bro,,,, hope to learn from you more
can i ask what the name of the background music is?
Nice video subscribed since now!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy the next video!
Love the videos,, Would you know if the set up you have in this video will be compatible with a Canon 7D
Thanks! Yes, it's compatible with most, if not all, of Canon's cameras. =)
Thanks for the info, I thought would be thanks for the clarification.
No problem!
So by your light being on TTL mode it automatically adjusts for you?
Yes it does but I recommend shooting manually now.
@@fjhphoto why could you do a video about this? i was considering TTL but i didnt understand the real reason
Hi Francisco, did you use CTO gels in your flash?
No for these shots I did not. I rarely use gels.
Love the video, Geez you must have some credibility if Manny is supporting you :)
Haha we're friends and support each other. =)
I have a Phottix 60x60cm, aswell as Neewer 60x60cm, thats (~23'') softboxes. Im looking for something of good quality that spreads the light really well.
I want a good all arounder, mainly for outdoor shooting, (I don't own a studio - and I don't have assistants). I own three Manfrotto 1004BAC stands which I use with Nissin Di7000A speed lights.
Given this information, what would you go for a 90cm(~38'') octabox or a 120cm(~47'') octabox. I'm pretty new to Octaboxes, I'm mainly a street/landscape photographer with little to no light knowledge, but I am trying to find a middle ground between good yet not so expensive gear, that can last for few years and still be versatile, I never used anything else other than Softboxes.
Another question I have is:
I really like the look deep octaboxes appear to give in photos, at least in studio, the dramatic effect really appeals to me. On the other hand, I don't own a studio, as mentioned above, and I'm mainly looking to light my subject from the front when using the octaboxes with soft light (indoors) or as 45º sidelight (outdoors). I know too many variables too answer to a zero clue light/portrait photographer.
So, considering you can buy one and only one, what size/shape combo would you take and why?
My heart dropped when the light fell
Great job
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் R.MANOHAR-CHENNAI
Nice video dude, but probably the worst day to shoot outside! :-)
For these shots did you add softness in PS, or just minor LR retouching? Thanks and great video
Thanks, Vadim! I didn't add softness for the shots. All of these were minimally edited with only blemishes and stray hairs removed. Putting the light really close for all the shots helped give soft skin to the model.
Thanks, also one more thing, for your off camera flash in TTL do you use auto iso, and keeping the rest in manual on your camera? Thanks
I keep the ISO on the lowest and aperture wide open so I can just worry about shutter speed.
Great video! Gonna give Manny a run for his money! Lol!
Jim- Francisco and I are friends. No competition here, we encourage each other
What Manny said. He inspired me to make videos and we both can grow together =)
like the 38"
Wonderfull video
What the hell!?? $220 for the 38"??? I was not expecting these to cost THAT much
Do the flashpoint StreakLight 360 TTl have a modeling Lamp?
It doesn't not but the company cheetahstand makes one and Adorama made this thing called a speedlite partner that attaches to speedlites;
bit.ly/FP-SpeedlitePartner
I have it. =)
Thanks
