  • @jer3006
    @jer3006 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good idea to do this video to differentiate among the 3 natural light shoots. I know I pretty much take for granted shooting outdoors and simply try to make each shot work. Never thought much about an underlying strategy about the process. I will now, and will be better prepared with your tips. Thank you.

  • @ZangLussuria
    @ZangLussuria 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I love this! I like how you explain which metering mode you use and why. One thing that a lot forget to do (especially when just starting) is to use the metering modes properly and they think that it's recoverable in post. More so now that dynamic range in cameras are great but still, there are scenarios where certain types of metering won't work with the scene.

    These tips were so helpful! Also Julia I'm switching over from Canon 5D to Sony😀. Wanted to ask your opinion on what body and a couple lenses to start with. I shoot portrait, family, children & newborn so I'm looking forward to that fast focusing!! If you could only pick one Sony body and a couple inches to start with what would you buy? Thanks for all your videos Julia. I can't even tell you how much your videos on shooting and editing have changed my photography and vision. You are amazing 🥰🤗😽💛💛
