Great video! Thanks for doing this BTS. Looking forward to trying this next time I have a group in overcast light. Looking forward to more of these BTSs. I have both of your Lighting series courses and they are by far the best way to learn studio and location lighting.
I have been a follower of yours, and your work is really amazing ❤ I do have a question though, I want to get my first full frame camera as I have been using D3100 APC-s till now… so, do you think the D850 is still a good buy or I go mirrorless
It really depends, the mirrorless is going to future proof you. But the D850 is still a fantastic camera, one of the best. I used it on a job just recently.
@@felixkunze Thank You Felix… I will most likely get the D850 for I make the jump to Mirrorless… let me get myself familiar with a full frame camera before making the jump.
My class www.thelocationseries.com goes into this in more detail. However, what I would say to answer this is that if there was no ambient light, the artificial light would feel like a hard light. But in combination the ambient and artificial create a soft light with a bit of a ‘pop’
As always, I enjoy watching your teaching style, Felix. Your simple lighting to add directionality, along with the posing you did, makes this rock! Thanks for sharing. Did I understand correctly that Magnus brought your gear via car, and it had not been in the boat, for this one?
I've purchased the location series and it was super helpful. One question on this setup specifically - it seems like you were also feathering the light up, to avoid overlighting the boats and water - is that right? Also, with water, it's hard to tell but did you have to retouch out reflections from the strobe, or was it far enough away out of frame to not be an issue? Thanks!
Well spotted. Indeed, I try not to have the light shine too much on the water, for fear of horrible reflections, but as the surface was pretty smooth this day, I didn't have to worry too much. I don't recall if we had to retouch out the modifier, but in the past, yes we'd have to retouch out the actual modifier as well as its reflection.
Great to see your posting great content again Felix, you have been missed!
Hey, thanks! We also have a much more active Facebook group, just search 'lighting with Felix'.
this is a fantastic shot. Love it!
Great video, Felix! And that HAIR!! Dude!
First video that's actually good from the keyword I was searching. Very nice!
I'm very glad
I have an extended family session this weekend and I’m hoping for an overcast day. I will take my ad200 and use it like this!
hope the shoot goes great!
Happy to see you back after almost a year of hibernation. gr8 video as always. hope to see more

Great BTS video Felix… thank you. I especially appreciate that you explained exactly where your assistant was directing the modified light.
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It would have helped if you had talked about the settings for camera and strobe.
good feedback thank you!
great work and Activision , thanks for sharing, blessings to you and your crew,
New sub👍great video

That’s so great to hear thank you!
Thank you
Always enjoy your tips and style. Thanks :)
Thank you!
beautiful website Felix, fun to go through all the projects
thank you kindly!
I hate asking what your stop was, but you seem to have carried a very deep focus. The kid is sharp!
I don’t have the file in front of me right now but I imagine it was prob somewhere around 4.0 or 5.6 but the wide angle compensates
@@felixkunze and the ISO? Thank you!
@@maralavitt7558 I think it would have been between 100 and 400 at the most :)

@@felixkunze Thank You Felix… I will most likely get the D850 for I make the jump to Mirrorless… let me get myself familiar with a full frame camera before making the jump.
Thank you! May i ask how the distance of light affects how soft vs hard it is when mixing with ambient natural light?
My class www.thelocationseries.com goes into this in more detail. However, what I would say to answer this is that if there was no ambient light, the artificial light would feel like a hard light. But in combination the ambient and artificial create a soft light with a bit of a ‘pop’

Indeed. But the location was very far from the car so we were limited in what we could bring
Do you have a tutorial about color grading?
I don’t really :(
Making a living with Photography and teaching about it over 20 Yeaars...it is always a pleasure to listen to you. Greetings from Germany.
Very kind thank you!
