Another great video from you guys (as always)... At 1:18 you mention a "correct" reading on your couple by pointing the camera's built in spot meter at them, but it is still a reflective reading so there will be different readings depending on where on the couple the 5 degree (or whatever it is on the camera) hits them. (White clothing, black clothing, half a face, stray sky...) Hitting a big, open sky with the camera's spot is admittedly fairly easy, though.
Hi! Greetings from India. I am a stepping into wedding cinematography, and have a lot good investment in Nikon Lenses. I tried shooting weddings with my Nikon D750 and Nikon D810 and the quality of the videos is superb! However, the autofocus of these full-frames in video mode sucks. Can you recommend me a good Nikon body for Autofocus during Video mode or it would be better to get a Canon 80D?
Shipping costs out of the country are prohibitive for many of our partners. Next month we'll be giving away a Syrp kit and they are international, so watch for that.
Why make it so complicated...just turn the flash off , have good backlight..and play around with the exposure until your happy.photoghraphy should be fun and creative, all this spot metering jargon just ruins it.
Thanks J.P, I've done a few silhouettes; but didn't know how to expose the sky. Thank you for this video

can you do the canon 70d VS canon 80d
I have one place I want to try this at but I have to ask permission first.
Norton flagged theslantedlens.com/giveaway as a dangerous site...so I didn't complete the query to access the site.
Thanks
It's a bit annoying that your giveaways are limited to U.S winners only. You have lots of subscribers here in the U.K, JP.
