This was a very cool video thank you for putting it together! I've been thinking about getting into event photography -- and always struggle with gear selection. You've made it look effortless with a small amount of gear!
Another very helpful video. I appreciate seeing and hearing your real life experience. Such a change from the abstract volume pumped out by most photography channels
If you go higher on your ISO red should be the first color to start to go. On my Micro Four Thirds cameras at ISO 3,200 no red cheeks. The red is still there but harder to see. But when I used DXO to remaster the raw file the red comes back.
Really brave of you to show this event coverage "warts and all" John ! Having worked events for over ten years I know only too well how tricky it is to get the correct looks, background, WB etc etc One thing I did wonder about was the image delivery - how did you deliver them and also did you deliver any personal images to attendees? If so did you charge them or was it an all inclusive fee ?
Another excellent, informative video. Thank you John. It would be great if one (or more) of your videos covered how you handle the hundreds or thousands of images taken at an event like this. It would be interesting to learn about the post processing to deliverables steps and, for that matter, what the deliverables actually are for a job like this. Looking forward to the next installment of The F/Stops Here.
I really liked this demonstration , and I’m impressed by the performance of that stylish on camera flash. Thanks for your Leica , and om systems coverage.
Great video. Very informative. Would you ever try your OM 1 MkII and 25mm f1.2 and FL-700R a try at an event like this? Not that the Leica isn't great...
@@kaskoPhoto Because the two cameras are so small and light, would you consider bringing both to get two focal lengths? Or, would two systems be a bit confusing... By the way, if you can find a Pen-F used in good shape, you should try it. It's a really fun little camera!
Love the run and gun style of shooting. Trying to get the best results without a light stand or assistant. Do you think it would have made a huge difference if you hand held the flash off camera?
Not really. I like the look of these shots and as much as I do love the control of the handheld look- at a fast paced event, it’s hard to keep reminding people to look at the camera, not you hand with the flash.
Loved hearing your breakdown of which photos the clients and vendors want and why. Great insights. What lens(es) did you use? Do you recommend certain lenses for specific types of shots? Incidental shots, people shots, etc.
Your videos are always great and very inspiring. It is amazing to see the awesome results you get out of the M under such difficult situations. So much to learn I have ...
I learn so many practical techniques watching your channel, thank you!❤
Very welcome

Thanks for sharing.
Gracias
Great choice to avoid the warm red skin tones. The go pro was all over in colours :D
Looks like you shot the whole event with a 35mm. Am I right? Thank for sharing your thought process, it does help.
I did use the 35 throughout

Great video. Seemed so meticulous. Did you use more than one lens? Which one(s)? On the Leica?
Leica M11P with only the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2
John - is the girl in the black dress and ponytail your daughter?
She is
I like your attitude towards this type of event it must be quite awkward.The images were superb.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching.

I actually had it packed for my last event, but decided to take the Fuji at the last minute. I will definitely be using it at future event.

I used the Voigtlander Nokton 35 for the entire event. Since the majority of shots were people and in a tight venue, the 35 worked perfectly
👌📸👍 great tips!! Do you manually set your white balance? Or leave it In auto
Manual on white balance. With those colored lights it screws with the balance to much

Just take your time and stay with it. The journey is as fun as the destination.
Thank you again for your great content. I always learn so much from you 🙏
Thank you for watching. I am happy to share.
Good stuff, from a real pro. Well done, Thanks for sharing John..
Thanks for watching as always. Appreciate you
What’s the flash you are using. Newb here, after watching many of your videos, thinking I need to get one and learn how to use.
It’s the Leica SF40
@@kaskoPhoto thanks!! I’ll poke through your other videos again, I have a ZF
35mm lens?
I’m also interested on the focal length and is the delivery in the original 3/2 format or was a 4/3 crop applied in some of them?
Yes it was the Voigtlander Nokton 35 f/1.2
great video, I love it to learn and view the event. hug from Brazil @m_pavaoo
Thank you and thank you for the virtual hug! Needed that this morning.
