  • Can the Fujifilm X-T3 hang with full frame cameras for low light wedding photography? Wedding photographers have blindly accepted full frame cameras as the industry standard for low light, but this video might change your mind. I take you behind the scenes of a low light church wedding ceremony with the X-T3 to see for yourself.

      What I most appreciated about this listening to your thought process. Very clear and should help those starting out on how to make a checklist for their coverage and not feel frazzled. Based on your title, I was expecting a really dark church like Mission San Jose in Fremont where there are hardly an windows for natural light and pushing the APS-C to 6400 and above. Wanted to see how you were combatting that. I know the folks over in the UK that shoot in castles end up opting for really contrasty images and are able to create high drama imagery which is cool and a great way to work with the constraint of the equipment. For us, we've decided that the X series just hits a wall for low light and detail retention at those higher ISOs, especially when my subjects get really small in the frame.
      Awesome job on the video. Looking forward to the next one.

    • @Reggiebphoto
      @Reggiebphoto  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      stephen heraldo thanks for the comment. I would combat it using the same rules. 12800 iso if I need to. At the mercy of the venue. How else did people shoot back in the day haha. And glad you enjoyed the thought process. It’s definitely something I thought was missing from other TH-cam behind the scenes videos

    For those who are thinking "this is not a low light situation": ISO 3200 at f/1.4 translates to ISO 12800 at f/2.8, if the shutter speed is constant. The GoPros autoexposure is a little misleading to how dark it really was. A lot of people also like to think that I shot at higher isos when I shot on Nikon D750. I’ve delivered over 52,000 professional wedding photos to clients and only 431 of them were over ISO 3200 (less than 1%!)

    • @michaels8597

      full frame is not 4/3,is not APS-C..period....sure we can use whatever but it's just not the same..In fact,my DSLR has APS-C crop mode,and a lot of the low light effectiveness is the sensor and DSP..

      @Reggiebphoto  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      madwindsurfer practice and skill for sure. And experimentation over what settings work for specific situations. Af-s works best for most situations. Single point small point size. For moving subjects, single point, af-c, continuous set 2 works best for me. But make sure to aim on a contrasty part of the subject (the eye) and overshoot so you have plenty to pick from after in post

    I like your photography (composition), Fuji colors are exquisite, however you tend to expose very bright, which changes the light atmosphere of the church to almost day- bright. I personally would rather preserve the atmo of a church. Deeper shadows and more contrast.

Thinking 16mm 1.4, 56mm 1.4, 23mm 2, Viltrox 85mm 1.8 and a couple zooms for better light situations. This video was brilliant!! So grateful you showed your methodology, showed it put into action, and great results from it. Your videos are great, and this one takes the cake. I hope you stay inspired to share for those amateurs like me who continue to grow in skill and ability.

    This old video of yours is about so much more than shooting in low light! My old college roommate asked me to shoot his low-budget, “DIY” wedding, and I’m trying to do my best impression of a pro this weekend, and this little video is relieving a lot of my anxiety about how to position myself for all the crucial shots of the ceremony.

    Good vid man - but if you had the X-H1 (I happily have x2), you could be shooting that 90mm (I have this lens too) at much lower speeds. The couple were not moving, but you were at 1/160th but unfortunately at 3,200 ISO. My pic's don't look too great at that high ISO, and I know the T3 is very similiar. With the H1, you could have had that same shot, but two stops better - 1/40th and 800 ISO. Just a thought Reggie!!

    Another excellent and informative video of you! I understand the reasoning why to shoot wide open in low light situations. BUT: there is the issue of shallow depth of field and potentially missing the focus on the exact right point so that photos appear unsharp..... how many focus misses or unsharp photos do you encounter with open apertures? Another question: for weddings and receptions in general - do you use face and/or eye detection?

    • @Reggiebphoto

    I think you’de be better off with a full frame camera if your shooting natural light at 3200. I know fuji and color breaks down quick. D750 is way better for this. Canon 5d mark iv as well. Fuji is a fun camera but I tried to work with them over my nikons and they just can’t do the same job. Also when shooting more than one person you want to be at higher aperture! At least 2.8 if your shooting group photos higher still!!

    Reggie,
    Nice vid, I'm thinking about buying a XT3 next to my XT2 for wedding photography.
    But for the architectual shots, why shoot at 1/250, why not lowering to about 1/100 and go to f4.0 so you get more DOF or lower your ISO instead?
    Do you take the risk of shooting at F1.2 or F1.4 because 56mm @ f1.2 at a distance of 5 metres gives you about 37cm DOF and at 3metres 13.5cm
    Ever thought about using AUTO ISO? If you choose your SS and shoot wide open, why not let the camera choose the ISO
    Cheers
    Steve

    • @Reggiebphoto
      @Reggiebphoto  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      PixeI Produxions 1) I prefer shooting wide closer to wide open it’s just my preference. 2) I take the risk of shooting at 1.2 to keep my isos lower. After testing the af settings on guests it was tracking consistently, so it was a calculated risk. 3) I prefer to shoot in manual. I don’t want the iso moving around when I don’t want it to.
