These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:12,846 All right? 2 00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:14,514 We're going to talk about high speed sync. 3 00:00:14,914 --> 00:00:18,985 And before we get into the high speed sync part of it, I'm going to go and 4 00:00:19,52 --> 00:00:22,455 explain a little bit about capacitors versus 5 00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:22,989 the 6 00:00:24,90 --> 00:00:26,126 high speed, or how strobes kind of work. 7 00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:26,393 Now, 8 00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:31,564 I don't know, I may have a little bit of this portion of this on the 9 00:00:31,798 --> 00:00:33,566 joelgrames academy under the craft. 10 00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,368 When I talk about lighty, 11 00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:42,876 I do have, I believe, a complete news section on the high speed sinking part 12 00:00:43,476 --> 00:00:46,46 that I added later after I built out the academy. 13 00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:49,616 So I believe this is brand new information for some of you. 14 00:00:49,949 --> 00:00:52,686 Well, for some of you, you may not have the Joel grands academy part. 15 00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:54,187 And so this is all brand new. 16 00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:58,258 there might be a little bit of repetition here at the very beginning. 17 00:00:58,491 --> 00:01:02,28 But I believe I go into a complete brand news section I built out for 18 00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:06,499 Photoshop world when I went and did a class on high speed sync. 19 00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:07,667 So 20 00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:10,337 this could be good information for you. 21 00:01:10,503 --> 00:01:15,542 If you want a little bit of a question as to what how strobes work and how 22 00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:19,713 high speed sync works, let's get into it, because I think this is kind of fun. 23 00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:22,182 So in the end, light is light. 24 00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:23,683 So, you know, 25 00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:27,120 this is what happens is we get caught up in, and we say, 26 00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:33,393 well, like, for example, I get emails, people say, I saw you behind the 27 00:01:33,393 --> 00:01:34,761 Scenes, and you are using a go dogs 28 00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:37,931 all right? 29 00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,900 And I thought you'd be more like a pro photo guy, right? 30 00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:45,472 pro photos are like, 34 or five times a cost, whatever. 31 00:01:45,705 --> 00:01:50,276 And so people think, well, if you pay 5000 dollars for a light, or 4000 32 00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:54,280 dollar, whatever it comes out to, it's got to be better than a 500 dollar. 33 00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:55,615 Light that's what we think. 34 00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:58,585 And there are some things you get what you know, you pay for. 35 00:01:59,52 --> 00:02:00,987 But I think when it comes down to it, light as light, 36 00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:05,625 are pro photos, better than I say in the inn. 37 00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:07,527 Quality y is better than godocks. 38 00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:08,795 I would say, yes. 39 00:02:09,396 --> 00:02:10,663 Do you need a pro photo? 40 00:02:11,64 --> 00:02:12,265 You don't need a pro photo. 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,834 if you have unlimited 42 00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:18,204 funds, maybe you're living off a trust fund. 43 00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:20,206 You have a rich dad. 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,775 I don't know, I'm joking here, 45 00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:23,777 and you can buy whatever you want. 46 00:02:23,943 --> 00:02:27,514 You, maybe you just go out and say, okay, I want to buy a whole truck full of 47 00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:30,183 pro photos. 48 00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:32,252 But for most of us, 49 00:02:33,787 --> 00:02:35,188 we watch every penny we have. 50 00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:36,156 And so 51 00:02:38,24 --> 00:02:41,628 I used einstein's for a while before that, the palsy, buff, white light 52 00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:42,429 means and whatever. 53 00:02:43,63 --> 00:02:43,463 Over the years. 54 00:02:43,463 --> 00:02:44,597 I've used a number of different strobes. 55 00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:45,965 They weren't always the most expensive. 56 00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:48,34 When it comes to lenses, glass 57 00:02:49,235 --> 00:02:52,105 cameras, things like that, I tend to buy the best I can. 58 00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:54,407 But with light, light is light. 59 00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:56,643 Modifiers are modifiers. 60 00:02:57,610 --> 00:02:58,845 Yes, you get what you pay for. 61 00:02:58,978 --> 00:02:59,713 When it comes to modifier. 62 00:03:00,13 --> 00:03:01,314 I explained, I think some of that 63 00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:03,316 when earlier, 64 00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:08,421 you get, pay the construction and the ability to tear something down and put 65 00:03:08,421 --> 00:03:09,923 it back together, the speed of it. 66 00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:14,594 So you can get a really inexpensive modifier, but it doesn't last, and it's 67 00:03:14,661 --> 00:03:16,196 very difficult to set up and tear down. 68 00:03:16,329 --> 00:03:18,398 So, but when it comes to light, 69 00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:21,768 yes, 70 00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:22,402 it's 71 00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:24,738 not always true. 72 00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:25,805 You get what you pay for. 73 00:03:26,172 --> 00:03:28,8 There's some great products out there with 74 00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:28,641 not 75 00:03:28,975 --> 00:03:31,44 super high end price tags. 76 00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:32,545 So 77 00:03:33,79 --> 00:03:34,247 when I say, look, 78 00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:36,16 don't get swayed by, 79 00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:38,885 I would say the hype. 80 00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:40,820 So we usually have 81 00:03:42,88 --> 00:03:45,58 a couple different, or two primary types of strokes. 82 00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:46,893 You have capacitor driven, 83 00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:49,429 that are, 84 00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:54,67 build up a charge and then discharge it through a flash tube. 85 00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:58,672 You have diaristra technology, or igb t, which I don't know what that means, 86 00:03:58,838 --> 00:04:01,474 but anyways, it's dirstructure technology. 87 00:04:02,8 --> 00:04:03,309 The einstein's were that. 88 00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:04,678 Speed lights are that. 89 00:04:05,78 --> 00:04:09,783 And so what happens is you discharge, you push the button, and the flash goes 90 00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:14,287 off, and it discharges, and i'll show you a minute, and there's a bell curve. 91 00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:17,724 And so the light goes to peek up to this highest output. 92 00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:22,262 And then with a diatherister technology, you can cut that 93 00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:26,399 output, of that discharge in the middle of its 94 00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:29,135 discharging process. 95 00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:31,471 And so it shortens the tea time down. 96 00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:33,540 So I think I've got an illustration here. 97 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:35,75 In a minute it comes up. 98 00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:37,310 when you buy a strobe, 99 00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:43,83 the packs that we had on the grounds back in the 80s, the 90s, they were all 100 00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:47,53 capacor driven, big, heavy duty strobes, and 101 00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:48,922 they were like boom. 102 00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:51,725 And a lot of those strobes had very little op options. 103 00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:55,161 So you had bank a, bank, b, bank c. 104 00:04:55,628 --> 00:05:01,568 So you put there's, 2000 Watts, but only really 1000 Watts come out of each 105 00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:02,902 bank or whatever. 106 00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,504 And you had to flip switches. 107 00:05:04,838 --> 00:05:06,272 And it was really complicated. 108 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,909 Today, we got the technologies amazing. 109 00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:14,347 And then I remember, like I said, the speed lights were very small, didn't 110 00:05:14,414 --> 00:05:17,851 put out a lot of power, but they had some capabilities that were pretty amazing, 111 00:05:19,52 --> 00:05:20,653 but they just didn't put out of power. 112 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,823 So that was kind of confusing, or difficult to work with. 113 00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:27,360 When you use, when you talk about flash duration, 114 00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:29,796 that's the bell curve. 115 00:05:30,30 --> 00:05:30,330 And the 116 00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:32,432 flash goes and discharges. 117 00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:33,433 And when it 118 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,234 stops, 119 00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:35,735 the 120 00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,437 flash duration, 121 00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:38,672 generally, for a capacitor, 122 00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:40,807 well depends 123 00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:42,575 between capacitor and thyrister. 124 00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:46,179 They usually fall within a 1300th of a second to a 112000th 125 00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:47,647 of a second. 126 00:05:48,14 --> 00:05:50,817 Some strobes go a little slower, some goal up, some little faster. 127 00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:53,53 To depend on specialists that might specialize in 128 00:05:54,587 --> 00:05:55,855 freezing a bullet or something. 129 00:05:56,22 --> 00:05:58,792 There might be a flash out there that does that. 130 00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,963 So you're in a range that is pretty wide. 131 00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:08,468 And if you're going to freeze action of someone jumping up and down, 132 00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:09,536 free 133 00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:11,204 spinning, 134 00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:14,274 you need about 16000th of a second to free somebody. 135 00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:16,843 I know that because I've shot a lot of athletes jump in the air. 136 00:06:17,77 --> 00:06:20,113 You can test that by swinging your arm really fast and fire and off. 137 00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:24,17 And then if you see a ghosting, you know that your flash duration isn't 138 00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:24,684 fast enough. 139 00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:26,720 Now, when it comes to high speed sink, 140 00:06:27,53 --> 00:06:29,456 I'm able to use my shutter speed 141 00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:32,25 as a way of freezing action. 142 00:06:32,359 --> 00:06:36,429 So if I put my shutter on 16 thousands of a second, get all my parameters, 143 00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:40,200 correctly, fire it, and I swing an arm or jump in the air, it'll be frozen. 144 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:41,935 You have a dancer jumping in the air. 145 00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:47,307 that's another benefit of high speed sinking, we'll talk about that in a 146 00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:50,510 minute, is it allows me to freeze action with my shutter speed. 147 00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:54,681 But most capaca driven strobes, you have a flash duration 148 00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:58,885 that will freeze your shutter or you freeze your subject. 149 00:06:59,219 --> 00:07:01,955 But you have to be within a closed environment of lights. 150 00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:03,456 You can't have full sunlight. 151 00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:06,26 You can do it in the studio. 152 00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,661 So here's a guy jumping, and it's composite. 153 00:07:09,62 --> 00:07:13,133 So I put him in a background that looks like he's outdoors, but he's really 154 00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:13,867 shot in a studio. 155 00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,636 And so I had to work around that for many years. 156 00:07:18,38 --> 00:07:19,506 Here I shot just a test, 157 00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:24,811 put a black background up, and I had a model swing and freeze her hair, and I 158 00:07:24,811 --> 00:07:26,79 shut it at 18000 159 00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:28,348 a second, just as a test. 160 00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:32,352 So if I shot that at 1300th of a second, that probably a ghosting blur, 161 00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:33,920 which could be kind of cool, 162 00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:35,355 but that's not what I want. 163 00:07:37,57 --> 00:07:38,925 So here's the where the graft is. 164 00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:41,161 So if you look at figure number three here, 165 00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:44,597 the flash goes off and then tapers down. 166 00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:47,300 And there's a teattime from the beginning to the end. 167 00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:50,270 it's in a very fast 168 00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:53,473 fraction of a second. 169 00:07:53,707 --> 00:07:54,74 But 170 00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:57,911 when it comes to freezing action, that would be considered a long 171 00:07:58,511 --> 00:07:59,846 dirt flash duration. 172 00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:03,49 And figure number four, second, one down. 173 00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,953 That's showing where you can cut the power in half. 174 00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,825 The technology of dierister technology, where you 175 00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:12,792 actually 176 00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,496 turn it off in the middle of its arcing 177 00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:18,31 down, arcing 178 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:20,800 discharge. 179 00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:22,936 And in figure 180 00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,772 five, which a third went down, that's a 110000th 181 00:08:27,73 --> 00:08:32,112 of a second with just a sliver of the flash peaking and then being cut off. 182 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,880 So you can see, that's 183 00:08:35,382 --> 00:08:36,182 been around for a while. 184 00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:38,518 Paul c buff, with the einsteins, 185 00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,588 brought it into a studio strobe, 186 00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,189 which was brilliant. 187 00:08:43,556 --> 00:08:44,958 And again, I used that 188 00:08:45,392 --> 00:08:48,161 for years, freezing athletes in studio. 189 00:08:49,62 --> 00:08:50,230 So here's 190 00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:51,297 some brands. 191 00:08:52,32 --> 00:08:55,135 I'm obviously a cannon guy, being a can explore of light. 192 00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,505 if you have another 193 00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:04,878 speed light that fits your brand of camera, 194 00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:07,47 amazing technology, 195 00:09:07,781 --> 00:09:08,448 they're very durable. 196 00:09:09,49 --> 00:09:12,118 When I say this, you don't want to drop it, bounce it on the concrete. 197 00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:15,855 But generally, if you drop to speed, light it's going to probably work. 198 00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:19,826 If you take a studio stroke drop, it 199 00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:21,928 probably it's not going to work 200 00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:25,231 they're a little more durable. 201 00:09:25,532 --> 00:09:26,733 And even the go docs 8600 202 00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,869 in a pretty solid case. 203 00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:34,507 I have not dropped one yet, but the pro photo are pretty solid too, 204 00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:38,445 but you're still not as, not as durable as a speed light. 205 00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:40,814 So that's one advantage of a speed, like we'll talk about that in a minute. 206 00:09:41,614 --> 00:09:43,316 So which drove is right for you? 207 00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:46,586 So that's the question that I always ask people, say, I want to buy a car. 208 00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:47,721 What kind of car should I buy? 209 00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:50,824 I'm like, well, do you have horses you need to haul? 210 00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:51,358 Hay, 211 00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:52,759 yeah, ok. 212 00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:53,927 You need a pickup truck. 213 00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,128 You don't need a convertible 214 00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:57,764 to haul your hay in. 215 00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:01,1 So when it comes to strobes, you've got to find out what your end result is. 216 00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:01,401 And so 217 00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:05,905 I would say, as a general rule, today, 218 00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:12,12 what I would recommend is something like the godox 8600, or something that has 219 00:10:13,79 --> 00:10:16,316 high speed sync studiostrope, high speed sink, has a battery on the back. 220 00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:18,251 That's where everything's going. 221 00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:23,456 And the price point around five is 67, hundreds, somewhere around there, not 222 00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:24,624 7000 dollars. 223 00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:26,826 And you can buy a kit of em. 224 00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:27,794 I usually buy three 225 00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:32,265 at maybe four, just to have a 4th, because if I do my three edge lighting 226 00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:34,768 and we're talking about the one light master class here. 227 00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:39,472 But if a client, I just did a whole week shooting for Edison power in LA. 228 00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:40,340 And I had 229 00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:42,8 four lights. 230 00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:46,579 Most of the time I used one, but on occasion I had a step of background 231 00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:46,980 light. 232 00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,515 I don't think I ever used more than two. 233 00:10:48,915 --> 00:10:50,383 Maybe once I use three lights. 234 00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:53,787 But you've got to be prepared if you're shooting commercially. 235 00:10:54,187 --> 00:10:56,990 But usually most of the stuff I did last week was one light. 236 00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:59,359 So that's what we're talking about, 237 00:10:59,693 --> 00:11:01,161 one like master class here. 238 00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:03,196 So one light is a great, 239 00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:04,964 great 240 00:11:06,99 --> 00:11:06,866 place to start. 241 00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:08,468 So 242 00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:09,769 again, 243 00:11:10,437 --> 00:11:12,172 think about looking at images 244 00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:16,309 and then look at them and say, is that a one light, two light, free light, whatever. 245 00:11:16,743 --> 00:11:20,13 And you'll probably drawn to a certain look, like, if you like to edgy, look 246 00:11:20,13 --> 00:11:20,914 why I do a lot of. 247 00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:23,83 For sports, then you'll need more than one light. 248 00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:27,387 But for beauty fashion portraits, you can get away with one light, but you 249 00:11:27,387 --> 00:11:27,887 are the artist. 250 00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:30,90 You have an end result that you have to get to. 251 00:11:31,57 --> 00:11:33,326 But here's a question I always have to ask myself. 252 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,29 And when someone asks me, what stroke should I buy? 253 00:11:36,329 --> 00:11:36,830 I always say, 254 00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:39,833 are you going to be going outdoors with it? 255 00:11:40,734 --> 00:11:43,370 And then, how much gear do you want to carry? 256 00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:45,472 As I get older. 257 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,43 My superman skills are getting weaker and weaker. 258 00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:50,744 And so 259 00:11:51,945 --> 00:11:53,947 I used to carry stuff like I was part gorilla. 260 00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:55,882 I'm now letting. 261 00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:57,450 My assistants carry more. 262 00:11:58,184 --> 00:11:59,152 And I do work out. 263 00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:00,20 I try to stay in shape. 264 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,954 But I tell you what, 265 00:12:02,88 --> 00:12:05,58 these cases get so heavy now it's like picking them up, put them in my suv, 266 00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:07,360 starting to go, oh my gosh. 267 00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:10,430 But how much power do you need? 268 00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,266 So if you go in outdoors, you're going to need a fair amount of power. 269 00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:18,438 If you shoot early morning and late light, you don't need as much power. 270 00:12:18,505 --> 00:12:19,706 High new knee, lots of power. 271 00:12:20,40 --> 00:12:22,742 So it really comes down to what kind of need you might have. 272 00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:25,745 And that might help you make a decision on 273 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:28,181 what light to buy. 274 00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:31,384 Now, the prose for speed light, are there? 275 00:12:31,384 --> 00:12:31,985 Lightweight, 276 00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:32,752 durable, 277 00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:35,88 built in wireless controls. 278 00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:40,593 I can actually control my speed light, even the ones that are off the camera, 279 00:12:41,294 --> 00:12:42,395 right on the back of my camera. 280 00:12:42,729 --> 00:12:43,363 Incredible. 281 00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:45,765 That's a new technology 282 00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:50,103 ettl, which I never use, but you can use that if you're doing weddings, 283 00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:50,570 it's, whatever. 284 00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:55,75 They have the high speed capability, they have optical zoom built into 285 00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:56,509 the flash. 286 00:12:56,743 --> 00:13:01,81 Or you can go wider, or narrower, beam, rear, curtain, sink, etc there's a 287 00:13:01,81 --> 00:13:03,316 whole bunch of things on speed lights you can do that are incredible. 288 00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:06,186 And I already mentioned you can control them now. 289 00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,822 And they have aaa, battery, a, w. 290 00:13:09,55 --> 00:13:09,222 Batteries. 291 00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:14,194 If you're so inclined, I usually have a battery pack that goes to my speed 292 00:13:14,361 --> 00:13:16,796 light if I'm going to be doing some serious shooting. 293 00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:19,232 And so what are the cons? 294 00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:20,967 Let's go to the cons, 295 00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:24,304 limited power, and they're kind of pricy. 296 00:13:24,738 --> 00:13:26,339 So you spend about 450 297 00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:33,980 Bucks or so, almost the same cost as me getting a go, docs, a d 600 or Einstein. 298 00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:38,585 So you get this little t thing, and it's still kind of pricey. 299 00:13:38,918 --> 00:13:41,454 Now you can buy an off brand, 300 00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:43,223 third party little speed lights, 301 00:13:44,591 --> 00:13:45,625 Ying yangs or something. 302 00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:49,629 There's always a name I can't even pronounce, that you can buy that are 303 00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:50,897 speedlight knock offs. 304 00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:53,266 Now here's what i'll tell you about that. 305 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,868 So, 306 00:13:55,869 --> 00:13:57,237 because I've had people buy them on. 307 00:13:57,237 --> 00:14:00,206 My brother, who is dabbling in photography a little bit, he's bought 308 00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,441 some of those cheap ones. 309 00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:06,346 If you drop one of those, it will shatter in 1000 pieces, pretty much 310 00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:09,482 guaranteed, it will not hold up on an impact that's. 311 00:14:09,549 --> 00:14:10,383 Number one, 312 00:14:11,51 --> 00:14:13,720 also, they don't always have all the bells. 313 00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:18,24 And whistles that a standard speed light that's proprietary to your 314 00:14:18,425 --> 00:14:18,591 camera. 315 00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:22,395 That's usually been thought out pretty well. 316 00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:24,164 They 317 00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:28,802 some don't do high speed sink, 318 00:14:29,636 --> 00:14:30,704 but some do. 319 00:14:33,73 --> 00:14:34,407 You give them a fraction of the cost. 320 00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:38,978 But if you're going to shoot for a client, or you're going to go on a 321 00:14:38,978 --> 00:14:40,313 project, six countries 322 00:14:40,513 --> 00:14:43,550 shooting, like I did for a department of labor, and I went to six countries, 323 00:14:43,783 --> 00:14:46,686 I took my speed lights, and I use them all the time. 324 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,188 Nonstop, never stop working. 325 00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:52,625 I bounce them around a little bit and never missed a beat. 326 00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:56,363 You take some knock offs, you're going to be having some problems. 327 00:14:56,596 --> 00:14:58,98 So is it worth it for you? 328 00:14:58,431 --> 00:15:00,900 Now, if you're just starting out with photography, and you say, look, I'm 329 00:15:01,1 --> 00:15:03,136 just going to play around a little bit, buy the knock offs. 330 00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:06,506 But I guarantee, if you're going to be shooting to make a with your camera, I 331 00:15:06,506 --> 00:15:08,41 would say, stay away from them. 332 00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:10,276 Today, we have more 333 00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:13,546 supporting products for speed lights. 334 00:15:13,947 --> 00:15:16,282 So I'm not trying to win you over to speed lights. 335 00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:19,152 I'm trying to give you an option here of what you can do. 336 00:15:19,452 --> 00:15:20,420 You can stack up 337 00:15:21,454 --> 00:15:24,357 speed lights, like they called westcot as a triple threat. 338 00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,560 We can put three into one modifier I've done that quite a bit, actually. 339 00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:32,832 And I have a kit that I have set up that if I have to go and gun and run 340 00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:33,466 and go, 341 00:15:35,1 --> 00:15:36,102 like I'm going to Brazil on Thursday, 342 00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:38,405 I might take my speed lights, 343 00:15:38,905 --> 00:15:42,175 and not by big strobes, and when I get there and probably doing a demo it's 344 00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:44,811 for cannon, so they'll have a bunch of speed lights for me. 345 00:15:44,811 --> 00:15:46,179 So maybe I'm not to pack them up. 346 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:49,49 But the fact is that if I want to travel super, super lightweight, 347 00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:55,288 and I still need a little bit of power, I might stack three of mine into one modifier. 348 00:15:56,656 --> 00:16:00,994 And so westcott has some great products that you can do that with, even their 349 00:16:01,61 --> 00:16:02,195 Apollo orb stuff. 350 00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:05,799 You can set it up and then put the triple thread on there and get three 351 00:16:05,865 --> 00:16:08,335 lights into one and make a pretty punchy little snap. 352 00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:13,840 There's a little rabbit box that you can very lightweight 353 00:16:14,574 --> 00:16:14,841 have it. 354 00:16:15,942 --> 00:16:17,944 The umbrella mounts some good stuff. 355 00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:19,879 And then magmad, 356 00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:22,816 that has some really cool things too 357 00:16:24,17 --> 00:16:27,854 that you can put on your speed light to do some 358 00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:29,923 modifications. 359 00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:34,728 We have some battery packs that'll help us get a quicker recycle time 360 00:16:35,28 --> 00:16:35,295 and 361 00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:37,597 a longer 362 00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:39,666 battery life. 363 00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:41,935 So there's the can in 600 er 364 00:16:43,136 --> 00:16:43,536 e xrts. 365 00:16:44,104 --> 00:16:45,372 I think that new one just came out. 366 00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,8 And with the version two, I probably need to update this 367 00:16:48,808 --> 00:16:50,410 a few little, extra little features. 368 00:16:51,311 --> 00:16:53,246 So here's the controller over there. 369 00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:58,251 Pretty amazing where we're at today let's talk about monolights, or we call 370 00:16:58,251 --> 00:16:59,486 the studio monolight monolite. 371 00:16:59,786 --> 00:16:59,953 Meeting. 372 00:17:00,20 --> 00:17:02,88 That's all built into 11 unit, 373 00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:04,357 not a pack on the floor. 374 00:17:04,491 --> 00:17:06,92 So the head is built into the 375 00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:11,664 actual part that distributes the power to the head. 376 00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:13,800 So there's medium to lightweight. 377 00:17:15,68 --> 00:17:18,338 they've gotten lighter than they were back when I was starting out, compared 378 00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:19,939 to what I used to carry and ship. 379 00:17:20,106 --> 00:17:20,507 Oh my goodness. 380 00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:25,545 They're fairly durable, but not as durable as speed lights, but they're 381 00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:25,779 fairly durable. 382 00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:28,348 They have some new wireless controls 383 00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:30,517 the godox has. 384 00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:33,787 there's some new strobes coming out. 385 00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:34,754 I'm testing one right now. 386 00:17:34,821 --> 00:17:38,925 By the time this comes to you, I will be probably promoting that light. 387 00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:44,30 I can't say who right now, but it's coming literally in, I think, a week or two. 388 00:17:45,298 --> 00:17:46,733 And it's a really cool light. 389 00:17:48,34 --> 00:17:51,938 It does all this stuff, ettl, high speed sync masking options. 390 00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:52,739 So what is that? 391 00:17:53,239 --> 00:17:57,544 Well, I think I have one picture that I might show you, but basically what it 392 00:17:57,544 --> 00:18:00,914 does is it allows you can take a static image. 393 00:18:01,81 --> 00:18:04,918 So let's say you have a bicycle and you have a sweep on a sweep, you 394 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,723 say, let's say you take two lights, and you light the background pure white, 395 00:18:10,90 --> 00:18:12,258 and then you have one light, or maybe multiple lights, 396 00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:14,260 lighting a bicycle. 397 00:18:14,994 --> 00:18:18,331 And then you say, you're going to use it for a product, and you're going to 398 00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:19,165 drop into a background. 399 00:18:19,866 --> 00:18:23,136 You can now program your strobes to trigger. 400 00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:27,240 The back ones trigger every time, but the front ones trigger every other 401 00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:27,474 time. 402 00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:32,679 So what happens is you go pop, and then they all go off, pop, and then only the 403 00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:33,546 background goes off. 404 00:18:33,546 --> 00:18:34,547 So 405 00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:38,518 if you have your light set upright, your bicycle will be a complete pure black 406 00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:39,786 knockout. 407 00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:42,122 And then you just go and drop it into anything. 408 00:18:42,355 --> 00:18:43,823 Now you can do it with people, 409 00:18:45,58 --> 00:18:46,993 and I've been doing that, I mean, testing it. 410 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,396 And so I can't let the cat out of the bag yet. 411 00:18:49,529 --> 00:18:52,832 But I've got some really cool things I'm doing with that masking option, 412 00:18:52,999 --> 00:18:53,633 where you have 413 00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:55,535 a light strobe 414 00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:58,238 coming off and 415 00:18:59,673 --> 00:18:59,773 alternating. 416 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:01,274 So 417 00:19:02,409 --> 00:19:05,912 that's all not a tutorial, but I'm just introducing it to you. 418 00:19:06,513 --> 00:19:08,14 You can troll your lights 419 00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:09,783 from your camera. 420 00:19:10,183 --> 00:19:15,55 And now this new one I'm testing will actually sync up with cannon 421 00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:19,626 speed lights, and it'll show up in the back of your camera. 422 00:19:19,793 --> 00:19:24,97 So you can actually control your lights up and down by using your monitor on 423 00:19:24,97 --> 00:19:24,798 your camera. 424 00:19:25,265 --> 00:19:26,66 Incredible. 425 00:19:27,0 --> 00:19:29,703 The battery is connected now, most of them are connected to the strobe, 426 00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:33,273 and you have tons of power to 427 00:19:34,107 --> 00:19:35,8 overpower the sun. 428 00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:36,9 Hey, 429 00:19:37,711 --> 00:19:39,45 I jumped ahead 430 00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:40,180 of myself. 431 00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:41,648 I didn't realize it is in here. 432 00:19:41,848 --> 00:19:43,350 Here's that masking technique. 433 00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:45,385 I can't believe I got this in here. 434 00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:46,386 Oh, I'm so excited. 435 00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:47,320 So I'm strobing 436 00:19:52,25 --> 00:19:54,761 setup to allow me to do some really cool stuff. 437 00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:55,862 So that's fun. 438 00:19:56,429 --> 00:19:59,199 And again, I can explain that more down the road. 439 00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:00,734 The cons, 440 00:20:02,435 --> 00:20:06,39 well, if you get three or four strobes into a case with his successories, it 441 00:20:06,39 --> 00:20:09,476 gets a little bit heavy, so it's not as lightweight as say, three or four speed 442 00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:10,410 lights in a case. 443 00:20:11,611 --> 00:20:13,246 The cost can get up there depend on the manufacturer. 444 00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:14,581 So I already touched on that. 445 00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:18,518 I would recommend going out and buying what you can afford. 446 00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:21,321 So that comes with any piece of equipment. 447 00:20:22,22 --> 00:20:24,991 And I have a wife that watches everything I do in terms of 448 00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:27,794 my spending. 449 00:20:28,361 --> 00:20:29,129 And so I have to 450 00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:33,466 have to present my case to her and say, look, honey, I need a new light. 451 00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:37,537 And she goes, do you need a little night, or do you want a new light? 452 00:20:37,704 --> 00:20:40,974 That's art of the land it's, usually it's a lens I'm trying to win her over with. 453 00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:45,779 And so she knows it's my business, and I have to run a business, but I have to 454 00:20:45,779 --> 00:20:48,181 also watch what I spend and how much money I spend. 455 00:20:48,648 --> 00:20:50,283 And so I'm sure you do too. 456 00:20:50,417 --> 00:20:51,985 Most of us are in that camp. 457 00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:54,87 So all right, 458 00:20:54,421 --> 00:20:55,955 let's talk about balancing strobes. 459 00:20:57,457 --> 00:20:59,25 With the outdoors, 460 00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:01,928 there are four 461 00:21:03,630 --> 00:21:05,699 variables that control the control exposure. 462 00:21:06,99 --> 00:21:09,269 So we have aperture shutterspeed iso, and we have 463 00:21:09,469 --> 00:21:10,270 the Nd filter. 464 00:21:10,503 --> 00:21:12,305 So the aperture is your app, stop 465 00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:14,407 shutter speed is the time 466 00:21:14,974 --> 00:21:17,711 iso's a sensitivity of film, or the sensor. 467 00:21:18,178 --> 00:21:21,381 And Nd filter is what blocks light coming into the lens. 468 00:21:21,481 --> 00:21:26,186 So these are your four variables that allow you to control your exposure, 469 00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:28,755 onto your camera, onto your sensor, or 470 00:21:30,23 --> 00:21:30,890 your final image. 471 00:21:31,391 --> 00:21:34,260 Now, for a long time, I didn't have end filter on there, because I didn't 472 00:21:34,427 --> 00:21:35,228 really think about it. 473 00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:39,866 Now that video comes along and use Nd filters all the time of video to give 474 00:21:39,933 --> 00:21:44,170 you control, your use of your shutter speed and how much light you have, all 475 00:21:44,170 --> 00:21:44,437 this stuff. 476 00:21:44,571 --> 00:21:47,307 And my kids are using the video with Nd filters. 477 00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:49,909 And then I got to think, and I started using Nd filters. 478 00:21:50,510 --> 00:21:53,947 Oh, about seven years ago, with strobing outdoors. 479 00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:58,918 Again, I can't say I was the first to do it, but I was pretty much right on 480 00:21:58,918 --> 00:22:00,20 the forefront of doing that. 481 00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:02,22 And then now we got the high speed seeking. 482 00:22:02,255 --> 00:22:06,426 I don't use it as much, but Nd filter is a variable that you can use to 483 00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:08,595 control how much light comes into your camera. 484 00:22:08,895 --> 00:22:12,499 So if you look at aperture, your aperture is tied to your strobe, your 485 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,34 shutter speed is tied to your ambient. 486 00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:17,404 And iso, and Nd filters cover both. 487 00:22:18,38 --> 00:22:19,139 Now, this is important to understand. 488 00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:24,177 Now, this might sound like a lot of information for some of you, because I 489 00:22:24,277 --> 00:22:26,846 know you're like me, I'm not the most technical person. 490 00:22:26,913 --> 00:22:29,616 I mean, I can get technical, but I like to make it simple. 491 00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:32,952 And I don't want to over complicate it technically. 492 00:22:33,453 --> 00:22:33,920 But 493 00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:34,988 you have to understand 494 00:22:36,22 --> 00:22:39,526 the parameters in which you are working with to control your light. 495 00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:41,61 It's not that complicated. 496 00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:45,532 So I would say to this to you, if you're sitting there going Joel, that 497 00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:46,566 sounds really complicated, 498 00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:52,38 you're going to have to take the time and maybe run this over this tutorial, 499 00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:54,40 and maybe go to some other tutorials. 500 00:22:54,507 --> 00:22:58,545 If there's some stuff out there, and you're going to have to get past the hurdle. 501 00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:04,117 So here's what I would tell you, I am often learning something, and I look at 502 00:23:04,117 --> 00:23:05,151 it and go, oh, my gosh. 503 00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:06,186 That sounds so complicated. 504 00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:09,55 And someone's trying to teach to me and say, go, oh, no, it's not. 505 00:23:09,55 --> 00:23:10,423 I'm like, oh, my, got a headache. 506 00:23:11,157 --> 00:23:14,94 Please don't fill my brain with any more information, right? 507 00:23:14,761 --> 00:23:18,865 And so what I usually do when I get to that point, I say, ok, Joel, 508 00:23:19,65 --> 00:23:20,166 is this important to learn? 509 00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:21,267 Yes, it is. 510 00:23:22,102 --> 00:23:22,435 All right. 511 00:23:22,736 --> 00:23:27,140 Let's back up, rewind let's start over from the beginning, and let's build the 512 00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:27,874 block slowly. 513 00:23:28,341 --> 00:23:29,909 And then one day I go, 514 00:23:31,378 --> 00:23:32,479 it's not that complicated. 515 00:23:33,79 --> 00:23:34,714 Anybody can learn this, just 516 00:23:35,215 --> 00:23:36,950 sometimes you got it back up and reset. 517 00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:37,617 So 518 00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,54 here's a situation where I overpowered the sun. 519 00:23:41,54 --> 00:23:41,721 This is not a composite. 520 00:23:42,22 --> 00:23:46,826 I'm strobbing, and the sun is actually coming from the right, my right, his 521 00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:47,60 left. 522 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,128 I have a stroke. 523 00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:50,764 What happened was, I had another stroke that did not go off. 524 00:23:51,64 --> 00:23:53,266 It ran out of power when I did this. 525 00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:57,937 And so technically I'm using the sun as kind of an edge light a little bit. 526 00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,639 And then I have an edge light, and then overhead light. 527 00:24:02,8 --> 00:24:03,243 once you understand your parameters. 528 00:24:03,710 --> 00:24:06,579 You can do a shot like this, where I'm controlling 529 00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:11,885 my environment and I'm building a dramatic shot, and I look like a rock 530 00:24:12,18 --> 00:24:12,185 star. 531 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:13,286 I love it. 532 00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:14,187 All right? 533 00:24:14,254 --> 00:24:15,789 Three sync options that are available. 534 00:24:16,256 --> 00:24:17,390 I hope you're still with me. 535 00:24:17,691 --> 00:24:18,491 I say that because 536 00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:21,227 I know that this might get a little long. 537 00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:23,163 And so stop it. 538 00:24:23,396 --> 00:24:23,963 Take a break. 539 00:24:24,264 --> 00:24:24,998 Have a cup of coffee. 540 00:24:25,231 --> 00:24:25,632 Come back. 541 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:26,599 Three sync options. 542 00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:27,534 One is 543 00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:28,802 standard sync, 544 00:24:29,369 --> 00:24:34,574 that is limited, tune of a second, or 250, whatever, depending on your 545 00:24:36,343 --> 00:24:36,509 camera. 546 00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:38,912 High speed sync that's what we're going to explain. 547 00:24:39,79 --> 00:24:42,415 That in a minute, the high burst of light going across your shutter 548 00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:43,516 and hot sink. 549 00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,220 And so there's not a lot of options out there. 550 00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:49,923 Anymore on hots, there was preo light, 551 00:24:50,824 --> 00:24:51,324 pure light. 552 00:24:51,458 --> 00:24:54,994 Ultra dot com was a company building a hot sink. 553 00:24:55,128 --> 00:24:59,966 And what that was is, that was a flash duration that was slower than your 554 00:25:00,33 --> 00:25:02,235 shutter speed at 1200th of a second. 555 00:25:02,435 --> 00:25:03,503 So it would go boo, 556 00:25:04,104 --> 00:25:05,905 really slow, like 16th a second. 557 00:25:06,272 --> 00:25:07,207 And in that case, 558 00:25:07,474 --> 00:25:12,112 you could actually raise your shutter speed above your sink speed, and you 559 00:25:12,278 --> 00:25:12,746 always had a 560 00:25:14,748 --> 00:25:19,352 burst of light hitting your sensor as your shutterspeed would go across. 561 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,56 Not a bad technology, but not 562 00:25:25,158 --> 00:25:26,393 it's not really 563 00:25:27,227 --> 00:25:30,997 probably the best option to go with, it's kind of cool sometimes. 564 00:25:32,499 --> 00:25:34,901 so sanar steak sync is you have to work within 565 00:25:36,169 --> 00:25:37,637 your camera's sync speed, 566 00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:42,275 but you have a flash duration, like I did in a studio, where I can freeze 567 00:25:42,409 --> 00:25:45,779 action, high speed seeing, oh my gosh, lots of more app options. 568 00:25:46,179 --> 00:25:48,581 And so those are typically your three standards. 569 00:25:49,149 --> 00:25:52,786 Now, if I would say this to you, if you're still with me, 570 00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:55,522 high speed sync and hot speed sync 571 00:25:56,89 --> 00:25:58,558 are two ways of 572 00:25:59,25 --> 00:25:59,459 having 573 00:26:00,593 --> 00:26:01,928 a burst of light 574 00:26:02,429 --> 00:26:04,164 that's longer than your 575 00:26:05,465 --> 00:26:06,666 tune of a second shutter speed. 576 00:26:07,801 --> 00:26:08,468 So 577 00:26:09,235 --> 00:26:11,938 it's a big burst pop, and your shutters gone, 578 00:26:13,139 --> 00:26:14,574 it's coming down of the slit. 579 00:26:14,674 --> 00:26:16,9 And i'll show you in a minute how that works. 580 00:26:16,676 --> 00:26:18,712 But it's always blasting light onto your sensor. 581 00:26:19,212 --> 00:26:19,679 And 582 00:26:20,347 --> 00:26:22,916 the high speed sink, where it's multiple flashy, so it's going to go, 583 00:26:22,916 --> 00:26:24,751 pop up a papa, pop up across your sensor. 584 00:26:24,918 --> 00:26:25,785 I'll explain it in a minute. 585 00:26:25,952 --> 00:26:26,252 But 586 00:26:27,554 --> 00:26:32,325 that is cheating the system, meaning that it's a work around your sink speed. 587 00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:35,995 So think about that it's kind of like a continuous light. 588 00:26:37,697 --> 00:26:40,166 So if I take a picture in a dark room, 589 00:26:40,834 --> 00:26:44,804 my shutter speed has no effect on the exposure to my camera 590 00:26:45,638 --> 00:26:46,506 or my tummato. 591 00:26:47,73 --> 00:26:48,208 It doesn't change. 592 00:26:48,408 --> 00:26:49,776 So if it's pure black 593 00:26:50,76 --> 00:26:51,344 studio, 594 00:26:51,711 --> 00:26:54,714 or really dim lighting, I can put it at, 595 00:26:55,315 --> 00:26:57,384 let's say, tuned of a second and click. 596 00:26:57,851 --> 00:27:01,87 If I take my flash sink off and take a picture, is pure black. 597 00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:03,56 It's not the ambient. 598 00:27:03,390 --> 00:27:04,791 Light around is not 599 00:27:05,392 --> 00:27:05,558 affecting. 600 00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:08,762 So if I go to 100 a second, it probably won't change anything. 601 00:27:08,995 --> 00:27:12,499 Now if I go to two seconds, and I've got a couple of light, bulbs of it will 602 00:27:12,899 --> 00:27:13,633 start to show up. 603 00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:16,169 But if it's a black room, I can put it one second, it doesn't matter. 604 00:27:16,269 --> 00:27:19,539 So in the old days, we used to do multiple pops in a black room, and 605 00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:22,409 someone was jumping like an athlete jumping through the air, and it goes, 606 00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:27,547 and you can see all these different exposures coming onto your film or 607 00:27:27,614 --> 00:27:27,781 sensor. 608 00:27:28,415 --> 00:27:29,482 It's kind of a cool thing. 609 00:27:29,783 --> 00:27:33,753 But your shutter speed has no effect in a dark environment. 610 00:27:36,589 --> 00:27:39,192 So when we talk about the 611 00:27:40,193 --> 00:27:41,594 sunny sixteen rule, 612 00:27:42,729 --> 00:27:43,229 and that is 613 00:27:45,131 --> 00:27:48,268 sending your fstop at f 16, and your shutter speed matches your iso. 614 00:27:48,668 --> 00:27:51,137 So if they have one another, I so set your shutterspeed 116, 615 00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,874 you will overpower the sun to get 616 00:27:55,308 --> 00:27:56,676 a blue sky, so to speak. 617 00:27:56,743 --> 00:27:58,244 If there's blue, and 618 00:27:59,879 --> 00:28:02,716 it's a way of learning your baseline 619 00:28:03,49 --> 00:28:07,53 to setting up your strobe and being able to overpower the sun. 620 00:28:07,721 --> 00:28:08,655 That's the standard, 621 00:28:09,289 --> 00:28:10,557 the old school way of doing it. 622 00:28:12,25 --> 00:28:14,527 Once you understand the sunny sixteen rule, it's actually pretty simple. 623 00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:15,829 Your options, aren't that 624 00:28:16,496 --> 00:28:17,130 great? 625 00:28:17,597 --> 00:28:18,231 And 626 00:28:19,232 --> 00:28:20,433 so let me explain that. 627 00:28:21,468 --> 00:28:23,36 And what I might do 628 00:28:23,370 --> 00:28:23,703 is, 629 00:28:25,472 --> 00:28:27,7 I just don't want to go too long here. 630 00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:27,507 So 631 00:28:27,874 --> 00:28:29,75 let's keep going. 632 00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:29,776 Let's keep going. 633 00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:33,880 I'll find a break, and then we'll break this into part one, part two, because I 634 00:28:33,947 --> 00:28:38,451 know some of you are like, probably chopping at the bit to get to, 635 00:28:39,386 --> 00:28:40,987 you know, we say, Joel, get to the point. 636 00:28:41,454 --> 00:28:42,756 But I want to explain everything. 637 00:28:42,989 --> 00:28:46,259 And part of being an instructor is very difficult, because I don't want to 638 00:28:46,259 --> 00:28:46,993 leave you on behind. 639 00:28:47,394 --> 00:28:48,495 Does that make sense? 640 00:28:50,96 --> 00:28:51,31 Take the iso. 641 00:28:51,531 --> 00:28:54,667 Let's, say, it's one to set your shutterspeed at 100th of a second, set 642 00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:58,204 your aperture at 16, and that matches the output of the sun. 643 00:28:58,338 --> 00:29:02,275 As a general rule, when the sun's up fairly high in the sky at sunset 644 00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:07,480 sunrise, it's not going to be a sunny sixteen, but as a general rule when the 645 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:07,947 sun's in full. 646 00:29:09,315 --> 00:29:11,985 So if I want to 647 00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:18,91 have a variable change to my exposure in my background, I want to make it 648 00:29:18,91 --> 00:29:19,59 darker or even lighter. 649 00:29:19,292 --> 00:29:20,326 But let's say darker. 650 00:29:21,61 --> 00:29:23,496 So my subject pops off the 651 00:29:24,664 --> 00:29:26,733 frame, or it pops toward me. 652 00:29:27,233 --> 00:29:29,135 Then I got to learn how to darken the background. 653 00:29:29,436 --> 00:29:30,637 So 654 00:29:32,739 --> 00:29:33,773 when I say this again, 655 00:29:34,341 --> 00:29:36,976 you have to realize there's only a few variables 656 00:29:38,11 --> 00:29:39,346 that you can adjust 657 00:29:39,713 --> 00:29:40,313 to do that. 658 00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:42,82 You've got to know what they are. 659 00:29:42,415 --> 00:29:43,216 So 660 00:29:43,516 --> 00:29:44,150 to 661 00:29:45,51 --> 00:29:47,954 let's say, dark in the background, two stops, in this case it's a two stop 662 00:29:48,121 --> 00:29:48,955 darker background. 663 00:29:49,222 --> 00:29:49,389 Ok? 664 00:29:49,689 --> 00:29:50,890 So now she pops off. 665 00:29:52,92 --> 00:29:53,226 I only have two options. 666 00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:56,896 In this case right now, I have two options, increase my shutter speed or 667 00:29:56,896 --> 00:29:58,231 decrease my power output. 668 00:29:58,598 --> 00:29:58,998 Or ins. 669 00:29:59,65 --> 00:30:02,869 I increase my power output, increase my shutterspeat or increase my power output. 670 00:30:03,236 --> 00:30:04,304 Those are my two options. 671 00:30:04,571 --> 00:30:05,805 So let's look at a chart. 672 00:30:06,339 --> 00:30:07,507 This will help a lot. 673 00:30:08,308 --> 00:30:08,975 So 674 00:30:11,211 --> 00:30:12,679 this is stannard strobes, by the way. 675 00:30:12,679 --> 00:30:15,148 Folks, ok, take the sunny sixteen rule. 676 00:30:15,315 --> 00:30:16,349 Start at 100 second. 677 00:30:16,416 --> 00:30:19,219 At sixteen to dark in the background, I have option one. 678 00:30:19,853 --> 00:30:21,788 I go from 100th a second to 200. 679 00:30:22,88 --> 00:30:23,323 There's my ceiling. 680 00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:25,225 I can't go above 200th a second. 681 00:30:25,692 --> 00:30:28,161 That gives me a one stop 682 00:30:28,495 --> 00:30:29,129 change. 683 00:30:29,929 --> 00:30:30,563 Or 684 00:30:31,464 --> 00:30:36,102 I go to 100th of a second, leave it there, and go to an f stop. 685 00:30:36,569 --> 00:30:40,607 F 22 that's one stop darker that's a one stop variable. 686 00:30:40,907 --> 00:30:43,343 Now, however, I'm going to have to 687 00:30:43,710 --> 00:30:47,847 increase the power of my strobe to put out a f 22 light 688 00:30:49,449 --> 00:30:50,83 of power. 689 00:30:50,750 --> 00:30:53,953 So if your stroke can't do that, this is not an option for you, but it's 690 00:30:54,20 --> 00:30:54,187 possible. 691 00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:55,55 I do it all the time 692 00:30:56,489 --> 00:30:59,859 to darken your background, two stops, which is, so, in this case of this girl, 693 00:31:01,294 --> 00:31:01,761 Bryce 694 00:31:03,530 --> 00:31:07,467 that's a lifestyle shot, and it's probably that background's pretty, 695 00:31:07,534 --> 00:31:09,269 even, maybe one stop darker, ok. 696 00:31:09,636 --> 00:31:12,639 But to darken two stops of that picture before a Bryce, 697 00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:15,542 I have option number one, which is go to 41400th 698 00:31:16,743 --> 00:31:16,976 a second. 699 00:31:17,143 --> 00:31:18,878 Well, it happens that my camera can't do that. 700 00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:21,214 So that option is out for me. 701 00:31:21,214 --> 00:31:26,353 But now, in the old days, when I had a film camera, media format camera had a 702 00:31:26,353 --> 00:31:28,154 sync speed of 1400th of a second. 703 00:31:28,955 --> 00:31:29,756 Beautiful, 704 00:31:30,490 --> 00:31:33,560 then we got rid of the medium format and went to digital, 705 00:31:34,828 --> 00:31:36,29 single infreflex cameras. 706 00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:39,232 And I went back to, tuned to the second sink speed. 707 00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:41,134 And it really was frustrating. 708 00:31:41,768 --> 00:31:45,105 Option two is to go to 21 of the second, which I can do, 709 00:31:46,39 --> 00:31:47,40 and at f 22. 710 00:31:47,374 --> 00:31:48,808 So that's a two stop jump. 711 00:31:50,510 --> 00:31:54,280 And by the way, I did that for the workshop last workshop we had out here. 712 00:31:54,581 --> 00:31:56,16 I did that and showed everyone 713 00:31:56,249 --> 00:31:57,751 f 22 of a second, 714 00:31:58,118 --> 00:31:59,686 and it had lots of top of the field, 715 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,389 but I had overpowered the sun and looked beautiful. 716 00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:04,657 Option three is f 32. 717 00:32:05,58 --> 00:32:06,259 Well, my camera doesn't have. 718 00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:07,727 Most of my lenses don't go at 32. 719 00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:08,962 Some do. 720 00:32:09,462 --> 00:32:11,664 I think a few select lenses go to have 32. 721 00:32:12,98 --> 00:32:14,234 If you have a medi format camera, it might go to have 32. 722 00:32:15,301 --> 00:32:17,470 But then for most of us that's not an option. 723 00:32:17,771 --> 00:32:19,839 So in reality, 724 00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:23,710 on a standard strobe, I really only have one option with the camera setup 725 00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:24,744 that I have an output 726 00:32:26,513 --> 00:32:27,380 of f 22. 727 00:32:28,14 --> 00:32:29,949 That's usually tune to the second, f 12. 728 00:32:30,183 --> 00:32:33,386 So now that's why I say it's not so difficult. 729 00:32:33,853 --> 00:32:38,758 When, for example, I had my ten attendees out here at my workshop, and 730 00:32:38,892 --> 00:32:42,829 I said to them, we're going to do a standard strobe approach, non high 731 00:32:42,829 --> 00:32:45,865 speed sink, and we're going to get f 22 power of my strobe. 732 00:32:46,32 --> 00:32:47,834 And I'm, instead of at 22, fam 733 00:32:49,369 --> 00:32:50,236 there's my shot. 734 00:32:52,105 --> 00:32:53,773 I'm reaching the ceiling on both 735 00:32:54,107 --> 00:32:56,743 my shutterspeed and how dark I can put the aperture. 736 00:32:57,377 --> 00:32:58,244 And I know 737 00:32:58,411 --> 00:33:02,182 from experience, that's going to give me one cool looking shot, right? 738 00:33:02,749 --> 00:33:05,118 So it's not like I have to get out there and fiddle, 739 00:33:05,952 --> 00:33:10,924 even make an exposure I mean, well, I have to get sure my strobe is putting 740 00:33:10,990 --> 00:33:14,561 out at 22 light that's about the only variable I have to work on 741 00:33:15,61 --> 00:33:16,162 and where I put the light. 742 00:33:18,231 --> 00:33:18,431 So 743 00:33:19,466 --> 00:33:24,738 if I had a high speed sink, then I can go now and set my aperture or my 744 00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:28,641 shutterspeed at any shutter speed, which breaks 745 00:33:29,442 --> 00:33:29,909 the 746 00:33:30,744 --> 00:33:33,146 ceiling on the standard approach. 747 00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:35,515 So let's look at 748 00:33:36,583 --> 00:33:37,617 this, but let's take a break. 749 00:33:37,784 --> 00:33:41,788 Let's take a break, because we'll call this part one, and then we'll go to 750 00:33:41,788 --> 00:33:42,188 part two. 751 00:33:42,255 --> 00:33:45,925 And i'll get into working with shallow dip field and 752 00:33:46,493 --> 00:33:46,659 strobes. 753 00:33:47,60 --> 00:33:49,129 And then we're going to get into the high speed sync part. 754 00:33:49,629 --> 00:33:50,563 Hope, you should 59628
